BENEFITS
Sound Healing 
Use your bowls as tool to create beautiful sonic spaces for stress and anxiety management, cortisol control, nervous system recovery/reset, and deep relaxation. 
 
Vibrational Healing
Your bowls can be used on body to apply vibration and frequency topically for therapeutic purposes. Experiment on yourself or explore our training courses and online workshops to get started with the necessary science and skills. 
 
Chakra Balancing
In the Himalayan tradition, each chakra (energy centre) in the human body has a corresponding note and frequency. Utilising these bowls specifically on certain chakras can support harmonisation, balance and clarity as part of a holistic approach to sound and bodywork.
 
Brainwave Entrainment
Sound is a powerful non-invasive tool for manipulating brainwaves. Research shows that Himalayan bowls are an excellent way to bring the brain into Alpha brainwave states which support deep meditation, focus, cognitive performance and emotional clarity.

Uplifting, expansive, outward energy
 
D Minor (D - E - F - G - A - Bb - C) - Third Octave

MATERIALS
Whilst it is true that many metal singing bowls are indeed made of seven metals, this is truly not a desirable composition in sonic terms! In the Vedic and Himalayan tradition, the seven original planets (seen by the naked eye from Earth) are represented in material/alchemical form by seven metals:
 
Sun - Gold, representing perfecting and light
Moon - Silver, representing intuition and the subconscious
Mercury - Mercury, representing the mind and adaptability
Venus - Copper, representing beauty and balance
Mars - Iron, representing strength and willpower
Jupiter - Tin, representing expansion and wisdom
Saturn - Lead, representing structure and discipline
 
However, both mercury and lead have absolutely no resonance whatsoever and additionally are highly toxic to humans! Gold and silver are actually very soft metals that do not audibly resonate. So in fact, for the highest sonic integrity, expertly crafted singing bowls should ideally be made primarily of bell metal bronze - an alloy of around 78-80% copper and 20-22% tin, which together create a magical mix of elasticity and hardness that sustains sound. The perfect recipe is the generational secret of the artisans and is being expanded upon by the rising creatives increasingly bringing more metallurgical and musical intelligence to singing bowl production.
 
Whilst many bowls on the market do include all 7 metals in trace format, our classic bowls have been selected from the perspective of sonic excellence, and therefore are a pure Bell Metal Bronze, and do not include trace of other metals that would reduce their resonance.
 
We DO stock other bowls that do include more of the seven metal alloy, but the best makers in the world right now also agree that these are not required or desirable elements and so do not include them all.
