XDrum Omshanti Singing Bowl 20 cm Complete Set

Sound Magic for Relaxation, Meditation and Inspiration!

You don't have to be a devoted follower of spiritual concepts to sense the holistic, calming power of the warm, earthbound tones of Tibetan singing bowls. The vibrations and tones of these traditional sound vessels carry an almost magical force. You intuitively feel how the sounds harmonize body and mind. The different techniques of striking and rubbing the bowl with the mallet produce nuanced tones that speak to all the senses and bring about deep relaxation, unclouded lightness and the feeling of being at peace with yourself.

Applications

Singing bowls are used wherever emotional well-being is the top priority. They can bring calming influence into your private everyday life, promote harmony and balance after a demanding workday, or be enjoyed and inspire you through professional treatments. Last but not least, singing bowls are also exceptionally interesting musical instruments that add striking accents to your arrangements. Some concrete examples of application are:

• Stress reduction in everyday life
• Wellness treatments in spa facilities
• Sound massages in psychotherapeutic disciplines
• Playful use in children's groups
• Yoga and meditation
• Pregnancy support
• Sound therapy in care settings
• Creative dance

The unique interplay of round, harmonious tones and gentle vibrations helps you let go, find your center and relax. Singing bowl sessions can therefore also help with sleep and concentration disorders, muscle tension and other complaints.

Origin

The XDrum singing bowls are crafted in India using an elaborate production process. While in the Himalayas they were originally used mainly as cookware and eating vessels, Buddhist monks discovered the bowls as aids for meditation and thus gave them a completely new purpose.

Handmade Originals

XDrum singing bowls are produced by laborious handcrafting from seven materials. This alloy consists of the metals copper, zinc, iron, nickel, aluminium, silver and gold. The exact composition can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. To achieve the final shape and the individual sound, the alloy is hammered into the desired form over a fire. It is often heated and cooled again up to 30 times during this process.

Unlike machine-made bowls, XDrum's handmade models are unique originals. A certain tolerance in diameter and weight of the bowl is perfectly normal and does not indicate any reduction in quality.

Usage

To produce the beneficial sounds and vibrations, singing bowls are struck or rubbed with a mallet. In this way the bowl can even be made to sing. When several bowls are played at the same time, a charming, entirely new sonic pattern emerges.

Cushion

The singing bowl cushion serves as a base for the Tibetan singing bowl and affects the bowl's timbre and resonance. It prevents the tone from being influenced by the surface under the bowl—such as a table or the floor—or by other background noises when the bowl is struck. The cushion therefore ensures a warm, long-lasting and soft sound. Another advantage of a bowl pad is the stable support provided by its flexible filling. In addition, this beautiful cushion also presents your singing bowl decoratively!

Mallets

Choosing the right mallet is very important to produce a pleasant sound. It must suit the character of the bowl and its size and material have a decisive influence on the tone. A mallet that is too large or too soft can, for example, produce a dull, muffled sound. In this set you receive the optimal mallet in the appropriate size.
