Question: Does playing a Tibetan singing bowl have a healing power? How? How can it affect one's health, mental and?
physical health?

Answers:

The overtone vibrations created by the bowl have an effect on consciousness similar to binaural frequencies that change the brain wave patterns. As far as health goes...Im not sure about how it effects health. True singing bowls are made from special mixtures of alloys to get a certain overtone sound out of them. The sound of the alloyed bowls contains many tones in one sound, like a rainbow contains many bands of light in one ray.

Psychobenzaprene lacks an understanding of the science behind how the brain interprets certain sonic frequencies. He also lacks a source with proof for his claims.

Heres a source with citations for proof that binaural frequencies have an observable effect on the brain.

The Tibetans are famous for the sound of their metal works, especially the bells, singing bowls and small cymbals (called tingsha). They are extremely perfected to make the sound clear and long-lasting, and the artisans (often monks) are said to use alloys of up to 90 different, meticulously balanced metals to make the sound as perfect as humanly possible.

Originally, however, the so called singing bowl has nothing to do neither with Buddhist rituals, nor with healing. In fact it was nothing but a food bowl, usually wooden, but sometimes made from brass.

This is for instance what the Swiss tibetologist Martin Brauen wrote about the singing bowls in his very interesting book "Dream World Tibet, Western illusions":

"A Tibetan ritual instrument", that is neither Tibetan nor does it have a ritual origin: the so called "singing bowl". In fact we are talking of a dish that is used in the Nepali and Indian Himalayas (eg area of Manipur). Its beautiful sound must have inspired a smart businessman. Since then the bowls are sold in Kathmandu and the Western World as Tibetan ritual instruments.



No.

There is no such thing as "binaural beats", magical vibrational frequencies and/or mystic crystal chakra realignment. Listening to some Tibetan bullfrog belching his guts out for an hour straight will NOT improve your health, and might actually *decrease* your social standing (especially if you live in an apartment).
