Singing Bowls: The Healing Sound
We live in difficult times, so relaxation can only be good. The age-old technique of sound therapie, which is based on resonance vibrations, has recently come into focus. Too esoteric? Testing is above studying. And maybe a nice christmas present too…
„Imagine trowing a stone in to a lake and it creates concentric waves. This is what happens in your body during a sound massage.“This is how Jana Hess, who is now in the second generation of the family business Hess Klangkonzepte, explains the effect of the singing bowls. Our body is made of 70-80% of fluids. The vibrations create concentric waves in these fluids.
The bowl sings “ommmmm”
Singing bowls are bulbous or flat, large or small, made of different metal alloys. Depending on which tones you create by rubbing or hitting and on which part of the body they are to be placed. There are Bengali, Himalaya, Assam-. Nepal or Zen singing bowls, to name a few. Five to seven precious metals are used for production, which are also equated with the planets in our galaxy: lead (Saturn), tin (Jupiter), iron (Mars), copper (Venus), silver (moon) and gold (sun). The size and proportions of the different metals determine the tone, vibration and quality of the sound. A science in itself and an exciting topic, because the resonance vibrations of the elaborately manufactured bowls compensate for the body’s own vibrations. They are now used in both private and therapeutic areas.
International attention
Also internationally, especially in Los Angeles, where new “health trends” are constantly being created, the “singing bowls” are currently attracting special attention. Above all Gwyneth Paltrow, who always has her ear on the pulse of the times, especially when it comes to physical and mental health. On her platform goop she talks to her soulmate, the singer and songwriter Jhené Aiko, about the power of sound healing and especially the singing bowls. Therapy with singing bowls is an ancient form of regeneration. The first metal alloy bowls were used in the Far East 6000 years ago. The sound and the vibrations release tension and promote body detoxification. Both halves of the brain are harmonized. Emotions calm down, the mind becomes clear. Long after the sound has faded, the vibrations of the sound have a positive effect on the body.

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it.

But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
