Collection: Singing bowls

A singing bowl is a metal bell that produces sustained, resonant tones when struck or circled with a mallet. With long standing roots in Himalayan cultures, singing bowls are used today for meditation, sound therapy, yoga, and stress relief. They're also commonly known as Tibetan bowls, Himalayan bowls, or sound bowls.

Hold the bowl gently in your palm or place it on a cushion, then strike or circle the rim with a mallet to produce a continuous, meditative tone. Adjust speed and pressure to explore the bowl's harmonics. See our beginner's guide to playing singing bowls for detailed instruction.

Choose a smaller bowl (15–20cm) for personal meditation and travel, a medium bowl (20–24cm) for general practice and yoga, or a larger bowl (25cm+) for sound healing and group work. Deeper bowls produce deeper tones. Read our beginner's guide on choosing a singing bowl for help picking the right size and frequency.

Some traditional bowls are made from alloys incorporating multiple metals associated with celestial bodies in ancient cosmology, though the precise composition varies by region and maker. Most bowls today use bronze (copper and tin) with smaller amounts of other metals.

Tibetan singing bowls produce rich, complex harmonic tones used for general meditation and sound healing, while chakra singing bowls are tuned to specific frequencies corresponding to the body's seven energy centres. Both are crafted from metal alloys, but chakra bowls are precisely tuned (often to musical notes like C, D, E, F, G, A, and B) to support energetic work.

To care for your singing bowl: wipe clean with a soft microfibre cloth, store on a cushion, and keep in a dry place away from sunlight and moisture. Avoid harsh chemicals and protect from knocks or drops to preserve sound quality. Read our full guide on caring for your singing bowl.
