Playing Singing Bowls

When it comes to benefits of playing singing bowls, there is a long list to go through. But the major and most common ones are likely for healing, for meditation, and as musical instruments as well. These kinds of bowls are basically the ones that you can get for your home in you meditation room. I tis used in yoga class as well, and also for concerts. Learning how to play with these singing bowls may seem so easy, since it is rather simple to use, but then again, getting it to its perfect pitch is something that takes a longer time to practice. Either way, it is very important that you at least know how to use it before you buy one. Below are some tips on how you can perfect that sweet sound of the singing bowl:

 

First of all, it is very important that you find just the right environment for playing your bowls. Try to learn further on this in the site at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZV1ek0yKTU for added references. This means that you have to find a calming environment where you can be alone and one with nature and at the same time keep your body to a comfortable level as well. It is very important that you are sitting at a comfortable position, which means that you should either use a soft pillow to sit on, or a comfortable chair. By closing your eyes and taking it all in, you will then prepare yourself in playing the bowl.

 

Holding the bowl from www.silverskyimports.com/ may seem easy, but then you have to be fairly certain that you don't drop it and nor would you hold it in an uncomfortable position for it to fall in between playing it. This means that hold it in front of you, on your palm. Most commonly, people would mistake this step by putting the bowl just on their fingers, which will make it pretty uncomfortable later on. Plus, it is more secured and supported if you hold it on your palm.

 

Now that you are in the right position, it's time that you strike the bowl from this website gently with the mallet that comes with it. It is important that you strike the bowl at the rims and at the sides of it, not at the bottom. The striking that you do is what starts the sound, but continuing its resonance by gently striking the rims on a continuous motion would what makes the resonance stronger and more continuous as well.
