Singing bowls

Can be used during meditation

Singing bowls are bowls used to promote relaxation. They produce sounds and vibrations when hit or circled with a mallet. Those sounds and vibrations are supposed to help you relax.

During a sound bath, a practitioner will create healing sound vibrations with singing bowls and other instruments created specifically for this type of practice. As a result, you’re ~bathed~ in sound, as well as the energy of the healing vibrations. “The sound waves can help calm your mind, and help you relax and enter a meditative state fairly effortlessly and quickly," says Markoe. "Some of the science behind what takes place during a sound bath is that the healing frequencies of sound entrain with your brainwaves and can effortlessly shift you into brainwave states associated with deep rest, healing, and meditation. All you need to do is lie back, relax, and let the sound vibrations wash over you.”
