Cultures around the world have always held a dialogue with sounds that links the physical, emotional and spiritual world. In Tibetan philosophy, sound is to the body like dreams are to the soul; it has the power to transform us. Sound and musical instruments are an integral part of the rituals and practices of Buddhist meditation as a way to silence the mind and invoke the divine.

TIBETAN SINGING BOWLS
Tibetan Singing Bowls vibrate the sound of the universe. The singing bowl is essentially a heart-oriented experience. They can vibrate five individual and simultaneous tones, each at its own consistent frequency and can sustain these vibrations. It is believed that each part of our body has a natural resonance that responds to different sounds and their vibrations. Made of several metals, each holds a unique gift in its tone. Sound has been used throughout history as a way of balancing the inner and outer world. The highest lamas used singing bowls to travel to other realms and dimensions. They are still placed today as offerings on alters in monasteries and healers use them today around the world to tone and balance energy fields. The act of listening to the Sound of the singing bowls stops one’s internal dialogue; the intellectual centre is suspended and the feeling centre is activated, thus making the bowls an excellent tool for meditation,
centreing and trance induction.
Singing Bowl sticks and Stands are available for an additional A$6 each.
