Singing Bowls

Singing bowls have been used for around 5,000 years, first recorded by the Sumerians in modern-day Iraq. They used different metals to produce sounds that resonated with the human body. Eventually, singing bowls made their way to India and Nepal around the same time as Yoga was discovered. In these regions, practitioners matched the vibrations of the bowls to the body's Chakras to create a balanced, healing effect. The metals used, such as copper, zinc, gold, silver, lead, tin, and iron, corresponded to the earth elements of the Chakras. Over time, metal combinations produced higher vibrations.

Crystal singing bowls began to appear in the 1980s, and with technological advancements, their popularity has surged. These bowls can be fine-tuned to specific notes that enhance the body's healing. Common healing frequencies used in sound healing classes, yoga, and meditation include 174 Hz, which alleviates stress, and 432 Hz, which improves mental clarity and promotes calmness.
