Choosing a singing bowl for home use is a very responsible process. Don't grab the first tool you come across. It may turn out to be of poor quality, and therefore will not bring the desired benefits and will not have a beneficial effect.
Singing bowls are unusual instruments belonging to the category of bells that have been popular in Eastern countries since time immemorial. In everyday life, they could perform the function of ordinary dishes, but more often bowls were used for meditation and spiritual practices, which is still common today. Singing bowls emit inimitable sounds that vibrate in space. With the help of such a sound effect, premises can be cleaned. Singing bowls are used in massage, their sound affects the mental state, has a positive effect on the energy of a person. However, to really benefit from this tool, you need to choose the right one.
The main criteria for choosing a tool
Before purchasing a singing bowl, you need to ask yourself what this instrument is for at all. Now bowls are produced in two types: "workers" and souvenir. "Workers" are author's singing bowls, which are expensive, but at the same time have a powerful effect on the space around, on the person himself. Souvenir singing bowls can be purchased at a fairly low price. However, pure sound from them will be impossible to achieve. Such tools are unlikely to be able to harmonize the atmosphere in the house or have a beneficial effect on energy flows in the body.
It is not recommended to choose and buy a home bell from online stores. Because the singing bowl requires that the future owner hold it in his hands, feel some connection with it and test it for sound. However, this point does not apply to souvenir products and those online stores that provide an opportunity to test the functionality of the selected tool before paying.
The sound of a good "working" singing bowl should be clear and pleasant, any rattling or hum is simply unacceptable. During testing, there should be no rejection to the instrument, to the vibrations that it emits. The sound from a high-quality and professional bowl can still be heard in space for some time after the completion of the test. Singing bowls with dense walls have a more monotonous and even sound. A sonorous and varied sound comes from thin bowls.
The sizes of the singing bowls are different. There are very small models, and there are really big, bulky instruments. They all differ in their weight. It must be remembered that the correct singing bowl, even a small diameter, should not be too light.
An indisputably important point is the material from which the instrument is made. According to the rules, singing bowls are cast from several metals. The composition may include zinc, silver, gold, mercury, etc. The more ingredients in the alloy, the more varied the sound will be. There are also forged singing bowls, but it is very difficult to find them on sale.
If you want to buy a singing bowl with a picture or a mantra printed on its sides, you need to know in advance exactly what the symbols mean. Because this also affects the operation of the instrument and the effect that it has on the atmosphere in the house or on the state of human health.
Even if you are not a professional in sound therapy, you can and should purchase a singing bowl for yourself if your shower requires it. The main thing is to choose it wisely, to give preference to the option to which you are really drawn.
