This contemporary , 7 metal, F note, golden singing bowl, corresponds to the Root Chakra in the traditional Tibetan/ Nepali orientation. (If you are using the Western orientation, this bowl would correspond to the Heart Chakra.) This bowl is recommended as a healing bowl, since its size and weight generate strong healing sound waves. This bowl can be played by striking it with a woolen drum stick, by striking it with a leather wrapped playing stick, or by singing it around the rim with the leather part of the playing stick. This bowl comes with a free, online singing bowl playing lesson by Zoom or Facetime.
