The Shanti Gold Singing Bowl takes its name from the Sanskrit word “Śānti” — meaning peace, tranquility, and inner stillness.
This name beautifully reflects the bowl’s purpose: to bring calm to the mind and harmony to the spirit through sound and vibration.

Each Shanti Singing Bowl is hand-hammered by artisans in Tibet using traditional techniques that have been refined over centuries.
Its golden tones are rich and enduring — resonating with both brightness and depth, creating a peaceful atmosphere ideal for Buddhist meditation, mindfulness, and sound healing.

The Shanti Gold Bowl has a matt exterior and polished golden interior, its flared form producing a long, shimmering sustain.
This balance of aesthetic beauty and acoustic clarity makes it one of the most popular and versatile bowls in the Sacred Essence collection.

Each Shanti Tibetan Buddhist Singing Bowl is a work of mindful craftsmanship — shaped entirely by hand using the ancient beaten metal technique.
This process begins by melting copper, tin, and trace noble metals into a sacred alloy representing the cosmic balance of seven planetary energies.

The molten metal is poured and cut into circular discs, which are then heated to red-hot and hammered in layers by skilled Tibetan artisans.
The rhythmic beating process, repeated dozens of times, creates not only the shape of the bowl but also its inner voice — a tone that embodies the word Shanti itself.

Once the final form is achieved, each bowl is smoothed, chiseled, and polished to reveal its golden interior.
The outer surface retains a matte, hand-finished texture — grounding its radiance in simplicity and authenticity.

Every Shanti bowl has its own sound signature — a balance of high clarity and deep resonance that lingers beautifully in the air.
Its peaceful vibration has long been used in Buddhist practice to accompany meditation, prayer, and energy work, restoring harmony to body, mind, and spirit.

How to Play a Singing Bowl

  1. Hold the Bowl: Rest it on your open palm, allowing it to vibrate freely.
  2. Strike the Rim: Tap the bowl lightly with the striker to begin the tone.
  3. Circle the Rim: Move the striker slowly and evenly around the edge for continuous resonance.
  4. Experiment: Vary pressure and speed to find different tones and harmonics.
  5. Listen: Let the sound draw your awareness inward — from thought into silence.

Every Shanti bowl responds uniquely, teaching presence through rhythm and reflection.

About the Striker (Beater)

The included striker is designed to suit the bowl’s mid-sized dimensions, creating bright, sustained tones.
Wooden strikers bring clarity, while suede- or felt-tipped ends soften the sound to a gentle hum.
Larger mallets may be used to draw out the bowl’s lower, more meditative tones.
