Tibetan Singing bowls are basically a corruption of the word Himalayan Singing Bowls. That is what they were originally known as but I guess European liberals have a love for anything anti establishment and revolutionary. So there, Himalayan turned into Tibetan as it sounded better and artsy.
Plus its easy to sell when you can add Tibetan to anything since people of this region are the stereotypical under dogs. Its not that they are not, they absolutely need all relief and help. But there is no denying that the stuff sells better.
Tibetan singing bowls have been traditionally made in Tibet cuz thats how they were known but now even Nepal is emerging as one fo the top producers of “Tibetan” Singing Bowl.
These bowls when stuck with its mallet emit a natural harmonic sweet and pleasing to the senses sound which the yoga performing hippie loves to the hilt.
There fore you have left liberals and tantric people who are mostly nature worshipers use this to produce a sweet but sharp gong sound like effects.
Generally the club would have a gathering where the members would stretch and listen to this sound. And if the event happens outdoors next to a beach or ocean front property, its even better.
