Singing Bowls

About

Singing bowls have been at the heart of contemplative practice for centuries, their resonant tones earned by a single stroke or the steady orbit of a mallet around the rim. In our collection you'll find a range of handcrafted bowls for meditation in various sizes, finishes and tones: each ready to become part of your daily ritual. What's in the collection The range centres on Tibetan singing bowls in a choice of sizes from 15 centimetres to 27 centimetres, crafted in aluminium, earth powder and other materials. Sizes are listed by diameter, so you can choose a bowl that sits comfortably in your hands or one that fills a room with sound. Colours and designs vary, from the classic Tree of Life motif to Magic Mushroom and Double Dorjy patterns, and finishes range from deep moss greens and blues to warm copper tones. Alongside the bowls, you'll find Tibetan Bells & Tingshas and a curated selection of singing bowl accessories : velvet-wrapped mallets, gong strikers, and a dedicated singing bowl cushion sized for bowls of 12–14 centimetres. Choosing your bowl When selecting a meditation bowl , size is the first practical consideration. Smaller bowls of 15–20 centimetres are well suited to personal practice, cupped in the hands and played close to the body. Larger bowls from 23 centimetres upwards produce a deeper, more room-filling resonance, ideal if you plan to play in shared spaces or use the bowl as a centrepiece in a meditation room. Do check the size of your intended cushion before purchasing: our singing bowl cushion is designed for bowls of 12–14 centimetres, so a larger bowl may need an alternative base. If you're drawn to a particularly loud response, look for bowls marked extra loud. They respond with strong, sustained vibration even with a light stroke. Playing and using your bowl Hold the singing bowl mallet loosely and strike the bowl firmly to begin, then trace it steadily around the outer rim in a clockwise direction to build and sustain the tone.
