I hope everyone had a good holiday week-end. I really hate to see summer end. I forgot to post this picture earlier this summer. I've been wanting one of these bowls for a long time, and on one of week-end excursions this summer we found one and Don bought it for me.
These bowls are also known as Himalayan bowls and they are a type of bell. But instead of hanging, they sit on a cushion. When you tap on the bowl with the wooden dowel, the sides and the rim vibrate to produce a beautiful sound.
I'm very big on yoga and meditation, so this will be well used. The beautiful purple box that it came in was handmade out of Lokata paper by the monks in Nepal. I love collecting exotic things. This will join my crystal ball and my Voodoo drum.

I'm a Tibetan musicologist who has spent over 30 years now researching, collecting and recording singing bowls in the Himalayas (in fact I'm writing this to you from my home there where I stay 6 months of every year so that I can personally hand pick the finest singing bowls in the world!).
We work with many sound healers, therapists, spas, yoga teachers, meditators, and musicians worldwide to help them find just the right singing bowl(s) which resonate with them. If you don't find what your looking/listening for in our singing bowl galleries then you can email or call my showroom in Los Angeles, California (listed on the website) and my partner, Shakti, and our staff will be most happy to help you out. We have many more bowls then are listed on the website. We're looking forward to helping you find your perfect bowl!
A few years ago I bought one of those bowls for my daughter and she just loves it. I keep thinking I'll get one for myself but haven't done it. I think after seeing yours I'll look for one again. They make such a beautiful sound.
