About Blue Moon Singing Bowls

Singing bowls possess a rich history and tradition, with discoveries and mentions of them going back over 3000 years. While stories note their supernatural powers, such as transcending dimensions, today, singing bowls are used during meditation to relax. These handmade bowls are a common accessory for sound therapy, and are said to calm the user when used correctly. As per tradition, these singing bowls in particular are crafted on the day of a rare ‘Blue Moon’, absorbing the moon’s powerful energy and bringing about the required results through healing vibrations. Our artisans work through the night, imbuing the bowl with the rare energy given off on these occasions. Each one of these miraculous singing bowls are sound tested to ensure their quality.

Types of Singing Bowls

• Sand-Cast Singing Bowls

These singing bowls are made through a sand-casting technique that involves limited effort as compared to the handmade bowls. Sand-cast singing bowls are not hand beaten, but they reflect positive energy nonetheless.

• Hand-Beaten Singing Bowls

Crafting this type of meditating bowl requires a lot of effort. It takes around 5 artisans a week to complete each bowl - but the results are worth the wait. The sound of these bowls is much deeper and more intense than other bowls.

• Blue Moon Singing Bowl

The artisans make sure they commence their work on a few Tibetan Singing Bowls on a blue moon night. In addition to their great sound, Blue Moon Singing Bowls are said to be imbued with a magnificent, rarer energy than their counterparts. This is due to the rareness of blue moons itself. This also means that artisans produce fewer blue moon bowls than any other kind of bowl - making it a rarer collectible for your collection.

Kaarigar’s Tibetan singing bowl collection

Our Tibetan Blue moon bowls, also known as Himalayan bowls, are handmade by artisans in India. The sound produced by these bowls is authentic and is that of the AUM – the meditation chant. You can play these bowls in two simple ways: Either by striking it with the wooden wand for percussive, pulsating tones or by encircling all the edges continuously with the wand for the perfect effect. By resting the singing bowl on your palm, you’ll experience a greater depth in comparison to placing it on a pad.

Uses of the Singing bowl

• Meditation-

Increases the concentration of the mind and enables the person to meditate uninterrupted for a long duration.

• Sound therapy-

The sound with its strong vibrations can help mental well-being, using physical therapies to relieve emotional pain and worries.

• Stress relief-

The bowls and the gong create sounds that calm the mind, and lower fear, anger, anxiety, etc., helping one relax completely.

• Chakra balancing-

Chakras denote the various energies in your body, often represented by different colours. Balanced chakra is essential for your well-being - and singing bowls are said to bring about this harmony within your body.


Blue Moon Singing Bowls are a helpful addition to the homes of regular meditators. The benefits and effects of using them are undeniable, and they possess an enchanting appearance as well. Singing bowls are usually bought in conjunction with the gong or the wand to help them perform to their best potential. When it comes to healing therapies and the mind, nothing but the best will do - which is why Kaarigar is dedicated to offering these extraordinary bowls and accessories to you.

The mystery surrounding the origins of Singing Bowls persists. For centuries, monks and priests used the bowl almost exclusively in ancient religious practices and ceremonies - but we can't be sure that this was their original purpose. After all, while these bowls were popularized by Buddhist monks around 600 B.C, Monks are known to have used bowls for collecting and eating meals. It is not clear how they graduated from there, to creating vibrations that cleanse energy. Historians suspect the first bowls originated 2000 years before that in Ancient Mesopotamia! Their history has since been lost to the ravages of time, leaving us unable to confirm how they used their bowls. Sound, however, has always played an influential role in ancient rituals - from chanting to accompanying instruments. The fact that singing bowls produce a sonorous, soothing tone suggests that they were incorporated into ceremonies right from the time of their invention. 5000 years on, and singing bowls are as popular as ever, taking their place both at religious ceremonies and simple meditation and healing sessions. 

Singing bowls and healing: A match made in heaven.

The East had always believed and practiced the power of spiritual and physiological healing. Cultures across countries share different versions of a central belief - a healthy body consists of balanced energy (or Chakra). These chakras can be manipulated in various ways when thrown out of balance, helping the stricken individual recover naturally and quickly. 

Sound therapy is one such method. At its core, energy is believed to be composed of simple vibrations. For thousands of years, it was thought that manipulating sound around us to form frequencies that matched those of our bodies would help restore balance, and therefore health. If nothing else, sound proved to be relaxing when played at the right frequencies, generating brain activity and waves that actively help meditation and produce a host of positive side effects. 

Just like all treatments, some are simply more effective than others. When singing bowls would have first started to appear in the East, the meditative tone it produced would have caught on in no time at all. Temples and monasteries across the region used bells and gongs all the time - the instrument in question wasn't always sacred. It was the sound it produced. The best Singing Bowls offered tones that reverberate richly through the air, waves of calming sound resonating outward from the palm of their hand. It wasn't long before these beautiful bowls started to appear in households in place of gongs, with large bowls produced for monasteries or therapy classes on occasion.

The types of Singing Bowls

Singing bowls can generally be played in one of two different ways - tapping or circling the bowl. The composition of the bowl and wand used can change or enhance the sound produced, with different materials producing different vibrations. Bowls today are being produced with everything from crystal to brass . Some traditional handmade singing bowls were produced with an alloy made from up to seven metals! But when it comes down to it, these antique singing bowls should be judged on the sound produced first - and aesthetic qualities after. Handmade Tibetan singing bowls are generally made from a mix of metals    and produce some of the best vibrations and tones. Singing bowls can also be either handmade or sand cast. Although sand cast bowls do render satisfactory vibrations, they cannot match the soothing quality of handmade singing bowls. It takes teams of these talented artists to craft a single bowl, hammering a patty of the metal alloy into shape before smoothening the edges and working the interior. Experts will always be able to identify a handmade, hammered singing bowl from the indents and shaping of the metal. More importantly, Handmade Singing Bowls carry the good energy generated by the passion and hard work of the artisans, passed into your home.

The great crossover: How Singing Bowls went West.

As the world slowly opened up to easy travel, trips to the other half of the world became increasingly common. But before this was possible, this type of trip might have truly been a once-in-a-lifetime occasion - if even that. The secrets of the East were hard to access - and held mystery and mysticism for those accustomed to a different philosophy and way of life. However, secrets only remain hidden for so long. Meditation and yoga have always been attractive forms of therapy to the western world, with many making the trip to places like India to find meditative peace - not content with simply practicing at home. 

Many people thought yoga was a passing fad - a strange ritual that was popular because it was different. But these are real practices with documented benefits. Over time, the healing offered by these ancient methods won over more people, and yoga was here to stay. With a growing belief in eastern medicine and practices, popular artifacts like singing bowls started to generate demand, often shipped across the world at great cost to ensure authenticity and quality. 

Today, fortunately, one doesn't have to go to this extent of trouble to get an authentic antique bowl for themselves. Certain reputed sellers source the material for the bowl before turning it over to traditional artisans to craft. The best Tibetan singing bowls are shipped to customers no matter where they are - allowing you to procure a piece of history and culture at a fraction of the cost it would have taken just a few decades ago, while still supporting the artists behind the craft.

 

The Singing Bowl, also called a Himalayan bowl, is known to be used by Buddhist monks since 600 B.C. It is most commonly known for sound therapy and space clearing, but there are other uses for it. The singing bowl can be used to balance our chakras, reduce stress and even sound massage. 

The sound produced by the singing bowl is that of the AUM –  the absolute. There are two basic ways of playing a Singing Bowl, you can either strike it with the wooden wand for percussive, pulsating tones; or you can encircle the edges repeatedly with the wand for a sustained effect.  Resting the singing bowl upon the palm of your hand will usually enable you to appreciate the experience to a greater depth than placing the bowl on a pad.
