These singing bowls are around 75 years old and very special. The singing bowls are used to develop focus and attention in our practice and in our daily lives. Don't be fooled by replicas - our antique singing bowls are hand made, hand-selected and are made only by Tibetan artisans through special ancient techniques handed down from generation to generation. The bowls are made of 7 metals, one for each planet: Gold for the sun, silver for the moon, mercury for Mercury, Iron for Mars, Tin for Jupiter and Lead for Saturn. The harmonies of all the metals produce subtle distinctions creating a sensation of great space and profound peace. Each bowl comes with its own pillow made of woven Tibetan cloth to rest it on when not in use, though it needs to be held to be played. The kit also includes the wooden wand to make the bowl sing, and a book of instruction about this ancient technique for developing attentiveness. We test all the bowls for sound. It is hard to get bowls that are the same exact size, because they are handmade for SOUND, not for size, so sometimes a smaller bowl may be sent to you, but rest assured that the sound is fabulous. 4" diameter for the small, 6" for the large, and 12" diameter for the Huge.
