A Cleansing or Singing Bowl, also known as a Himalayan bowl or cup gong, is a musical instrument used in Buddhist meditation, dating back many centuries. They are traditionally played in Tibet, Nepal, India, China, Japan, and Korea, mostly by Buddhist monks and in monasteries. Today, Singing Bowls are frequently used for meditation, prayers, hymns, healing, sound massage, chakra balancing, yoga, and purification of Chi (energy) in Feng Shui practice. It is especially good in attracting new business opportunities and increasing sales.
The Singing Bowl will “sing”, producing a pure and loud multiplying metallic sound when the mallet is hit against the rim of the bowl. This vibrant, crisp, and crystal clear sound created by the Singing Bowl instantly clears away negative energy in any living space and purifies the energy in all space ‘touched’ by it. The continuous harmonic sound enhances and purifies the Chi, enlivens and nourishes stale Chi with balanced yin and yang energy, chases away negative energy, transforms inauspicious energies into auspicious energies, and produces Seng Chi, the intrinsic energy which brings good fortune and prosperity. In addition, the lingering and soothing harmonics produced penetrates deep within the body and mind creating a sense of tranquility and subtle healing.
