The Bowls can be used around or on a client by a trained therapist, and there are many different techniques that can also be used when playing the Bowls during a therapy session. The bowls mainly available today are made from a combination of gold, silver, copper, lead, mercury, tin and iron. The bowls come in varying sizes from the tiny machine made Japanese bowls with their high pitched beautiful sounds to the very large and older style bowls which deeply resonate when played.
They are made of between 5 - 9 different metals, and this is why they sing so beautifully when struck of played. Many of the older and more ancient bowls were actually hand beaten, but today more modern bowls alas are more machine made.
Using these bowls during a healing session is a truly relaxing and special experience. Therapists can work with the bowls in different ways, they can be played around and over you, they can be placed directly onto your body and played or occasionally struck. The therapist also has many other ways of incorporating different sounds when using the bowls. One of these is by using their mouth as a cavity for the sound of the bowls, this creates its own almost out of this world sound, this can be used to remove stubborn energy blockages.
