If you want to start proclaiming that you are at one with your spiritual
self you may want to think about adding a very special Tibetan Singing
Bowl to your collection of Spiritual Trinkets. Though they can add
aesthetic brilliance to your spiritual alter-creating sound from a
Tibetan Singing Bowl can bring you closer to the core of your being.
I have been on a decades long search for ‘my’ Tibetan Singing Bowl
and I feel that it must compel me…whisper my name…call out to me
that it is mine…
Therefore; I have yet to add one to my ever growing collection of
spiritual trinkets. It is possible to access hundreds upon thousands of
incredible Youtube videos, CD’s, online music, ever the archaic cassette
tapes filled with the healing sounds of the Tibetan Singing Bowl.
You may recall a Yoga or Meditation class that you took where the
instructor introduced the class and closed it with her or his bowl.
If you close your eyes tightly enough while you listen to the song of
the Singing Bowl you will be instantly transported to another place
and time…where you are suspended on a hilltop high above the
mountains of Tibet…over looking the most serene and ornate
monastery carved into the shimmering silver rock of the Himalayan
mountains.

Below is an Excerpt from Bodhisattva Trading Company Inc.
According to Tibetan oral tradition, the existence of singing bowls dates back to the time of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni (560 – 480 B.C.). The tradition was brought from India to Tibet, along with the teachings of the Buddha, by the great tantric master Padmasambhava in the 8th century A.D.
Singing bowls produce sounds which invoke a deep state of relaxation which naturally assists one in entering into meditation, the ultimate goal being enlightenment. They are a quintessential aid to meditation, and can be found on private Buddhist altars, and in temples, monasteries and meditation halls throughout the world.
Metallurgical analysis have varied, from a predominantly two metal alloy of copper and tin with trace iron content (Oxford University, UK) to an eight alloy of copper and tin with traces of iron, lead, zinc, gold, silver and mercury (Concordia University, Quebec).
In addition to their traditional usage for meditation, Tibetan singing bowls are used for deep relaxation, stress reduction, holistic healing, Reiki, chakra balancing, and World music. Many people find that the rich blend of harmonic overtones which the bells produce have a direct affect upon their chakras.
Playing the bells usually causes an immediate centering effect. The tones set up a “frequency following response” that creates a balancing left/right brain synchronization. Meditating on the subtle sounds of the Tibetan singing bowl tunes one in to the universal sound within and without.
1. Drinking plenty of no-calorie beverages throughout the day will help knock the need to eat.
2. One or two glasses of cold water before any meal or snack helps the body feel full more quickly. That will create a weaning effect that will teach the brain to be happy with less food again.
3. Drinking at least eight glasses of water a day is ideal, but black coffee or unsweetened herbal tea are low calorie alternatives to sugar-filled soda pop or juice.
4. Eating protein with every meal or snack helps balance glucose levels to keep the chemicals in the brain balanced.
5. Combine that technique with only eating during an eight-hour period every day, and freedom from food addiction will come quickly.
