About
Singing bowls like this one have long been used across Himalayan Buddhist and Hindu practice for meditation, chanting, and sound work. Many people use the rich, lingering tone to mark the start or end of a meditation session, settle a busy mind, or create a calm, focused atmosphere in a room. The hammered detailing reflects traditional Tibetan metalworking.
It's a favorite for balance and wellness practice, and pairs naturally with a Palo Santo Holy Stick for a combined sound-and-smoke ritual. Explore more Tibetan singing bowls in other sizes.
How to use it
To play, strike the rim gently with the mallet for a single resonant tone, or circle the mallet slowly and steadily around the outer rim to build a sustained singing note. Use it to open or close a meditation session, or simply enjoy the sound on its own.
Care
Wipe the metal with a soft, dry cloth after use, and store it away from moisture to prevent tarnishing. Because each bowl is handmade, tone, finish, and surface markings vary from bowl to bowl, so yours will be one of a kind and may differ slightly from the photo.
