How to use a Singing bowl for healing

by Nitesh Joshi

Using a singing bowl for healing involves a combination of sound, intention, and mindful practice. Tibetan Singing bowls and crystal singing bowls produce vibrations and tones believed to promote relaxation, chakra balance, and support physical and emotional well-being.

Follow the guide below to use a singing bowl for healing:

1. Create a Calm Space

  • Choose a quiet, calm, and comfortable space 
  • Sit in a relaxed position 
  • Light a candle or incense to set the mood (If preferred)

2. Set Your Intention

  • Healing works best when guided by intention
  • Silently or out loud, state what you wish to release or heal like stress, anxiety, sadness, tension

3. Choose Your Singing Bowl

  • Different singing bowls produce different frequencies that resonates with a specific chakra
    • Lower tones: grounding, physical healing (root chakra)
    • Higher tones: mental clarity, spiritual connection (crown chakra)
  • Use a striker that best suits your bowl

4. Play the Bowl

Two common methods:

➤ Striking Method:

  • Gently strike the bowl on the rim with the striker
  • Let the sound resonate and fade completely before striking again

➤ Rubbing Method (Rimming for Resonance):

  • Hold the bowl in your palm or place it on a table with a singing bowl base
  • Use the striker to gently rub around the outer rim of the singing bowl
  • Continue circling giving enough pressure until you get a clear, humming tone 

5. Focus on Breath and Sensation

  • Breathe slowly and deeply
  • Pay attention to how the sound feels—vibrations, warmth, calmness
  • Relax. Let go of tension with each breath and tone

6. Focus on Breath and Sensation

  • Breathe slowly and deeply.
  • Pay attention to how the sound feels—vibrations, warmth, calm.
  • Let go of tension with each breath and tone.

7. End with Stillness

  • After several minutes of playing, let the sound fade away
  • Sit in silence to absorb the sound experience
  • You may end with a gratitude or grounding thought

You can use other tools like meditation, crystals, aromatherapy, or affirmations to deepen the healing session. The more regularly you use the singing bowl with conscious intent, the more benefits you may notice—reduced stress, improved focus, emotional release, better sleep, or a sense of inner peace.
