General Info
Singing Bowls is a type of bell that is shaped like a bowl. They come in many shapes & sizes and have been made for several centuries.
Created through a exacting & delicate combination of hand – hammered technique & from sacred metals ( primarily Copper & Tin ) and certain other metals in little proportion to enhance the vibration qualities that may include Mercury, Iron, Nickel, Cadmium, Silver, Zinc etc. ) which lend their unique frequency to the vibration of the bowls.
The harmonic sounds created from these bowls aid the meditative process. They are excellent for reducing stress, deep relaxation, Meditation, Chakra Balancing & overall Holistic Healing. They have also found a unique & highly venerated existence among the instruments of world music.
When Singing Bowls are played with the wooden mallet, produce a rich blend of harmonic overtones & these overtones have the direct effect on the Chakras. That awaken a beautiful & powerful mystery. They produce the sacred sound of “AUM”. Their rich sonic vibrations alter space, mind & time.
Long ago the Ayurvedic sage, Charuk, stated that vibration and massage could come together to affect the treatment of many illnesses. He called this synergy “samvahan,” a Sanskrit word describing what the vibrations of the bowls can do.
Samvahan means “re-awakening of tissue.” And indeed that is what the eerily beautiful tones and overtones of the bowls do: they bring new life to stagnated parts, and they reawaken the healing powers within the body. The deep relaxation response defies description; it must be experienced!
How can the sound-vibrations of a singing bowl do all that? Even heal the body?
The human body can be compared to an orchestra, where each organ, tissue, and cell is like a different instrument. Just like in an orchestra, the individual parts all have different tones, overtones and unique attributes that have to be tuned in order to play harmoniously together. The singing bowl therapist works like a music conductor.
Our nervous system is sensitive to all sounds. Loud and dissonant sounds can hurt or even kill us, while the beautiful, rhythmic sounds of the singing bowls have a profoundly healing effect on the nervous system, which is in continuous communication with every cell in the body.
The combination between the sound of the bowl perceived through the ear, and the vibrations of the bowl through the flesh of the body, has a healing effect on body, mind, and soul.
The external vibrations of the tapped bowl cause the cells to resonate. From here the sound waves spread everywhere since the body consists of more than 70% water, and water is a great conductor of sound and vibration.
The sound waves (like the waves from a stone thrown into a pond) spread in concentric rings into larger and larger circles through the blood, flesh, organs, and bones, relaxing them and at the same time harmonizing and energizing them.
In this way, the more than 100 trillion cells, the building blocks of the human body, are receiving a gentle cleansing massage. Think of it as being similar to what happens when you put jewelry or dentures into a supersonic bath. In a short while, all the dirt comes loose. The sound vibrations of IASH singing bowls, designed for healing, release energy blockages from body, mind, and spirit.
These special vibrations are soothing enough to calm the nerves, yet penetrating enough to reach the marrow of the bones!
Sound Healing with IASH Singing Bowls is a powerful adjuvant therapy for almost any illness, due to its relaxing effect. Many clients feel relief from pain and tension the first time they receive treatment, for others it takes a few more sessions before they perceive a profound change.
