Professional quality for home use
As a sound healer, I needed a bowl that could produce therapeutic vibrations without being too large. This 6-inch bowl delivers! It's now my go-to for one-on-one sessions. The included mallet is perfectly weighted.

Great sound but cushion could be thicker
The bowl itself produces a beautiful, clear tone with excellent harmonics. However, the cushion is a bit thin for extended playing sessions. I added my own padding for more comfort. Still an excellent value for the sound quality.
Thank you for your feedback! We've noted your suggestion about the cushion thickness and will consider it for future improvements.

Transforms any space into a sanctuary
I use this bowl to start and end my yoga classes. The 6-inch size is perfect - not too small to get lost, not too large to carry around. The sound fills the room and creates an immediate sense of peace.
The Meru Bowl: The Architect’s Tool for Building Sanctuaries of Sound
The 6-inch singing bowl holds a position of authority in the Tibetan acoustic tradition. It is not merely a larger version of its counterpart; it is the foundational instrument for constructing sacred space. Named for Mount Meru, the axial pillar of the spiritual cosmos, this bowl is engineered to generate the low-frequency bedrock tones upon which immersive healing and collective contemplation are built. For the facilitator, therapist, or dedicated practitioner, the Meru Bowl is the cornerstone of a professional sonic practice.
Part I: The Physics of the Sacred – Why Size and Alloy Are Everything
The Ceremonial Scale (6-Inch Diameter): A Calculated Resonance Chamber This specific diameter is the result of centuries of acoustic empiricism. It is the optimal size for producing therapeutic beta-to-alpha frequency ranges with sufficient acoustic power to fill a room, yet remain controllable by a single practitioner. The larger surface area moves more air, creating a tactile, vibrational field that can be felt physically—a non-negotiable element for effective sound therapy and deep group meditation.
The Alchemy of the Seven Metals: An Ancient Recipe for Sonic Complexity Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron, Tin, Lead, Mercury. This is not mystical speculation but a pre-industrial material science breakthrough. Each metal contributes a distinct harmonic to the alloy’s matrix. When hand-hammered into this scale, the result is a tone with a powerful, grounding fundamental (felt in the lower body) crowned by a luminous cascade of overtones (perceived in the mind). This creates the multi-sensory, “cathedral-esque” soundscape essential for altering states of consciousness and facilitating release.
Part II: The Protocol of Depth – Applications for the Discerning Practitioner
1. For the Sound Healing Professional: The Core of Your Acoustic Toolkit The Meru Bowl’s deep, penetrating frequencies are unmatched for:
Somatic Resonance: Reaching past cognitive barriers to release deep-seated muscular tension and calm the nervous system.
Group Sound Bath Facilitation: Its expansive sound field uniformly envelops multiple participants, creating a cohesive, shared experience.
Ritual Anchoring: Marking the beginning and end of ceremonies with a tone that physically shifts the energy in a space.
2. For the Advanced Personal Practice: Building Your Inner Sanctuary
Deep Grounding Meditation: Its low hum is an unparalleled anchor for Vipassana or mindfulness, effortlessly pulling awareness into the present body.
Home Space Clearing: A single, sustained play can reset the acoustic and energetic quality of a large living area or studio.
Yoga Nidra & Deep Relaxation: The vibrations guide the brain into theta states, facilitating profound rest and subconscious integration.
Part III: Heirloom Craftsmanship – The Hallmarks of a Professional Instrument
Hand-Hammered Integrity: Each of the thousands of hammer strikes tunes the crystalline structure of the seven-metal alloy, ensuring harmonic purity and a sustain lasting over 90 seconds—a benchmark of quality.
Curated, Weighted Mallet: Included is a heavier, professionally balanced mallet designed to fully engage the bowl’s mass with minimal effort, producing a rich, continuous tone without fatigue.
Stability Engineered: The accompanying cushion is designed for absolute stability on any floor during vigorous play, a critical detail for professional use.
Part IV: For the Custodian of Sacred Atmosphere
The Meru Bowl is Your Essential Instrument If You:
Facilitate group healing, meditation, or yoga sessions and require tools that command space and focus attention.
Are a therapist integrating non-verbal, somatic modalities into your work.
Have a personal practice that has outgrown beginner tools and demands an instrument with the depth and power to match your inner journey.
