How to use it
For a single resonant tone, strike the outer rim gently with the mallet. For a sustained, ringing hum, press the mallet against the outer rim and circle it steadily at a consistent pressure and speed until the bowl "sings." Many people use it to open or close a meditation session, or simply pause and reset during the day.
Care
Wipe the bowl clean with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep it dry and away from moisture, and store it somewhere it won't be knocked, scratched, or dented.
