How do vibrating bowls work?
One of the first questions you might ask yourself when you want to start playing your own singing bowl is how to choose one. According to Reiki Master and Sound Healer Susy Schieffelin, these bowls are popular in sound healing because their unique vibrations have the ability to shift energy, release blockages, and bring mind, body, and spirit back into balance. She explains that other instruments (and even singing and chanting) are used in sound healing to produce healing frequencies that can be relaxing and restorative. As explained by Science Made Simple UK, the friction caused by either rubbing or hitting a singing bowl creates vibrations. Finally, Schieffelin notes that singing bowls provide a new sense of well-being, happiness and peace and can promote a sense of lightness and inner peace.
