Tibetan Prayer Bowls Deanna

[Guest guest]

When the Dali Lama went into exile that's when most of the bowls were smuggled

out of the country.

I'm telling you the sound is like no other. Now crystal bowls are nice but

nothing close in sound to the Tibetan bowls.

The wonderful thing about this group is, we learn a little something new daily

as we go along our way in here.

Hugs, Donna

-I had never heard of the Tibetan prayer bowls..What a lovely thought

and such a special friend to give you the bowl. The Dali Lama is one

of my favorite people. So sad at what has happened to the innocents

in his country. A blessing that he was able to flee to India for

safety. So many monks and nums were killed. Sorry didn't mean to put

a damper on the gift of your prayer bowl. This group is a wealth of

knowledge.

Sending smiles and hugs your way

even makes it more special. My girlfriend travels many places in the

world for stones to sell in her spiritual shop. She acquired a few

bowls along her travels and gave this one to me.

explaining the bowls, it's called " Singing Bowls a practical handbook

by Eva Rudy Jansen.

Sound Healing and there is a beautiful picture of a table filled with

bowls and a very good article on ancient instruments adding a new

dimension to modern stress relief. One instrument is the Aborigines

of Australia's, didgeridoo, I have a girlfriend that collects them

and she has been playing it for years now.

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.
