Be mindfull that the feet do not touch the rim of the bowl. hand-hammered singing bowlsbeaten or hand hammered singing bowls are made by way of a complete hand hammering process. Every single singing bowl is carefully hand beaten which requires several processes to finish up and shape it into a perfect hand hammered singing bowl. in the making process first the various composition of metals as raw materials are melted in furnace depending on manufacturing needs such as for the making of bronze singing bowls or for seven metal singing bowls. The hot melted metal is removed from the furnace and poured into dice to prepare a metal mould for the various sizes and weights. Then the round metal moulds are cut into round metal discs in required size and thickness. After that these discs are hand beaten or hammered after precise measurement and categorised for weight and sized bowls. regarding the hand hammering process of singing bowls 4 to 5 metal discs are piled up one on top of the other and then heated to red-hot. The red-hot metal sheets are then hammered by a group of expert artisans as long as the heat remains in the metal and then again processed to red-hot heating for a continuous beating process. This heating and beating  of the bundled and piled up metal discs continues until a desired shape and size is formed. (that is why the hammered or beaten singing bowls will be proportionately different in size and diameter with each individual singing bowl.) during the hammering process of these singing bowls the metal disc can only be hammered during the time of being red-hot while it remains soft and flexible. Because when the metal gets colder it will lose its softness and flexibility which in turn makes the metal brittle and thus the bowl could be ruined. The reason behind this intensive working process is that the metal content (bronze or seven metals mixture) is very sensitive to heat and gets harder when it loses its hot temperature and will get cracks and break.   product compositionhandmade singing bowl made from copper tin and 8 noble metals (ag ni cd ru pd pt cr mn). chakras chakras are subtle energy points literally called energy wheels. They function as places of energy exchange. In fact we have hundreds of chakra points spread throughout our subtle energy system. However the most well-known are the seven main chakras which are connected in the central energy channel of our body which runs along our spine. When the chakras function properly these centres are gateways for vital life energy that enters our body through channels (nadis) and meridians through our subtle body. At the same time they are also vanishing points for low-frequency energy to flow back to the subtle bodies that are being transformed. Each of the seven major chakras represents a level of consciousness or developmental stage of life viewed from the perspective of our physical existence. Chakras may function less when they are in a negative state for a long time due to negative habits and accumulated emotions. This makes it difficult for the personality to fully integrate the level of consciousness that each chakra represents. When the chakras are open and in balance they form an integrated system in which each chakra is dependent on the others for optimal function. flower of life symbolthe flower of life is one of the standard and most powerful symbols in nature in sacred geometry.
