Ah, the bowls...

Tibetan Bowls create vibrational energy that can be useful in alternative therapies. The bowls themselves come in various sizes. Made from a combination of about 7 metals, they look to be created in the hammer method of metalworking. When you strike one of them they create a vibrational tone. Each one is designed at a different pitch or note that is meant to correspond to the different chakras of a person's body.


We experimented by striking them inside and outside of the bowl, holding them, not holding them, and using different strikers. The picture above is of me with my head in one of the bowls. I've discovered that I am a bit sound sensitive and have a hard time tolerating the bowls near my head.
