The Amazing Benefits of Antique Tibetan Singing Bowls

Singing Bowls have a tradition that goes back as far as 2500 years. They were first introduced into Tibet from India, some 1100 years ago, during the time that Buddhism was first brought there. The bowls produce a naturally relaxing tone that is an ideal assistance to meditation practice. The resonance causes the listener to easily drift into a calm, relaxed, meditative state. Users of Tibetan Singing Bowls describe the effects of listening to these sounds as creating a centered feeling. It is also believed that the resonant sounds produced by the bowls have a beneficial, healing effect. For these reasons, Tibetan Singing Bowls are considered a form of energy medicine and are found all over the world at the alters of Buddhist monasteries. The bowls are played with a range of techniques ranging from rubbing the fingers along the bowl to using a wooden stick. They are also sometimes played with water added into the bowl.

Why Is It Important That Your Singing Bowl Is An Authentic Antique?: 

While new singing bowls are certainly available it is generally agreed that Antique Tibetan Singing Bowls are far superior. New bowls lack the lineage of the antique variety, but beyond that, antique bows are considered to mellow and improve with time. The sounds produced by antique bowls are simply better at helping the user in achieving that ideal meditative state. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for. In the case of Tibetan Singing Bowls, the higher cost of purchasing the authentic, antique pieces is well worth it.
