Tibetan Bell Views
Singing bowls (also known as Himalayan Bowls, rin gongs, medicine bowls, Tibetan bowls or suzu gongs in Japan) are a type of bell, specifically classified as a standing bell. Rather than hanging inverted or attached to a handle, standing bells sit with the bottom surface resting. The sides and rim of singing bowls vibrate to produce sound. Singing bowls were traditionally used throughout Asia and the tradition of making sound with bronze bowls could go back 3,000 years to the bronze age. Today they are employed worldwide both within and without spiritual traditions, for meditation, music, relaxation, personal well-being and religious practice. Singing bowls are used in health care by oncologists, psychotherapists, massage therapists, recovery, stress and meditation speacialists. They are popular in classrooms to help facilitate group activities and focus students' attention.
In addition to their traditional usage for meditation, Tibetan singing bowls are used for deep relaxation, stress reduction, holistic healing, Reiki, chakra balancing, and World music. Many people find that the rich blend of harmonic overtones which the bells produce have a direct affect upon their chakras.
Tibetan bells are also known as singing bowls, meditation bowls, chakra bowls, healing bowls or Himalayan bowls. They are part of the Buddhist religion and were originally found in the Himalayas. They are used to achieve the highest state of meditation in ceremonies or individual meditation. Tibetan bells create a calming sound that is used for the beginning or ending of a meditation to focus the mind. They are found in many different sizes and shapes. The pitch of the bowl depends on its thickness, size and weight. According to the American Medical Association, studies have determined that 75 percent to 90 percent of doctor visits can be attributed to stress. These bowls are used for treatment by using the sound as a therapy that calms the nervous system and enhances brain functions.
