The Benefits of Singing Bowls and Sound Baths and Sound Healing

Updated: Nov 29, 2022

It is no secret that the outside world can be chaotic. Perhaps you have felt at times overwhelmed and ill-equipped to deal with the pressures of day-to-day life.


Trust - You're not alone.


It is important to know that there are many ways to decompress while creating a safe space and inner sanctuary from the harshness that life and stress can oftentimes bring.


Singing Bowls and Sound Baths have been proven over and over again to assist with stress relief as well as anxiety, depression, unhealed trauma and emotional healing.






Introduction to Singing Bowls


Singing bowls have their origins in India dating back to at least 2000 B.C. Although there isn’t a lot of written history to trace the origin of this ancient art, fortunately, there is a rich tradition of oral history that tells us that the bowls came to Tibet and Nepal from India at the same time that Buddhism was introduced by the great Buddhist master, Padmasambhava. Therefore, the history of the Himalayan singing bowls goes back to the 8th century A.D.


The craftsmanship of the Himalayan singing bowls has been handed down from generation to generation within a clan or caste. Today, craftsman in the Kathmandu Valley work to revive the ancient techniques for making these bowls. Each family and region of Nepal will produce different styles of bowls that will create a very distinctive sound and vibration, which have an affect on various parts of our bodies (i.e. the heart chakra for emotional healing or the throat charka for speaking ones truth or the sacral chakra for courage and intuition.)


Traditionally each bowl is made out of seven metals which would include gold, silver, iron, tin, copper mercury and lead. The ingot is a disk that is about 2 inches thick and about a third or forth the size of the finished bowl. The ingot is pounded flat and then pounded into its shape. When they are pounding the bowl into shape they are chanting sacred prayers and mantras, infusing healing intentions into each bowl.


To put all of this into perspective, the smallest handmade bowls which are about 4 inches in diameter take approximately 4 hours to complete with 4 people.


Whereas, the 12 inch bowls take around 20 hours to complete. And the largest bowls that you can stand in take hundreds of hours to complete ( can you image the intense acceleration of the healing you'll experience standing inside of a healing vortex, if-you-will, of a singing bowl? We most certainly can!

Quantum science has now proven that everything in the universe is a vibration, from plants to stones to human beings, we are all vibrating at specific frequencies. Even our thoughts, speech and intentions construct the world around us. Dr. Emoto was an amazing scientist from Japan that did research on infusing water with thoughts, speech and intentions.



"The words themselves actually emit a unique vibration that the water is sensing. When water is shown a written word, it receives it as vibration, and expresses the message in a specific form, like a visual code for expressing words. Water exposed to the words," Thank you" formed beautiful geometric crystals, no matter what the language. But water exposed to, "...you fool" and other degrading words resulted in obviously broken and deformed crystals. When a complete geometric crystal is formed, water is in alignment with nature and the phenomena we call life. The words, gratitude and love, form the fundamental principles of the laws of nature and the phenomenon of life." -- Dr. Emoto

Dr. Emoto proved exposing the water to both negative and positive thoughts, speech and intentions and flash froze the water. When anything positive was infused with the water it would become translucent and would make beautiful geometric patterns in the water. Anything negative infused in the water would make it opaque and create patterns that were not geometric.



The main thing to remember here is that we all have a signature health vibration that effects our mind, body and soul. When negative energies reside within us, it restricts us from our ability in reaching our fullest state of being.
