Tibetan Meditation

Tibetan Singing Bowls are used very often for Tibetan meditation purposes.  Whoever leads the meditation session will strike the bowl every so often, and produce a tone that can fill an entire temple.  This tone served as a reminder to remain mindful.  The sound also was used therapeutically, as it had a healing effect.  In fact, different types of bowls are associated with different chakras, and different elements of one's life.

Third Eye chakra Tibetan singing bowls are associated with clairvoyance and intuition.  The third eye chakra is believed to have the capability of seeing things that normally cannot be seen.  Crown Chakras are associated with the head, and some use these meditation bowls during Tibetan meditation, or to heal different types of head pains like headaches.  Buddhists will use the Healing Grade C singing bowls to create feelings of insecurity, for instance with someone who is trying to get used to a new situation like school or a new location.  These Grade C bowls are associated with the Root Chakra.  The Sacral chakra is associated with the spleen, and is tied to the Grade D Tibetan singing bowls.  The note generated by these bowls resonate in the body with creative energy, sexuality and emotions.  It may bring out emotions that have not been felt before, or sexual energy as well.  In Tibetan meditation, the Grade E chakra is tied to the Solar Plexus, and the Tibetan singing bowls in this group are used to stimulate gut feelings and self esteem.

The last two healing grade Tibetan singing bowls, F and G, are associated with the heart and the throat, respectively.  The note generated by F grade bowls symbolizes love and compassion.  It can be used t obring love and peace back into the lives of those who feel it faltering.  Those going through difficult periods with family or loved ones can use these bowls to restore a relationship.  It can also raise one's self esteem.  Finally, Grade G Tibetan singing bowls are associated with attributes of truth and self expression.  It can be used to heal someone suffering from a throat illness.  It is also great for someone struggling to communicate with another person.  It can give them the energy needed to express themselves clearly.  There is a lot to learn from Tibetan meditation traditions, but it is all very interesting and has a deep and rich history.
