What are Himalayan singing bowls?

A Himalayan bowl is a metal bowl that makes a long, clear tone when struck or circled with a mallet. They are also called Tibetan singing bowls, and they are used in meditation, prayer and sound practice. Our bowls are handmade in Nepal; read how Himalayan singing bowls are made, or start with our singing bowl guide.

Healing bowls and sound healing

Many people use a healing bowl for sound healing, relaxation and meditation. The steady tone helps some people slow down and focus. Singing bowls are not a medical treatment. For the link with energy centers, read our guide to singing bowls and chakra healing.

Small and mini singing bowls

Small singing bowls are easy to hold, play and travel with. Smaller handmade bowls usually give a higher, lighter tone, and larger bowls a deeper one. Check the diameter and weight on each product page.

Engraved, Full Moon and gold singing bowls

How to play your bowl

2. Strike the outer side gently with the mallet and let the sound fade.
3. For a continuous tone, press the mallet to the outer rim and move it slowly in circles.
