History of Singing Bowl 

Since the dawn of human civilization, people have turned to music and other forms of sound as a means of self-care. Singing bowls were among the earliest instruments made for this purpose. Singing Bowls are metal bowls with nearly perfect symmetry; they make music when a wooden stick is rotated around the rim or lightly struck against the rim. Mallet in English, known as "Puja" in Nepali, these hardwood sticks are coated in felt or leather. Common names for singing bowls include Tibetan Singing Bowl, Tibetan healing Bowl, Tibetan Meditation Bowl, and Himalayan Singing Bowl. These bowls are traditionally crafted from a variety of metals, including mercury, copper, gold, silver, lead, and iron. In light of this, making singing bowls is often cited as one of the earliest examples of human creativity. In spite of the fact that singing bowls have been passed down through the generations for millennia, unfortunately, the oral history of their creation has been lost with each new owner. According to historians, the first singing bowls were crafted from pure copper and used for both healing and music. They were mostly made in the private residences of the craftspeople. At first, information about metalworking was passed down from parent to child, but that practice soon died out. Brass, an alloy of copper and other metals, was eventually used to make singing bowls. Stories from the turn of the past century suggest that brass singing bowls dating back two millennia began appearing in a region spanning southern Asia, northern India, and northern Nepal. The Nepalese metalworking tradition goes back more than 700 years. Nepalese metalworkers have risen to prominence as some of the world's finest specialists in their field. The singing bowl, a metal figure dated to more than 600 years ago and discovered in the Himalayan area of Nepal, is proof that the origin of the singing bowl is in Nepal. Asian bronze bells date back to the eighth to tenth century B.C., and singing bowls are said to have originated in the Himalayas between the years 1000 and 1200 A.D. The ethereal tones of singing bowls are now ubiquitous in settings as diverse as yoga studios, schools, and religious Hindu and Buddhist places.

The material used in a singing bowl 

The ratio of the raw materials used determines the sound quality of the singing bowl. The bowl is made from seven metals: Tin, Copper, Silver, Gold, Zinc, Lead, and Iron. Gold and silver, however, are not used due to their exorbitant prices at the present time. Typically, tin and copper are used. 

Use of singing bowl 

Singing bowls have many practical applications beyond meditation, including promoting a state of deep relaxation and muscle regeneration, alleviating pain in the joints, muscles, and shoulders, relieving pain associated with spinal stenosis, the digestive system, headaches, migraines, or spine injuries, enhancing circulation, releasing tensions or blockages, opening energy flow, and flushing toxins from the body. By calming the mind with the soothing tones of Tibetan bowls or the gong, we can better focus and release pent-up emotions. The soothing vibrations of the sound can help soothe any mental or emotional instability. 

How to use?

1st approach: striking

Simply place the mallet in your dominant hand and the bowl in the palm of your non-dominant hand.

The mid-exterior wall of the bowl should be lightly struck with the cushioned side of the mallet, which you should hold like a baton.

A pleasing, deep sound will be produced when the bowl is struck.

2nd Approach Rimming

Get comfortable in a chair or mat, spine erect, breathing normally to start.

To use, place the bowl in the palm of your less dominant hand and the mallet in your more dominant hand.

The padded end of the mallet should now sit gently in the web between the thumb and forefinger, with the forefinger and thumb gripping the mallet centrally like a pen.

First, lightly tap the bowl on its mid-exterior wall to "warm it up;" then, before the vibrations die down, bring the mallet up to a vertical position near the bowl's rim and begin clockwise circling of the rim. As soon as you make touch with the rim to start singing, you should begin circling it.
