What to Expect From a Tibetan Singing Bowl Session

Tibetan singing bowls have become a familiar image in wellness spaces, but most people who’ve seen one have never experienced a session. Here’s a plain explanation, without the mysticism.

What they are

Handcrafted bowls, traditionally made from metal alloys, that produce a sustained tone and harmonic overtones when struck or rubbed with a mallet. Placed on or near the body, the vibration is physical as well as audible: you feel it in a way you don’t with recorded music.

What a session is like

You lie down, comfortably dressed, and you don’t have to do anything. The practitioner plays the bowls around you, and sometimes places them on or near your body. Many people describe the experience as calm and restful. Everyone’s experience is different.

Who tends to come

People looking for a quiet hour in a busy week, people who find seated meditation difficult, and the simply curious. No experience is needed.

Where to experience it

At Arna Holistic Wellness, a Tibetan singing bowl sound bath is offered as a private, one-to-one session in Mauritius, no experience needed.
