Sound and experience
A larger singing bowl usually sounds deeper and rings longer than smaller ones: the tone of this 18 cm bowl is full and sustains for a long time. The exact sound may vary slightly from bowl to bowl. Many people use this deep, long-ringing tone for rest, quiet reflection and meditation.
Usage
Place the bowl on a dedicated cushion or soft mat, then gently touch the rim with a felt or leather covered mallet. For the clearest tone, move the mallet slowly around the rim. If you wish, you can also place the bowl on different parts of the body, so that you feel its vibration as well as hear its sound.
Why this size suits your home
The 18 cm diameter is an excellent pick if you want a single bowl that can fill a spacious room or serve a small group. It is large enough to sound deep tones yet still easy to move and store. The black patinated finish is elegant and enduring, blending well into any meditation corner.
Tips for use
Store the bowl on a soft cloth, protected from dust. Clean with a dry or lightly damp cloth, no chemicals. Using the bowl for a few minutes weekly helps you tune into its vibration and deepens your experience each time.
