History of Singing Bowls
The Tibetan Singing Bowl is one of the most useful instruments. They are called as “resting bells”, “resting gongs”, “Tibetan singing bowls”, “meditation bowls”, “sound bowls”, “Tibetan bowls”, “Himalayan singing bowls”, Tibetan healing bowls”, “sound bowl”, “Tibetan sound bowls”, “Buddhist singing bowls”, “Tibetan bells”, “prayer bowls”, or simply “healing bowls”.
Singing Bowls are native to India, Tibet & Himalayan region. Singing Bowls have been in use in Great Vedic Civilization, Buddhist culture & Spirituality, Himalayas culture for centuries.
The first singing bowls were said to be made in Mesopotamia over 5,000 years ago. As such, singing bowls are believed to be one of the most ancient artisan crafts in human history.
According to Tibetan oral traditions, the existence of Singing Bowls dates back to 560-480 B.C.; the tradition was brought back from INDIA to TIBET, along with the teaching of Buddha by some great “Tantric” masters in the Tibetan region.
The very first singing bowls were said to be made of pure copper and produced for both medicinal and musical purposes. They were produced primarily inside the homes of the artisans. Knowledge about the metalwork was passed on from generation to generation, although eventually this knowledge chain was broken. Sometime later, singing bowls began to be made of brass, which is a combination of various earth metals, including copper. Some anecdotal references say that 2,000-year old brass singing bowls appeared in a Chinese region called Tibet at the dawn of the last century.
There is a slight variation depending on the information sources on what materials the bowls are made of; some sources mention metals corresponding to the 7 planets – gold (Sun), silver (Moon), mercury (Mercury), copper (Venus), iron (Mars), tin (Jupiter) and antimony (Saturn); others note nickel and zinc. Typically there are 3 kinds, contemporary, old and antique bowls. Good quality bowls are hand hammered, different wall thicknesses and sizes typically produce a variety of tones and harmonics. Each bowl has its own characteristics and wants to be explored.
How Singing Bowls Work: The Science of Singing Bowl
The basic element of human body is cell and through cells all the communication process occurs in human body. As we all know that human body is made 70%of water and when singing bowls is placed in human body and played then the sound and vibration from the singing bowls transmits to the entire human body through the cells in relaxing way. In this process many cells receives gentle massage and we feel healed &relaxed.
Sound therapy uses specific frequencies of sound waves to affect the brain and nervous system. When we experience stress, illness, injury, or emotional trauma, our subtle body becomes depleted of vital life force energy. Our immune system weakens, making us susceptible to disease. We lose our ability to heal ourselves naturally. Through Sound healing therapy the life force energy is enhanced and harmonize our mind, body & soul energy.
Two studies, one done by Octávio Inácio et al. called “The Dynamics of Tibetan Singing Bowls,” and another by Denis Terwage and John Bush called “Tibetan Singing Bowls,” have studied just that. These groups observed singing bowls filled with water being played with slow motion video and sound recording. In turn, their studies were summarized in a BBC article by Jason Palmer.
They found that as the singing bowl is played, the rim begins to change shape, switching back and forth between slightly oval shapes. The energy of the bowl transfers to the water. The energy charged water creates waves, which create droplets of water that bounce and skip on the surface. This phenomenon is known as Faraday waves.
The addition of water often lowers and creates a deeper, longer-lasting resonance. Incorporating water filled singing bowls can create additional tones used for meditation or sound therapy, but it can also be an example of an interesting science experiment. How singing bowls work is based on scientific studies and physics.
