Tips on Choosing the Right Tibetan Singing Bowl for You



The 
art of mindfulness can really do wonders for your life. In fact, it has been proven to help people thrive in the most difficult situations, including the pandemic, and being mindful has even done wonders for people’s health and overall quality of life.

Now if you’re trying to take a journey towards mindfulness, you should be investing in one of those Tibetan singing bowls. Follow these tips to help you choose the right bowl for you:

Think About Size 

Tibetan singing bowls come in different sizes—from small to large—and your choice of size will depend largely on the space where you’ll be using your bowl. For instance, if you usually meditate inside your studio or home gym, then you can go for a smaller bowl. On the other hand, if you like to meditate in a bigger space, then a larger bowl would be ideal.

You should also know that smaller singing bowls produce higher-pitched sounds while larger singing bowls produce lower, deeper sounds. Both of these bowls are beneficial, but you have to choose one that you’re most comfortable with since some people have sensitivity to very high-pitched sounds.

Think About Weight

Tibetan singing bowls are made with metals that are believed to be connected to the seven chakras, seven notes, and seven heavenly bodies. Depending on what type of metal they’re made of and how big they are, these bowls can either be very heavy or light.

A bowl’s weight is also a sign of its authenticity since it signifies that the bowl is made traditionally using authentic materials. Lighter singing bowls produce a lighter vibration and a higher-pitched tone. On the other hand, the bigger and heavier bows produce a deeper vibration and a much lower tone. Now if you can’t decide whether you should go for a lighter or heavier bowl, you can try different bowls and see what feels most comfortable to you.

Think About Tone

A singing bowl’s tone is really where the magic happens. In fact, different bowls are made for different purposes. For instance, singing bowls with a more pronounced tone are made specifically for healing or sound therapy. On the other hand, owls with more lower frequencies are made for meditation, relaxation, and grounding. Again, if you can’t decide, try different types of bowls from markets or those owned by friends to know what works for you.

Think About Quality

Of course, you need to look for a singing bowl that’s made by artisans, especially those from Tibet and the Himalayan region. One of the best ways to determine if a singing bowl is of good quality is if it’s made of pure metal. If you’re shopping online, look for a store that sells bowls made by local artisans using traditional methods. This will help you ensure that your bowl serves its purpose. 

Investing in a Tibetan singing bowl is definitely one that you wouldn’t regret. So if you’re ready to shop, get in touch with us so we can help you find the best singing bowl for you.
