singing bowls
Tibetan meditation instruments
Singing bowls are metal bowls that produce a resonant, sustained tone when struck or when a mallet is rubbed around the rim.
Used in meditation, yoga, and sound therapy, they're believed to promote relaxation and healing.
Often called Tibetan singing bowls, though their actual historical connection to Tibet is disputed: She circled the mallet around the singing bowl until the room hummed.
