Singing Bowl Enlightenment - Nepal

Inscription is translated, “The more you go inside, the better you will be able to gain enlightenment.” Often used for meditation, the music of a singing bowl is meant to soothe your soul, cleanse your heart and free your mind of worries. To make the bowl sing, first tap it. Firmly hold the smooth part of the stick upright against the bowl and move it slowly around the outside of the bowl in a circular motion keeping firm contact with the bowl’s surface.
