SINGING BOWL MAGIC

A Special Report by Lillian Too

The Magical Purification of Space with Sound

Transforming & Enhancing Energy With Sound
In feng shui we believe that everything – buildings,
gardens, mountains and the rooms in your house – all
have their own energy and sound... but this can change
instantly depending on the chi that surrounds them at
any given time. In this report, we’ll address the magic of
metallic sounds going deeper into the dimension of sound
for space enhancement and space protection.

We use sound to overcome obstacles and cleanse and remove heavy or negative energy from
our living or working space and even our gardens... to lighten the energy – especially if a
variety of people or events may have caused the space to become heavy and unbalanced. And
done correctly, the local spirits and spiritual landlords will also be appeased!

For centuries people have carried on the ancient practice of using various tools of sound to
soothe and change the energy of any living space... temple bells, drums, gongs, singing bells
and singing bowls to name but a few. One of the methods I like best is the singing bowl.

Transforming & Enhancing Energy With Sound

In feng shui, use of the singing bowl has many benefits:
- To transform and clear inauspicious energies.
- To enhance existing good energy of your living space To activate the element energies of
certain directions and corners.
- To soothe the vibrations of the living space and create harmony.

In fact, after a space clearing has been done properly with a singing bowl, most people feel
happier in the house because the humming tone of the bowl is quite peaceful and relaxing.

 Choosing and Caring for Your Singing Bowl:
Singing bowls are usually round in shape and each is
individually hand made using seven different metals.
They come in various sizes, but actually the size of the
bowl is not so important. Choosing the singing bowl
you like is a matter of personal preference – just
make sure that you try out a few and select one
that has affinity with you. Certain bowls,
properly made, will “sing” at the correct pitch
and are excellent for transforming chi in any

finger or rubbing it will create a beautiful sound.

The quality of the sound is determined by the thickness of the rim of the bowl and the depth
of the bowl. The shape of the bowl itself plays an important part as far as feng shui is
concerned as it captures and traps all the bad energy and transforms it into good sheng chi
luck energy.

The seven metals used are tin, copper, zinc, iron, lead, silver
and gold, each representing a different planet. Gold represents
the sun and ultimate yang energy while silver is the moon and
yin energy. Copper represents Venus, iron represents Mars, tin
represents Jupiter, lead represents Saturn and zinc is Mercury.
The silver and gold represent the union of yin and yang within
the bowl.

The special harmony of sound created as you strike the singing

bowl symbolically cleanses all the space touched by the sound
bringing yin and yang into perfect balance. So, when you do this
there is no risk of excessive yin or yang energy in the home.

With this new balance of energy in your home or office, people living there feel more balanced
themselves, less frenetic and more flexible... everyone moves at a more even pace. So, using
sound to bring yin and yang into balance creates many benefits.

The singing of the bowl also helps to bring yang essence into the heart of your living space or
office and over time your singing bowl will respond to your own intrinsic energy. Therefore it’s
important to always keep your singing bowl wrapped in soft material like silk or velvet and of
course to use it often to keep it in tune with the inherent vibrations of the living space.

How To Use A Singing Bowl:

Getting To Know You...
The first thing to do is get to know your singing bowl because
every bowl has a slightly different sound and soon you will
notice how every space and environment causes the bowl to
resonate differently. In addition your own energy, which could
change at any moment, will cause the bowl to sound different
at different times.

A SPECIAL REPORT FROM LILLIAN TOO PAGE 3

 First place the singing bowl on its small cushion on your left palm (upturned) and just hold it
for a minute. Placing the bowl on the small round cushion as you carry it around improves and
actually purifies the sound of the bowl causing it to ring on for a longer period of time. Feel
the weight of the bowl in your hands and let it sit comfortably there. Now, take the wooden or
metal mallet and gently strike the rim with it. Everyone hears a different sound... maybe a
humming or singing kind of sound, or a very deep sound. Keep trying it... you’ll love all the
different sounds as you experiment with the sound and vibrations. It takes some time but with
practice you will become very proficient.

When you purify a room or space on a regular basis, the

sounds emitted each day will become clearer and sharper as
they reflect the energy of the surrounding space. As you
continue your practice you will become more aware of these
Important Note: subtle changes.

Other Methods Of Making Your Bowl “Sing”

Here’s another way to make the bowl “sing”: rub the mallet around the rim of the bowl in a
clockwise direction and keep a firm tension on the mallet as the humming sound increases. If
it doesn’t sing this way, then try striking the bowl first to wake it up and then rub the rim.
Remember the important thing is to maintain the tension of the mallet against the rim of the
bowl and to press firmly and evenly. With practice you will become very good at making your
bowl “sing” and you’ll be amazed at the beauty of the sounds that you can create.

Another thing you might like to try is to add a small amount

of water to your singing bowl to see if you like the different
sounds that this creates. The tones will change as you add
more water so just experiment and decide what particular
tone feels best to you and has affinity with the space your
are clearing. Try rubbing the rim with the mallet and also
striking the rim gently to see which produces the sounds
you like with water in the bowl. Try rubbing the rim with the mallet.

As you continue to use your singing bowl you’ll become more familiar with it and start to
recognize the vibrations and tones and how they can change within seconds from being
unharmonious to a beautiful humming sound. The sound made by the bowl will balance the
surrounding chi and once this happens the bowl will “sing” and send out a nice humming
sound that is very soothing for everyone.

 The Space Clearing Ritual
First Refresh the Energy
Begin by opening all the windows of your home (or as
many as possible) and turning on overhead fans if you
have them. The outside air flowing in helps to refresh
the energy inside the rooms of your home. Leave the
windows open for about an hour...and of course it’s best
to choose a nice sunny day so that fresh yang energy

invigorated by the sunshine can enter and move slowly
throughout your living space. If it’s raining outside, don’t
worry because that works too – the air is clear after being purified and energized by the rain.

For a very thorough cleansing you may want to open the doors of
your storerooms, closets and kitchen cupboards to let the stale air
out and the good fresh clean air in. When this is completed,
symbolically cleanse all the surfaces using a white cloth soaked in
water that has been left out in the sun. Wipe down the surfaces of
your doors, windows and furniture and even your floors.
Let the stale air out of cupboards.
Now Use The Singing Bowl
Focus your mind and concentrate clearly on what you are doing. Before you begin and
throughout the process, I recommend that you visualize the negative energy in the room being
absorbed by the bowl and being transformed into positive energy. Normally I do the singing
bowl only after purifying my space with incense and smoke to appease the spirits... you can
certainly begin the singing bowl practice before doing your incense clearing practice... it’s
entirely up to you.

Stay close to the walls to unstuck
negative energy from them.
With the bowl on the cushion of your left hand strike the
bowl 3 times as you enter the room. This establishes the
ringing sounds, which will progressively purify the existing
vibrations of the room. Listen carefully to the sound and
follow its resonance. As the sound dies, strike the rim again
and keep doing this as you move around the room. Be sure
to stay close to the walls of each room so that any negative
energy that may be stuck on the walls will be loosened and
then purified by the sounds from your singing bowl.

A SPECIAL REPORT FROM LILLIAN TOO PAGE 5

 Move in a clockwise direction around each room. For space purification you are trying to
achieve a continuous clear sound or humming as you move clockwise around each room.

As you do this, chant the following mantra:

“NAMAH SARVA TATHAGATHA

AVALOKITE OM SAMBHARA
SAMBHARA HUNG”

Chanting this mantra means that each time you strike the singing bowl blessings emanate from
the singing bowl in many directions.

Try to start in a location in your home that will allow you to move in a clockwise direction,
room-to-room around your entire apartment or home, and try to maintain the clear or humming
sound throughout – don’t stop tapping the bowl as you finish each room but continue tapping
as you move from room to room. When you come to a window or a door, circle around it three
times with the bowl to reinforce the clearing process.

When you undertake space clearing and purification on a regular basis you will feel an instant
and amazing difference in the energy of your home or office. Your spirits will be uplifted and
the energy of the house will seem “lighter”... everyone will have more of a relaxed easy-going
feeling once the heavy and unbalanced energy has been transformed.

The sounds you produce from the singing bowl are very fine and pure which also creates fresh
growth energy in your home or office. This wonderful ritual benefits you and all family
members so I highly recommend that you start today and make this a regular addition to your
feng shui practice.
