The singing bowls have been one of the significant souvenirs to take from Nepal. One might be surprised by the name, but to make things clear they definitely do not sing. The bowl is either struck on or rubbed around its rim to produce sound. In eastern culture, people have been using sound therapy since the ancient ages in order to heal the body of an individual.

The vibration produced by the bowl is supposed to activate the different energy points or chakras in the human body. It takes a certain level of practice in order to use these bowls as therapy. It takes a certain amount of time and dedication to learn this art of healing.

To the western culture, it might sound like fantasy when they hear the word chakras and healing. Even modern science backs up the fact that the creation itself is just a consequence of energy vibrating at a variety of frequencies. Sound therapy or healing uses a special type of bowl that is handmade. The bowl is supposed to be made during the fool moon night so these bowls are also called Full Moon Bowls. These bowls come in different sizes and types.

These bowls are basically made with a special type of alloy that consists of different metals. A traditional genuine handmade “Full moon Singing bowl” is supposed t have the right proportions of gold, silver, iron, copper, iron, tin, and lead. The bowl is made so that the sound produced can be used in meditation and healing practices.

But due to the competitive nature of the modern day commerce there are wide variety of bowls found in the market. Most of them are machine made. Using the machine to mass produce these bowls is common nowadays. These bowls are the typical type for the souvenir without the healing quality. If you are looking for comparatively cheap quality bowls then these are the one you should be going after. These bowls will produce sound which is shorter in the duration compared to the healing bowl. If you are looking for a genuine healing bowl it will cost you a little bit more from your pocket.

Even the modern science has come in terms with the fact that the creation itself is based on sound and vibration. But in the eastern philosophy it was known from ancient times. The culture is solely based on this principle. When we talk about chakras and sounds, for a western educated mind it sounds like a pseudo-science.
