    Thankyou so much! I bought my bowl in Brunswick Heads a week ago and couldn't get it to sing. Neither could my friend who has her own singing bowl and is far more experienced than me. The first time I was able to make my bowl sing brought tears to my eyes ... I still have some practice to be consistent with the tones but it works beautifully thanks to this tutorial!!! Yay and thanks again!

    Thank you. I've had my bowl for a few years and only have been able to work with it to sign 2 times. I couldn't figure out what the heck I was doing wrong. You helped me figure out that I needed to put my whole arm into it. I love the sound now.

I now connected with my singing bowl and use it daily thanks to you. I have a 4 inch brass singing bowl which I purchased from Silent Mind. Keep up the amazing job! I am subscribed, have hit the like button and bell notifications are turned on! Thank you once again . Namaste’!

    My singing bowl will sing using the wooden part but the sound would completely stop when I use the male part or won’t sing at all using the suede part. Have you ever heard of this ?

    • @mwnanii
      @mwnanii 3 роки тому +10

      I found the same to be true with mine also. From the first day I received it. Then by chance I used the wooden end instead of the suede end. The bowl started singing. The other thing is that it won’t sing if I use the cushion. But if I hold it in the palm of my hand and let the bowl warm to my touch, it will sing beautifully.

    Yesterday 6/28/22, my best friend bought me a 4 in. singing bowl for my birthday, which was last week. For the last 2 hpurs, I have been trying to get my bowl to sing (and couldn't). I was beginning to think it was not a real, but a decorative singing bowl.
    I watched a few videos on how to make it sing. This video was the 4th video I watched (why your bowl is Not singing). I realized I was not holding my hand Completely Flat! Even though I hadn't been touching the bowl with my fingers while holding it in palm, my center of my palm was too cupped, not "flat" enough to enable a continuous tone.
    In the video, when you started making your bowl sing (after demonstrating how flat to hold your hand), my bowl immedistrly started SINGING LOUDLY along with yours in Perfect Harmony!!! I wanted to shout in Happiness and call my friend and at that moment I noticed my singing bowl's tone started to lower. I then took a breath and concentrated on being thankful to this bowl for "connecting" with me. The tone came back Up and this bowl sung so Loudly!
    I am both amazed and humbled. I will now call my friend and thank her once again for this awesome gift.
    Thank You for sharing this video with us!!! 🙌🏾

Tip #4 was where I was going wrong... just a shame I'm doing this immediately after a particular gruelling arm day and can only keep it up for a short while (plus it's a big bowl, so that ain't helping my burning arms much)! But it works, the bowl sounds like the bassy drone I hoped for, and I'm chuffed.
    (Also, thank you for the no-fluff approach. Much appreciated!)

    You know that last 'secret' way to get to know your singing bowl to help it sing, is so important. As I've added to my collection of bowls I've realised this more and more. If I've even been away from home and left mine for a few days or more, they are 'cold' towards me when I resume playing. (Sometimes mine travel with me, heavy as they are, so we can continue our relationship!). And each bowl has its own unique personality and character. Learn about it. 'Converse' by playing it often, and really listen to what it tells you. It will talk to you, and when it's happy it will sing.... and sing...... 🙏

    I have had my bowl since Aoril and it was playing perfectly until about an hour ago. It has not been dropped. I tried striking the side as he suggested in the video and it still rang beautifully. Then I decided to wipe the bowl and mallet with a nice soft cloth. Sound began to return but not as loud as previously. Then I rang my fingernail around the indented rings of the bowl and it improved even more. I saw black dirty substance on the nail and that might have been part of the problem.
    He mentions connecting with the bowl and just maybe the bowl is telling me it like myself can be tired!🤣

    I just got my small bowl today and found out I cannot get it to sing from the suede side of the mallet but from the wooden side I can. Also, your reason # 4, from my lack of experience, I assume depends on the bowl. I discovered that I can create two different tone sounds from two different angles. I higher pitch from the rim with mallet at an angle and a lower pitch from below the rim with straight vertical position.

    One thing I have noticed about people in general is that they cannot see what their own bodies are doing. It’s as if they are disconnected from their bodies and I realized this is mainly because they rely too much on their social skills. They cannot shut up long enough to comprehend how to use their hands to do anything. Anyway, if they put duck tape on their mouth, ear plugs stuffed in their ears, and blinders on the side of their heads to train them to take the time to look at their own body movements for a week or so then maybe they will understand how to use their hands with real purpose.
