Himalayan Singing Bowls:
Magic Sound for Your Body and Mind
Have you ever heard a church bell ring? Do you recall your feelings? I bet you’ve felt calm and happy! And it’s no surprise – special sounds like those of church bells do make us feel good! Himalayan singing bowls are like magic bells that can help our bodies and minds feel better.
What are Himalayan singing bowls?
Himalayan singing bowls are special metal bowls that make beautiful sounds when you strike or rub them. A traditional singing bowl is handmade from seven metals: lead, tin, iron, copper, zinc, silver, and gold, which correspond to the seven energy centers (chakras). Himalayan singing bowls have been used for centuries for healing, meditation, and medicine.
How do Himalayan singing bowls work?
Himalayan Singing Bowl Process
When the practitioner plays a Himalayan singing bowl, it makes sound waves. These waves go deep into the body and make the cells vibrate. In simple terms, it’s like giving your whole body a gentle massage with sound!
This special vibration can help:
-
Promote the feel of calm and happiness
-
Improve the quality of the sleep
-
Support the immune system to fight off sickness
-
Ease up the feelings of stress and anxiety
What happens during a Himalayan singing bowl session?
Each sound healing session at Dasein Yoga and Healing starts with a brief discussion of the client’s intentions and desires. After that the client is invited to lay down and completely relax, while the practitioner starts out with a variety of sound healing instruments. During the session the practitioner might put the Himalayan singing bowls on and or around your body and play them. They might also use nice-smelling oils to help you relax even more. The whole experience usually takes about an hour.
After the session, many people say they:
-
Feel very relaxed
-
Can think more clearly
Have more energy
-
Feel less pain if they were hurting before
-
Sleep better at night
