Tibetan Singing Bowl for the Throat Chakra

Discover how singing bowls became healing instruments in the West

Since the 1960s and 1970s, singing bowls have gradually grown in popularity and eventually spread throughout the Western world. Some trace this interest back to Nancy Hennings and Henry Wolff’s 1972 album “Tibetan Bells,” which features several Tibetan metal bowls and offers listeners soothing, folk-inspired compositions. As Western audiences became curious about this sound instrument, they noticed that some Tibetan and Nepalese practitioners used it as a therapeutic or healing tool, especially for meditation and chakra balancing. Several decades later, these percussion instruments are firmly established in Europe and the Americas, particularly in wellness studios and among sound therapy practitioners. Discover the singing bowl and all its benefits for yourself.

The Tibetan bowl: a sacred instrument for balancing the chakras and spiritual healing

In Vajrayāna Buddhism, or Tantric Buddhism, the Tibetan singing bowl is considered a sacred object, used for centuries to balance the chakras. Many also attribute spiritual healing properties to it. Originally made from a metal alloy, a 2021 study by Oguy et al. shows that Tibetan bowls used in vibroacoustic massage can reduce depression and anxiety. This may be part of what led earlier practitioners to speak of “spiritual healing.” In any case, purifying negative energy and harmonising the body’s energy centres is one of the valued benefits of this Asian percussion instrument. Experience it for yourself and let its soothing vibrations guide you towards perfect balance.

Enjoy the sound quality of Tibetan crystal bowls

Tibetan crystal singing bowls have been crafted from pure quartz since the early 1980s. This material, drawn from deep within the earth, is prized for the quality of its vibrations and the rich harmonics it produces when struck or played with a mallet. That’s why it was chosen to make these instruments, along with its popularity in crystal healing practices. According to a study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine in 2013, the vibrations of Tibetan bowls can support focus and ease muscle tension. Although the exact reason for these effects remains unclear, some believe it comes from the instrument’s unique composition. It’s no wonder many meditation and yoga teachers swear by quartz crystal singing bowls. Try a new way to unwind—order this model now.

Nestled in their temples high in the Himalayan mountains, Tibetan and Nepalese Buddhist monks regularly use singing bowls to restore the body’s energy balance through the chakras.
