Tibetan singing bowls

Mar 02, 2008

The Tibetan bowl class was interesting. It was both spiritual, relaxing, and a physical work out. You work in pairs and hit the bowls with padded mallets, to make them ring and vibrate. They are laid out around your partner who is on a mat on the floor. It’s a lot of moving around. Funny how so many of the Eastern spiritual practices use both body,mind and spirit; yoga, ti-chi, martial arts in general. Yes, many of them have been brought to the West and made into something more mundane, more physical and less spiritual, but the original intent was for the practice to help develop all of a person. All includes your body, as well as your spirit. I like being able to move and pray at the same time. I guess I’m just not a stand-still kind of person, not in anyway.
