How to Play Singing Bowls | History of Tibetan Singing Bowls | Music for Everyone

Singing bowls are a really easy way to add a little sound to your practice, but their history is a little convoluted. In this video, I'm going to examine where they came from and how to play them, then I'll talk about using them to enhance other things like meditation or ritual.
Music should be accessible for everyone, especially for use in ritual or magickal practices. I know a lot of people feel like you have to have talent or ability, but that's not the case. My goal for this video series is to show you easy instruments that don't require much, if any, practice.

Another exceptional video. Your editing is great and you're a very good teacher. Thanks for posting this.

[@AerikArkadian]

Thank you for the encouragement! I’ll keep making the videos as long as you keep watching and enjoying them!

Super cool!!! Thanks for the lesson!! I always wanted to get a large deep bowl that makes a really bassy deep sound for ritual in circles

[@AerikArkadian]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Personally I’ve always wanted a full set of big crystal bowls… they’re just so expensive!

Ben Kerkwyk is really into these. Matt Beall has purchased a bunch of them on the Antiquities market and has recently been interviewed about them by Danny Jones, Nick Sierra and Alex Dunn measure these and talk about how they found sacred geometry embedded in the structural design.
You won't find them if you search for singing bowls. None of these guys claim that these are singing bowls. But soon it will be revealed.
Look up these names on you tube. I found out about them at the cosmic summit last month in NC.

There are stone jars that were dug up out of a tumb of some king in Egypt and was dated back 5000 years. Sorry i don't know his name but I think it was in Sakura. If i can find it I'll try to reply to this message with the name.
The thing is, these stone jars are made out of granite that is almost as hard as diamonds. These stone jars are so precise that they rival the capacities of today.
But there's a few other problems with them. Yes, they looks like vases but they don't stand up straight because the bottoms are round or pointed. They have nubs that look like handle brackets but they are not drilled through to hold handles. Well, some of then were drilled but they were drilled later. The holes are crude and don't match the original art. They also have no lids for these jars. And guess why, they are not jars. They aren't even containers. What They are finding out right now as we speakb is that these are singing bowls that spin. Yes, they spin like a top when you wrap a string around the neck and pull it. They are also very heavy and spin pivot a very small surface that minimizes any friction. They say that if you spin them on a polished granite surface they will literally spin all day. The nubs on the side are there to balance the bowls.
They are spinning singing bowls, inverted granite bells. And they probably came through the ice ages.

That’s really cool! Thanks for sharing that. If you can find a link to an article or something, I’d love to read it. Otherwise I’ll try to find some more info when I have some free time.
