Tibetan singing bowls are traditional instruments used in meditation and music therapy. The bowls are made of metal and have a distinctive round shape with a protruding center and a rim that widens slightly.
When playing, the bowl is held with one hand and a mallet is used with the other hand, gently striking the edge of the bowl. This creates sound vibrations that have a therapeutic effect on the body and mind. The sound of Tibetan bowls is also used to stimulate chakras and energies in the body.
Tibetan bowls are considered an important part of traditional Tibetan culture and are increasingly being used in modern Western music therapy.
