XDrum Omshanti Singing Bowl 30 cm Complete Set

Sound Magic for Relaxation, Meditation and Inspiration!

You don't need to be an ardent follower of spiritual ideas to sense the holistically calming effect of the warm, earth-connected tones of Tibetan singing bowls. The vibrations and tones of these traditional sound vessels radiate an almost magical power. You intuitively feel how the sounds harmonize body and mind. The different techniques of striking and rubbing the bowl with the mallet create richly nuanced tones that engage all the senses and induce deep relaxation, unclouded lightness and a feeling of being at peace with yourself.

Applications

Singing bowls are used wherever emotional well-being is the top priority. You can bring their calming effect into your private daily life, promote harmony and balance after a demanding workday, or indulge in and be inspired by professional treatments. Not least, singing bowls are also exceptionally interesting musical instruments that add striking accents to your arrangements. Some concrete examples of use are:

• Stress relief in everyday life
• Wellness treatments in spa facilities
• Sound massages in psychotherapeutic settings
• 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 applications can therefore also help with sleep and concentration disorders, muscle tension and other complaints.

Origin

XDrum singing bowls are produced in India using an elaborate process. While in the Himalayas they were primarily used as cooking and eating vessels, Buddhist monks discovered the bowls as an aid to meditation and thus gave them a completely new purpose.

Handmade Originals

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

Unlike machine-made singing bowls, XDrum’s handcrafted models are unique one-offs. A certain tolerance in diameter and weight of the bowl is perfectly normal and does not indicate reduced quality.

How to Use

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

Cushion

The singing bowl cushion serves as a base for the Tibetan singing bowl and affects the bowl’s timbre and vibration behavior. It prevents the tone from being influenced by the underlying surface—e.g. the table, floor—or other background noises when the bowl is struck. Thus the cushion ensures a warm, long-lasting and soft sound. Another advantage of a bowl cushion is the stable support provided by its flexible filling. In addition, this visually beautiful cushion also decoratively showcases your singing bowl!

Mallets

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

Tibetan singing bowls speak to body, mind and soul and open the way to new horizons!
