Inscribed Singing BowlPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 5909250

SKU# 5909250

Harmonious sound, harmonious design. This handcrafted copper singing bowl has “om mane padme hum” inscribed around the outside. This can be translated, “The more you go inside, the better you will be able to gain enlightenment.” The singing bowl also has the thunderbolt auspicious symbol on the bottom, a sign of good luck. The handmade paper box features a floral patterned lid and has three compartments inside, for the bowl, wooden singing stick and pillow stand.

This bowl is produced by sand casting: Sand and clay are filled in a mold with a die. Materials are melted and poured into the mold. The cooled bowl is placed on a spinning machine to chip off rough edges, shape the bowl to size and polish it. If fine polishing is needed, the artisan grinds the bowl and polishes it.

Often used for meditation, the music of a singing bowl is meant to soothe your soul, cleanse your heart and free your mind of worries. To make the bowl sing, first tap it. Firmly hold the smooth part of the stick upright against the bowl and move it slowly around the outside of the bowl in a circular motion keeping firm contact with the bowl’s surface. The bowl will start to resonate.
