How to play a singing bowl
- Hold it
Rest the bowl on its cushion, or on the flat palm of your open hand. Keep your fingers off the sides so it can ring.
- Strike it
Hold the mallet like a pen and tap the outer rim gently with the padded end. Then listen until the sound fades.
- Circle it
Press the mallet against the outer rim and move it slowly around the bowl with even pressure until the tone builds.
- If it rattles
Press a little firmer and circle a little slower. The bowl will settle back into its song.
