Silent Mind Blog — singing bowls

This is a good thing! It means you don’t have to frantically buy everything at once. Enjoy the time in between purchases to revisit your budget, mark purchases off your list, and yes - recentering yourself with your singing bowl. A stress-less strategy always wins.

You can be gritting your teeth and rolling your eyes the entire time, and those otherworldly, resonant tones will still be working on your parasympathetic nervous system. Try a few deep breaths while you play, too.

We’re built to survive negative emotions. It feels intolerable, but you always manage to withstand them, no matter how terrible it feels, because you are resilient. The bad things we’re waiting for seldom happen.   

This may be due to the rise of sound therapy, an increasingly popular practice where singing bowls are the most prized instrument. It’s also intrinsically linked to the West’s growing commitment to mindfulness.
