The Magick Moon  Singing Bowls
 Singing bowls are one of the ancient Tibetan meditation tools. The pure sounds produced when the rim is rubbed by the mallet is said to put the brain into a meditative state. The sounds made by singing bowls have the same wavelength as the brainwaves that produce feelings of relaxation. We carry a wide variety of singing bowls from Budha Relief, and Etched Bronze to Hand Hammered, and Mantra Relief starting at $29.95. How To Play A Singing Bowl: There are two basic ways of playing a singing bowl: you can either strike it with the wooden striker like a bell for pulsating tones; or you can rub around the edge for a sustained effect (in a way similar to that of rubbing a finger around the edge of a wine glass). With wooden strikers, the basic rule is the larger the bowl, the larger the striker. Resting the bowl upon the palm of your hand will usually give you to better experience than placing the bowl on a cushion on a tabletop when using the wooden striker. Using the wand and by just resting the bowl in the palm of the hand, the lower sounds will be accentuated. Dampening the bowl by bringing your fingers up lightly around the bowl will decrease the lower sounds and accentuate the higher tones, however, too high up and the sound stops! The pressure that you use to apply the wooden striker onto the rim of the bowl will affect the sounds the bowl produces, as will the speed which it travels around the bowls edge. It is also true that the wood from which the striker is made makes a tremendous difference to the sound produced by the bowl. Be careful when playing y0our singing bowl as too much or too little pressure, or rubbing the striker around the upper rim at the wrong speed may result in a rattling sound.
