The Tibetan Singing Bowls are being used today for healing both the body and the mind as well as bring peace to the spirit. The soothing sounds clears the mind of negative thought patterns, heals the heart of past traumas and alters the patterns of the physical body bringing healing and relaxation. Tibetan singing bowls are created in a variety of sizes and differing visual shapes. Although the origins of the bowls are unknown it is surmised that they have been in use in the Himalayan region for over 3000 years and made their way to Tibet about 1000 years ago with the advent of Buddhism to that area of the world. It is thought that the ancient shamans known as the Bon were the primary users of these instruments in Tibet.
