Singing bowls are idiophones that have been used in meditation and sound therapy for thousands of years. The Calm Wisdom Singing Bowl is handcrafted in Nepal by artisans whose singing bowl casting knowledge is vast and generational. The bowl is inscribed both on the inside and outside in Tibetic with the Buddhist chant, "Om Mani Padme Hum," which boasts a syllable that focuses on each of the practices of Buddhism from generosity to wisdom. The chant is said to focus the individual on achieving perfection in each practice and bringing one to a purer existence. The Yin Yang on the under side of the bowl remind us to seek balance-that life is most fulfilling when we embrace the dark with the light, the difficult seasons with the joyous.
