A timeless and therapeutic instrument

Varieties of tibetan singing bowls
7-Metal Singing Bowl
Crafted from gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead, and mercury, each metal represents a celestial body or element. Their combined sound is deep and rich—ideal for chakra alignment, rituals, and meditation.
Note: Many bowls sold as “7-metal” do not actually contain all seven. Genuine antique bowls still exist, but they are rare and expensive.
Gold – The Sun
Silver – The Moon
Copper – Venus
Iron – Mars
Tin – Jupiter
Lead – Saturn
Mercury – Mercury
Full moon singing bowl
This bowl is hand-hammered only on nights of the full moon. It is said to carry lunar energy, which influences the depth of its sound and allows the note to resonate longer. This lunar power helps release emotions more deeply.
Caution: Many sellers misuse the term. The price of the bowl is often an indicator of authenticity, but above all, trust the sound.
Therapeutic singing bowl
These hand-hammered singing bowls vary in size and tone. They are ideal for sound massage and energy healing. Their vibrations slow down your nervous system and brain waves, allowing you to relax both mentally and physically.
Before purchasing, always test the bowl. Check its tone, the continuity of its vibrations, and ensure there are no cracks. Trust your intuition to choose the bowl that feels right for you.
For a therapeutic bowl, the composition is not the most important factor. Most modern bowls are no longer made of seven metals, they are now primarily crafted from bronze, blended with small amounts of other metals.
