This singing bowl is perfectly sized to fit in your hand, but that doesn’t mean it compromises on sound. Ideal for meditation, sound therapy, spiritual gatherings, or any moment when you wish to create space and generate positive energy. When your brain waves synchronize with the otherworldly sounds, you’ll experience the enhanced creativity and mental clarity that have made Singing Bowls a valued tradition for thousands of years.

Clear your chakras…

Buy it on Etsy ($44.99)

The Four Elements are brought together with the wood from the Palo Santo tree,  an abalone shell from the sea, fire when burning the wood and air as it drifts around your space. These are great as gifts or if you have not used smoke before as a clearing element.

Set your intentions…

Mala beads can be made from gemstones that match the intention of your practice, and often Mala beads are placed in shrines as a reminder of affirmations. Mala beads are also referred to as Buddhist beads.
