Sound Healing

A practice that uses sound, like a singing bowl's long note or a chime in the breeze, to help you slow down and pay attention. Think of it as a relaxation habit. Most people start with one bowl and a few quiet minutes.

The one you'll repeat. Striking a bowl and listening until the note fades is the simplest start. Running the mallet around the rim makes a longer tone for meditation, and a wind chime by a window keeps it going.

Our metal bowls are copper, small enough to hold, with a warm, layered tone. The Flower of Life Crystal Singing Bowl is quartz, eight inches across, with a clear, pure note. Metal is where most people start.

The Tibetan Meditation Singing Bowl at $48.97. It's copper, 3.2 inches across, and comes with a mallet and a cushion, so it's ready to play out of the box. Customers rate it 4.8 out of 5.

Many people hang one for exactly that, and the soft sound on a breezy afternoon is its own small lift. Hang it by a window or on a balcony where air moves. The 11 chimes here start with the Sunny Days Wind Chime at $44.97.
