Hand-hammered singing bowl in a warm antique brass-gold tone, with a deep, rounded form and softly textured surface. Tibetan tradition treats its sustained vibration as a way to settle the mind and mark the opening or close of a ritual. Tap the rim with the wooden mallet, or circle it slowly to build a fuller resonance.

Details
  • Design: Deep, rounded bowl in a warm antique brass-gold tone with a hand-worked, softly hammered surface. Plain, unadorned profile, paired with a wooden mallet capped in a padded striking end
  • Size: 8 x 8 x 4 inches, approximately 2 lbs. 7 oz.
  • Material: Traditional metal alloy (bell metal), with a wooden striker
  • Care: Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth and keep away from moisture to preserve both finish and tone
  • Included: Singing bowl, wooden mallet with padded grip, and brocade cushion
  • Origin: Handmade by Tibetan artisans in Nepal
  • Note: Slight variations in metal finish, size, and weight are natural and give every bowl its own character
Meaning & Intention

The singing bowl descends from a Himalayan tradition where sound itself is treated as a form of practice. Struck or circled with its mallet, it produces a sustained, layered vibration long used to mark the boundaries of a ritual or return attention to the present moment.

In Tibetan Buddhist and Himalayan folk practice, its tone is often described as a physical echo of the mind quieting itself: the sound rises, blooms, and slowly fades, mirroring the way thoughts can arise and dissolve without being chased.

A deep, large bowl like this one produces a lower, fuller resonance, which many associate with grounding and balance.

Essence & Elements

Intention: Peace, calm, balance, grounding

Chakra connection: Root chakra (Muladhara) — its deep, low tone is often used for grounding

Ideal for: Meditators, yoga practitioners, and anyone building a practice around sound and stillness

Suggested mantra: Let the sound settle you

Questions & Guidance

How do I play a Tibetan singing bowl?

Tap the mallet gently against the outer rim to start a tone, then hold the mallet against the rim and slowly circle it to sustain and build the sound.

What size room or practice is this bowl best suited for?

At 8 inches across, it produces a full, resonant tone well suited to a dedicated meditation corner, yoga studio, or home altar.

When in a session should I sound the bowl?

Many practitioners use a few slow circuits of the mallet at the start of meditation to signal stillness, and again at the close to shift back into the day.

Too big

The boxes were much bigger than I thought they would be and seemed to be lacking in the quality I'm used to seeing in your products. I have returned both boxes via UPS and am awaiting my refund.

Understated design, well made

I wanted a simple reminder to take a moment to breathe throughout the day. This ring tells me to do just that. It's solid stainless steel, so it's durable. The embossing (engraving?) is clear and consistent from one letter to the next.
