Our Zen Therapeutic Bowls are meticulously crafted metal singing bowls designed specifically for sound therapy and bodywork. They are prized for their strong, palpable vibration when struck or sung, making them ideal for placing directly on the body during sessions. This vibration offers a deeply felt, resonant experience that supports relaxation, grounding, and energetic realignment.
Unlike traditional hand-hammered or antique bowls, Zen Therapeutic Bowls are lathed to remove surface impurities, producing a smoother finish and a clearer, more stable fundamental tone. This careful shaping enhances not only the fundamental note—the lowest, most prominent sound—but also the harmonic overtone, the second-loudest and most prominent accompanying tone. Together, these defined frequencies allow practitioners to pair bowls more intentionally for harmonized sound sessions.
Every Zen Therapeutic Bowl is unique. Variations in thickness, shape, and size mean each one has its own voice and character. To bring out its fullest sound potential, you may need to experiment with your playing technique—adjusting the mallet angle, pressure, or speed around the rim until you find the sweet spot for that bowl. This responsiveness offers a rich, personalized relationship between player and instrument, deepening your sound therapy practice.
