This is a Tibetan singing bowl.

It has a few different sounds.

This was the loudest one.

If you feel like it,

You can spend some time just sitting here listening.

If you get distracted,

Just focus on your breath and return to the sound.

Spend some time relaxing,

Just leaning into this sound.
