Using Tibetan Singing Bowls for Stress Relief

By , About.com GuideJune 19, 2012

Follow me on:

Long used by Buddhist monks in meditation practice, Tibetan singing bowls are said to offer powerful healing properties. Proponents claim that by playing Tibetan singing bowls (a type of bell that vibrates and produces a deep, rich tone) can help lessen stress and "balance the body's energy system."

Very few scientific studies have tested the health benefits of Tibetan singing bowls, despite their long history of use. However, some research suggests that using Tibetan singing bowls may have a stress-reducing, pain-alleviating effect on people with chronic pain.

Although there is little scientific support for the healing effects of Tibetan singing bowls, integrating the use of such bowls may help enhance the relaxing effects of stress management techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and guided imagery. Studies show that, by lessening your stress, each of these activities may help boost your overall wellbeing. Read the article: Tibetan Singing Bowls - What You Need to Know.
