Tibetan singing bowls have a rich history rooted in ancient Buddhist traditions. Originating in the Himalayan region, particularly Tibet, Nepal, and India, these bowls have been used for centuries in spiritual and healing practices. Their exact origins are somewhat obscure, but they are believed to date back over 2,000 years to the time of the Buddha.

Traditionally made from a blend of seven metals—copper, tin, iron, lead, gold, silver, and mercury—Tibetan singing bowls are renowned for their resonant, harmonious sound. The crafting process involves hand-hammering the metal into shape, creating bowls that vary in size and tone.

Singing bowls are used in a variety of practices, including meditation, sound healing, and ceremonial rituals. When struck or played by rubbing a mallet around the rim, they produce a soothing, harmonious tone that is believed to promote relaxation, balance, and spiritual growth. The vibrations emitted by the bowls are said to align and balance the body's energy centers (chakras), helping to relieve stress and enhance mental clarity.

We source our Tibetan singing Bowls from a family in Kathmandu who have been making them for generations. Each one is hand made and then hand tuned by hammering the bowl to give the perfect sound.  Hammering the bowl gives the bowl a wide range of harmonics rather than just one pure note, this is the mark of a high quality singing bowl.
