Are Therapeutic Singing Bowls the same as Tibetan Healing Bowls?

People use a lot of different words to refer to the tradition of bronze singing bowls made for meditation – Tibetan music bowls, Tibetan soundbowls, Himalayan bowls, Buddhist prayer bowls, temple bowls, and more. We get our bowls from all over southeast Asia – many of them come from India. Our bowls are very high quality and they are all born out of the spiritual tradition of meditating with sound. .

Our therapeutic singing bowls are made with sound healers and therapists in mind. Each bowl is given extra time and care when they’re being made, with special attention paid to the final sound – long sustain and meditative, calming, warm tones. We know that you’re going to love these singing bowls.

I know how to play crystal singing bowls – are bronze and Tibetan singing bowls similar? Will your Therapeutic Singing Bowls work in a Crystal Sound Bath?

Our Therapeutic Singing Bowls are great companions to Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs, Chimes, and more meditation and sound healing instruments. They present a complementary sound to these other instruments and will fill up the tonal space perfectly.

Playing a bronze singing bowl is very similar to playing a crystal bowl, except they are less delicate. As mentioned above, we have a ton of videos showing how we play our singing bowls and demonstrating how to create meditative sound experiences. Feel free to spend as much time as you need on those channels (linked in the last section) and please use it as a resource to help you on your sound healing journey.

Do you have any information on singing bowl notes and chakras?

There are a lot of discussions out there about which notes are chakra notes, how to tune your chakras with singing bowls, which singing bowl frequencies align with “chakra musical notes” and so on.

While we don’t necessarily think one chakra will only respond to one frequency, we understand that many people are interested in this. Since much of western music is played in scales of 7 notes (imagine the Solfeggio Frequencies – do re mi fa sol la ti), it’s easy to imagine that the lowest, 1st note in a scale could correspond to the 1st chakra, and so on.

Rather than assign a specific note (like C) to a specific chakra, we like to imagine that a scale of 7 notes is a talismanic representation of working through the chakras and the ways that these different energies play off of each other. Ultimately, we believe that with the right intention and spiritual mindset, any notes can help to cleanse the energetic body.

What are some of the Tibetan Singing Bowl benefits? Which bowls are the best singing bowls to get the benefits?

The act of creating music and listening mindfully to sound is proven to help reduce stress, ease the mind, release tension, and improve cognitive function. Working with therapeutic singing bowls and other sound healing instruments is one really easy way to tap into the benefits of creating and listening to music mindfully.

We think our Therapeutic Singing Bowls specifically are great bowls for sound healers and meditation practitioners. The extra attention paid to the sound of these bowls by the bowl-makers creates an amazing sonic experience, perfect for unlocking the benefits of singing bowls.

I lit my incense, I have my himalayan salt lamp on, I'm burning palo santo sticks, and my crystals have been cleansed – how should I play my singing bowls for healing?

You’re off to a great start! You’re being mindful, you’re doing things that help you relax and get comfortable, you’re being intentional about healing.

The most important thing is to relax and approach your bowls calmly and without fear or reluctance. Many people convince themselves that they’re doing it wrong or that they’re not good enough or they don’t have enough training to try to meditate or heal with singing bowls. While there are certainly techniques and methods that will help you to get the best sounds out of your bowls, there are many roads to heaven! We have a ton of videos on our YouTube channel and there are a LOT of resources out there. I learned by imitating the way other people play, practicing, developing a relationship with the bowls, and trusting my senses.

With a little relaxation and trust, you’ll be on your way to healing with bowls in no time!
