Character of the 22 cm singing bowl
Among singing bowls this piece represents the medium size: a 22 cm diameter already produces a deep bass note, yet it still fits comfortably in front of you on a table. The disc is shaped from an metal alloy, which means that every single bowl arrives with a unique surface and small hand-marks that prove its artisan origin. For you this means you are not receiving a mass-produced decoration but an instrument that touches your ear and your body.
Meaning of the Flower of Life motif on this bowl
The Flower of Life symbol already appeared on the walls of ancient Egyptian temples and remains a beloved pattern today. The six interlocking circles speak about harmony, natural order and gentle calm. When you hold the bowl in your palm and play it, the pattern gently vibrates along the rim and you experience a combined rest for the eye and the ear. Many customers reach for it during a short morning meditation, a midday reset or a quiet evening wind-down.
How to play the bowl at home, step by step
You need no previous experience to play this bowl at home. Place it on your left palm with your fingers gently open. Hold the included striker like a pencil and slowly circle the outer rim of the bowl. Within a few seconds the continuous singing tone is born. For short, soft strikes start with a light tap on the rim and let the note fade by itself.
Sound-therapy meditation in five practical steps
During a meditation, sit comfortably with a straight back. Take three slow, deep breaths, then begin to play the bowl. Notice how the vibration travels through your palm, your arm and your chest. Many users report softer muscle tension and slower thoughts after a few minutes. In a bathroom you can even play it half-filled with water, because the water turns the vibration into a visible wave pattern on the surface.
Cleaning, storage and long-term care of the bowl
Care is simple. After use, wipe the surface with a soft cotton cloth. Store the bowl in a dry place, ideally on textile or on a folded soft cloth. If the surface becomes dull, lukewarm water and a soft brush will refresh it without any harsh chemicals. Keep the striker right next to the bowl, so it is always within reach when you need a few minutes of relaxation. This piece will keep its character for years and you will grow truly fond of its deep, steady voice.
