Tibetan Silver Singing Bowls

Have you ever heard a silver bowl sing? Well, it actually rings more than it sings, but nevertheless, it's still a great novelty item. While Tibetan singing bowls are mainly used for meditation purposes, some yoga practitioners have found its calming properties to be helpful in their practices. On another level, singing bowls can also be used for stress theraphy. Let's see how it works.

You come home from another busy day at the office. The children are running around like the house is actually a zoo. As your wife is preparing dinner, she reminds you that there are some bills to be settled, flashing a wanton smile. The TV is broken and the car needs repair. You feel like you are chained to a big iron ball, and worse, you are sinking. Then, you retreat into your study and see a present on your desk. You open the box to find a strange silver bowl with a beautifully crafted wooden striker. Inside the bowl, there is a small note with the words "Strike It!" Curious, you take the striker and hit the silver bowl with a half-hearted blow. It sings... Intrigued, you strike again, this time with more determination. The silver bowl vibrates, singing louder, and more beautifully. For a moment, the world evaporates, and you feel at peace. That's the song of the Tibetan singing bowl.

Though the Tibetan silver singing bowls appear silvery, they are not made of silver. Seven metals are used to construct these bowls, including brass and copper. Hollow and elongated, the bowls are decorated with Buddhist symbols, most apparently, the two fishes which represent abundance, fertility, and happiness. The size of the bowls range from 3.5 inches up to 10 inches in diameter. Inside one of the 10 inch Tibetan silver singing bowl is the image of the Buddha. All the bowls come with wooden stands. Normally, the stirkers are made of wood but there are also strikers wrapped with leather, for a more muted singing effect.

Since Buddhist teachings are centered on peace of mind, these Tibetan silver singing bowls are extraordinary items which can be used to help relieve stress. It's a simple technology, but highly effective. Just don't try to sell the bowl to a silver buyer! Otherwise, you can sell silver today to receive generous instant cash for silver!
