How to Use Singing Bowls: Extra Large, Large, Medium & Small
Singing bowls are powerful tools for meditation, relaxation, and sound healing. Each size offers its own unique resonance and purpose, from deep grounding vibrations to gentle, personal meditations. Below is a guide to help you connect with your bowl and get the most out of your practice.
Extra Large Bowls
Designed for profound resonance and full-body sound therapy.
Chest Placement: Place the bowl gently on your chest as you lie down before sleep or meditation. The deep tones flow through the entire body, creating balance and harmony.
Floor Resonance: Position the bowl on the floor in front of you or beside your mat during a session. Playing the bowl here fills the space with grounding vibrations.
Immersive Healing: Use in group sound baths or personal deep-healing sessions - the powerful resonance is ideal for shifting energy on a large scale.
Tip: Refer to our How-To Guide for safe practices, as the weight and vibration of extra large bowls require careful handling.
Large Bowls
Created for strong resonance with a slightly more intimate focus than extra large.
Chest Meditation: Rest the bowl on your chest before sleep or meditation to encourage a state of deep calm and open-hearted connection.
Head Meditation: Turn the bowl upside down and place it gently over the crown of the head. Close your eyes and allow the sound vibrations to wash through your mind for clarity and stillness.
Space Clearing: Use the bowl during rituals or meditation to release stagnant energy and uplift the atmosphere of your room.
Medium Bowls
Balanced and versatile, perfect for personal meditation and energy work.
Chest Placement: Place the bowl on your chest to feel its resonant tones flowing through your body.
Palm Holding: Hold the bowl in the palm of your hand and play it with the mallet to create vibrations for self-reflection and grounding.
Body Placement: Position the bowl on areas such as your stomach, back, or thighs to direct healing vibrations where you need them most.
Meditation Support: Ideal to accompany breathing practices, journaling, or intention-setting rituals.
Small Bowls
Delicate and intimate, perfect for everyday mindfulness practices.
Palm Meditation: Rest the bowl in your palm and gently play it during meditation, prayer, or quiet reflection.
Desk or Altar Use: Keep your small bowl nearby during work, study, or spiritual rituals. A short strike can help you reset, focus, or mark the beginning and end of a practice.
Travel-Friendly: Their light size makes them easy to take with you - perfect for meditation on the go.
Finding the Right Bowl for You
Every bowl has its own voice and purpose. Extra large and large bowls are designed to immerse you in powerful, resonant vibrations, while medium and small bowls provide a more personal, gentle experience. Together, they create a complete toolkit for sound healing, meditation, and energy balance.
