Note: Our Singing Bowls come direct from Nepalese collectors, NOT shops. You will not find these bowls in the myriad of bowl stalls in Kathmandu. Some people call them 'master quality' or some such name, insinuating that they hand picked them out of piles etc.(everyone picks from piles so what is new?) This is a simple sales gimmick, and marketing tool invented in the West. These bowls are sourced and authenticated by someone who has been researching them for 45 years to insure honesty and integrity (no one in North America has been studying them this long, you can check this fact yourself).

These bowls are marketed under various names in the West, today you see them sold as Naga or pedestal bowls. The common name among the Nepalese is 'stem' or 'butt', the later insinuating that it rests on it's backside. Their shape influences their sound nature. Sound workers have been using these bowls for decades as 'scanners' on the biofield of the human body. Turning the bowl upside down, and gently tapping it consistently, allows the therapist to 'dowse' the koshas and to discover irregularities. You simply grip the 'base' of the bowl and turn it over. Finding very small one's are a challenge, because one needs a small easy to hold bowl. Last year one of our 'scouts' combed the Himalayas and brought back a small collection of genuine antiques we could offer to Sound Therapists. Email for pricing.

shamanbowl.jpg

This bowl was picked up during some field work in Nepal about 2 decades ago. Marked or notched on the upper lip with the 4 Directions, this singing bowl is nearly 11 inches. Based upon the field notes regarding this bowl, it came from the family of a Tamang shaman. The Tamang are one of the ethnic groups in Nepal that have ties to the Tibetans. Originally believed to have been brought into Nepal as the horse soldiers of a Tibetan King's military campaign into Nepal long ago. The horse soldiers stayed behind and became one of Nepal's largest ethnic groups. Tuning reference @ 432, this bowl pulses between Bb and A, finally resting on A. Email for pricing.
