The Himalayan Singing Bowls I utilize are made by the Nepali Shakya Clans who have been making them for generations. The makers infuse the bowls with love and positive energy by chanting traditional mantras as they hand hammer the bowls. Each strike of their hammer holds their spiritual intention as they shape the bowls. Infusing the positive intention while making the singing bowls gives the bowls a special energetic resonance that retains a part of the Nepali Shakya Clan tradition.

Why are they called “singing bowls”? The bowls produce multi-phonic and poly-harmonic overtones which are unique, subtle, and complex. The ability to produce multiple notes and sounds is a result of the bowl’s seven alloy property, where each metal produces its unique overtone.

The bowls create sounds that are both captivating and calming and are frequently used as an aid in meditation. Hand hammered bowls create a special vibration when struck or strummed that can help bring the brain into an Alpha or Theta state. (Theta waves occur during REM sleep, hypnosis, and deep meditation). Some people describe the experience as having had an energetic massage.
