This guided meditation introduces the resonant sound of a Tibetan singing bowl. According to Tibetan oral tradition, the existence of singing bowls dates back to 560-480 BC. Singing bowls produce sounds that can invoke a deep state of relaxation and naturally assist the meditation process. In their simplest form, sounds are vibrations that ripple through the air and provide human beings with a vital way of communicating with our own nervous system. As you listen to the sound of the Tibetan bowl in this practice, you may find that the mind starts to focus on its resonance and tone, and by doing so, the general chatter of the mind starts to quieten. Use this sound as an anchor to your present experience, while you let the mind and body soften into a state of pure contentment.
