Thankyou so much! I bought my bowl in Brunswick Heads a week ago and couldn't get it to sing. Neither could my friend who has her own singing bowl and is far more experienced than me. The first time I was able to make my bowl sing brought tears to my eyes ... I still have some practice to be consistent with the tones but it works beautifully thanks to this tutorial!!! Yay and thanks again!
Yesterday 6/28/22, my best friend bought me a 4 in. singing bowl for my birthday, which was last week. For the last 2 hpurs, I have been trying to get my bowl to sing (and couldn't). I was beginning to think it was not a real, but a decorative singing bowl. I watched a few videos on how to make it sing. This video was the 4th video I watched (why your bowl is Not singing). I realized I was not holding my hand Completely Flat! Even though I hadn't been touching the bowl with my fingers while holding it in palm, my center of my palm was too cupped, not "flat" enough to enable a continuous tone. In the video, when you started making your bowl sing (after demonstrating how flat to hold your hand), my bowl immedistrly started SINGING LOUDLY along with yours in Perfect Harmony!!! I wanted to shout in Happiness and call my friend and at that moment I noticed my singing bowl's tone started to lower. I then took a breath and concentrated on being thankful to this bowl for "connecting" with me. The tone came back Up and this bowl sung so Loudly! I am both amazed and humbled. I will now call my friend and thank her once again for this awesome gift. Thank You for sharing this video with us!!! 🙌🏾
I been interested in Tibetan singing bowls for too long, never having the ‘spare’ cash to buy one ☹️. My wonderful son just bought one for me and now I have a real vibration going all on 🕉 Namaste ✌️
Thank you. I've had my bowl for a few years and only have been able to work with it to sign 2 times. I couldn't figure out what the heck I was doing wrong. You helped me figure out that I needed to put my whole arm into it. I love the sound now.
I watched a few tutorials and still couldn’t get my bowel sing but this tutorial is so effective. I immediately figured out my issue and was able to get a beautiful sing out of the bowel. Thank you!!
I’ve watched over 30 different videos prior to running across yours and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I now connected with my singing bowl and use it daily thanks to you. I have a 4 inch brass singing bowl which I purchased from Silent Mind. Keep up the amazing job! I am subscribed, have hit the like button and bell notifications are turned on! Thank you once again . Namaste’!
My singing bowl will sing using the wooden part but the sound would completely stop when I use the male part or won’t sing at all using the suede part. Have you ever heard of this ?
I found the same to be true with mine also. From the first day I received it. Then by chance I used the wooden end instead of the suede end. The bowl started singing. The other thing is that it won’t sing if I use the cushion. But if I hold it in the palm of my hand and let the bowl warm to my touch, it will sing beautifully.
This is normal. Usually normal for machine made singing bowls. But hand hammered singing bowls will usually respond to the suede part. All are acceptable and good! Happy singing friend.❤️🎶☺️
You know that last 'secret' way to get to know your singing bowl to help it sing, is so important. As I've added to my collection of bowls I've realised this more and more. If I've even been away from home and left mine for a few days or more, they are 'cold' towards me when I resume playing. (Sometimes mine travel with me, heavy as they are, so we can continue our relationship!). And each bowl has its own unique personality and character. Learn about it. 'Converse' by playing it often, and really listen to what it tells you. It will talk to you, and when it's happy it will sing.... and sing...... 🙏
Amazing. Today I received my first Singing bowl and it had no sound, but thanks to your advice to connect and communicate with it. It has started make nice sound. It is awesome. And thank you for useful advice :)
I have had my bowl since Aoril and it was playing perfectly until about an hour ago. It has not been dropped. I tried striking the side as he suggested in the video and it still rang beautifully. Then I decided to wipe the bowl and mallet with a nice soft cloth. Sound began to return but not as loud as previously. Then I rang my fingernail around the indented rings of the bowl and it improved even more. I saw black dirty substance on the nail and that might have been part of the problem. He mentions connecting with the bowl and just maybe the bowl is telling me it like myself can be tired!🤣
One thing I have noticed about people in general is that they cannot see what their own bodies are doing. It’s as if they are disconnected from their bodies and I realized this is mainly because they rely too much on their social skills. They cannot shut up long enough to comprehend how to use their hands to do anything. Anyway, if they put duck tape on their mouth, ear plugs stuffed in their ears, and blinders on the side of their heads to train them to take the time to look at their own body movements for a week or so then maybe they will understand how to use their hands with real purpose.
Thank you so much for this! Thanks to your Tip #4, I was finally able to get my singing bowl to sing with a suede mallet. Before, it would only sing with a wooden one which would buzz and clatter when it got loud, which was very disruptive, and ultimately, uncomfortable.
You absolute legend! Tip #4 was where I was going wrong... just a shame I'm doing this immediately after a particular gruelling arm day and can only keep it up for a short while (plus it's a big bowl, so that ain't helping my burning arms much)! But it works, the bowl sounds like the bassy drone I hoped for, and I'm chuffed. (Also, thank you for the no-fluff approach. Much appreciated!)
I think I'm very lucky..I bought singing bowl at Chinese lucky charm store today and she thought me only once and when I tried it...I got it and I did very well ..😊..
I did all of these first few correctly, and it still would not sing... got to the last part and was like, sigh, ok... I will talk to my bowl... well I sent it loving thoughts and willed a connection, and whalla it worked, lol
I got my first singing bowl today and tried to make it singing. I did. It’s beautiful but not last. I need to practice more so it can sing more beautifully and last. Thanks for your video😊
I've been trying for a month, now just watching this I finally managed it! It turns out the cushion I have for the bowl doesn't have enough friction for the amount of pressure my bowl needs, so I actually have to hold it in my hand.
Thank you, purchased my first bowl and it sounded tinny and rattlely when struck and wouldn't sing. On closer inspection it had an inch long crack. New bowl and striaght away my daughter and go it singing.
Thanks for the tips on Bowl Singing. I'm new to the practice. Curious to find a striker that may create different sounds with my 4in. bowl. Suede seems to be the go to material for a Tibetan bowl. Wondering if smooth leather or another material would still allow one to play the bowl?? Thoughts or experience on this topic??? Namaste.
I just got my small bowl today and found out I cannot get it to sing from the suede side of the mallet but from the wooden side I can. Also, your reason # 4, from my lack of experience, I assume depends on the bowl. I discovered that I can create two different tone sounds from two different angles. I higher pitch from the rim with mallet at an angle and a lower pitch from below the rim with straight vertical position.
my meditation bowl is working and using it everyday with proper care but i noticed some small crack on the bottom outer surface of my meditation bowl. bit worried
Interesting experience. I couldn't get my Tibetan singing bowl to sing. I then used my 528Hz tuning fork from the base chakra to the crown. Tried the bowl again and sang like a bird🐦
Also try putting it in a fire or even on top of an electric stove for 30 minutes really worked great for me, it actually happened by accident and I'm happy it did big difference 📿🖖🌼
That's not a good feeling...I took an having issues making it sing, it sounds good when I hit with mallet, but it doesn't sing...I shldnt get frustrated but I am...hmmmm
It has a nice vibration went striking the bowl, but the mallet is just wood..is thst ok..and it wont sing for me, im really spiritual too! I dont get it...hmm?
Lol, nothing special. I don't know if I can recreate it again! Just let your shoulder move around the bowl with your hand while stopping your wrist from rotating? Good luck!
You don't need to connect with it. 😂 Sorry. That's just funny to me. I work in a metaphysical shop and mess with bowls all day. Haven't "connected" with any of them.
I have two Thadobatis, a 7" & 9". They both sing without a jarring ringing. The mallet is 1.5 x 8.5 My smaller bowl, not sure what kind, is 8.25 x 2.5 and it has that jarring ring on two sides. Perhaps I need a smaller mallet? Thank you for the input without the spiritual fluff, much appreciated.
I have all the 7 chakra singing bowls but only two aren’t working for me. When I hit them they make a sound long enough to know there’s no cracks and I use the same stick for all of them. Idk what it could be?
I was so sad my bowl wasn't singing. After watching your video my bowl did sing. I am amazed by the sound. Thank you, made my day
What did it sing? Kalinka?

I got mine for 20 dollars on Amazon

I watched a few tutorials and still couldn’t get my bowel sing but this tutorial is so effective. I immediately figured out my issue and was able to get a beautiful sing out of the bowel. Thank you!!
Bowel?
Sweetie, you mean BOWL. Bowel means an entirely different thing 😬
@@Genuine-iq2uy it was a small typo. jesus, get over yourself.
Please don't make your bowel sing. thanks.
🤣😅 bowel. That was too funny 😁

You have to be able to feel and catch the vibration and you can stretch the energy out like silly putty and play with it.
My singing bowl will sing using the wooden part but the sound would completely stop when I use the male part or won’t sing at all using the suede part. Have you ever heard of this ?

Thankyou. My singing bowl won't sing, so I will keep at it with your very helpful tips. Much gratitude🤗
Bought a bowl today, found your page, thank you. I made it sing 🎶
I energetically connected with my bowl using reiki and it does sing so much sweeter. Thank you
Reason #4 all the way! My bowl and I are now making beautiful music together. Thank you!
You helped me discover what I was doing wrong. Thank you! 😀

I couldn't get it to work until I tried the fingertip method tysm
Thank you for posting. I watched another video which didn't help at all but was able to make my bowl sing after trying your techniques!
ah for me it was technique, such a delight when it actually starts!
I think I'm very lucky..I bought singing bowl at Chinese lucky charm store today and she thought me only once and when I tried it...I got it and I did very well ..😊..

Thank you...I gifted this singing bowl to grandfather...!!!
Exactly how it sounds and I have two of them and hopefully you can help me out thank you
Thanks for sharing the great tips.

AMAZING! The bell must have needed a rest! Playing as before this morning! Or may be better connection to it😎
I forgot to keep my hand flat! 😅 thank you for making this video ❤
The bonus tip was SO useful. Sang finally, Namaste
Thank you so much extremely helpful my bowl sings now ✌️❤️☀️
Your bowels make so loud noises! Keep it up!
This is absolutely helpful .Thank you
Thank you for helping 😊
This helped so much!

Wow thanks! this helped me out so much in order to record some of my videos, subscribed!
Thank you, purchased my first bowl and it sounded tinny and rattlely when struck and wouldn't sing. On closer inspection it had an inch long crack. New bowl and striaght away my daughter and go it singing.
It would help to have a proper sized bowl. Small bowls your size are never used for therapeutic purposes.

I found using the cushion helps loads

I got it now and I was doing the wrist motion. I didn't know how to use the stick
Tanak you very much this is very helpful
Very useful thank you. 🙏🏿🇮🇳
Thanku so grateful for this video so informative 😃👍
Thank You! Namaste 🙏📿
Very informative!!!
A most useful tutorial. Just received my first singing bowl today and was easy to get it singing after a couple of attempts thanks to watching this.
my meditation bowl is working and using it everyday with proper care but i noticed some small crack on the bottom outer surface of my meditation bowl. bit worried
Thank you very much!
did it ! thanks !
good video
Interesting experience. I couldn't get my Tibetan singing bowl to sing. I then used my 528Hz tuning fork from the base chakra to the crown. Tried the bowl again and sang like a bird🐦
Thank you.
thank you sir
Mine only started singing when i used the wooden part
I have a question I know a lot of the crystal singing bowls have to be recharged. Does the metal bowls have to be charged?
💕☺️💕 THANK YOU 💯
My bowl sung great, still rings fine, but I can't get it singing again... I think it's mad at me
Nature world Own Sound...👂
Thank you 💜
Is this to be played by adding water to it?
Thanks 😊❤
Why my sbowl not singing lwhen i put big bracelet
Can it be repaired i think my son hit it hard ,got fractured earlier used to make sound now doesnt
My singing bowl was working..i hit 3 time ...one by one after ..its stopped to singing..its not cracked..i have checked.😔
I just got my new singing bowl, but it's bigger thank yours. Where can I get the exact one you have? Thank you.🙏
Can we place cushion on the table or must keep it on palm?
Also try putting it in a fire or even on top of an electric stove for 30 minutes really worked great for me, it actually happened by accident and I'm happy it did big difference 📿🖖🌼
i have a big 1 but it also may be the striker too the 1 i got with the bowl isnt 1 that is suitable for it too
If it’s been dropped can it be realigned or do I need a new bowl
Same arm movement as stirring a large pot of stew?
I like the design of your bowl and it looks expensive?
I bought one, now I did not know I needed a pad or cushion.
I think one of my bowls arrived fractured is there a way to treat this that you know of? It doesn’t make any vibration sounds at all.
That's not a good feeling...I took an having issues making it sing, it sounds good when I hit with mallet, but it doesn't sing...I shldnt get frustrated but I am...hmmmm
it... still wont work..
When I hit it it sings for a long time but the second I touch it like going in a circle it stops
Held the wooden thing with my palm instead of finger tips and it worked
I dropped mine now its not the same😭 so many scratches 💔
It has a nice vibration went striking the bowl, but the mallet is just wood..is thst ok..and it wont sing for me, im really spiritual too! I dont get it...hmm?
yeah i bought different strikers personally too to be honest cause i am getting a few more different sized bowls too and a Pan drum lol
@@angelrocco2024 a hang drum would sound better 😉
@@carolstapleton9108 yeah i have a tongue drum a small one and im buying actually a fairly big shamanic drum too
or pan drum people call them 1 or the other LOL the sound therapy is good ive shifted off of me alot of blockages and garbage though
it sings when I use the stick part, but it doesn't sing when I use the black tape part of the stick.. why is this??
Same
In the beginning I had the same problem, but after I move all hand, the stick begun tow work other side and louder. Bowl is 11cm.
My mallet is all wood. I believe you are supposed to use the wood
@@Sheryl0110 wood can sound scrape along the bowl but yeah people have different tastes which is fine :)
The spiritual fluff will bring a lot of foolishness into your life. I appreciate your approach.
mine doesnt have that velvet thing around the tip
Mine either
@@rebekahfowler1883 is that normal lol . i got it from amazon
@@sandrinekows amazon also. It works fine, though and after watching this video, I'm immediately better at making my bowl sing!
@@rebekahfowler1883 ahhhh i have to figure it out still. Some days it works then other days not the best. do you have a special technique?
Lol, nothing special. I don't know if I can recreate it again! Just let your shoulder move around the bowl with your hand while stopping your wrist from rotating? Good luck!
You need to love the bowl and get a cat to kiss it; it will work instantly ☺️🐱💗
You don't need to connect with it. 😂 Sorry. That's just funny to me. I work in a metaphysical shop and mess with bowls all day.
Haven't "connected" with any of them.
Great video I to have a channel 😀
Because it’s made for food. That’s why.
Just found out that mine is broken. RIP my money
Ok I subscribed but I can’t focus because he’s too good looking. I’m searching for a female or very ugly man…. Thank you
can a lacquered or painted bowl still sing or does that ruin the friction?
Thank you!
Thank you
still can't manage to make my bowl sing..
Any progress mine also won't play please help if you figured out
I am agitated and irritated after trying for hours
Thank you!
I have two Thadobatis, a 7" & 9". They both sing without a jarring ringing. The mallet is 1.5 x 8.5 My smaller bowl, not sure what kind, is 8.25 x 2.5 and it has that jarring ring on two sides. Perhaps I need a smaller mallet? Thank you for the input without the spiritual fluff, much appreciated.
if youre having trouble try using the striker's wooden side instead ;)
I have all the 7 chakra singing bowls but only two aren’t working for me. When I hit them they make a sound long enough to know there’s no cracks and I use the same stick for all of them. Idk what it could be?
try different types of strikers....
