Tibetan Prayer Bowls

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna,

Don't you just love your bowl? Do you use it often or use it for specific

purposes?

 

We were very lucky to be on vacation and visiting a whole earth type store.

There was a notice on the door that said there would be a Tibetan Bowl Concert

that afternoon at 1:00 in the store. We went out and had lunch and then went

back to the store for 1:00. The store owner advised us there was a mistake on

the sign and it was at 7 pm. (we wouldn't be able to come back with our

schedule). She called the " bowl man " and he said he would come right over and

do a personal thing with us. It was absolutely amazing!!!! He had about 20

bowls, some very, very old and a couple that were newly made. He had us lay on

the floor (on a fluffy blanket) and he placed the bowls all around us at

strategic spots and started them singing. All the different tones mingling

together was fantastic. He would also hold a bowl over different parts of us.

He also started doing a double humming thing (I forget what it is called). But

he was able to hum what sounded like 2 - 3 different notes at the same time. He

said that took years of practice to master. All in all, it was a wonderful

experience.

That sounds lovely, Colleen--both the singing tones and the overall

experience. :>)
