Are singing bowls dangerous?

Singing bowls are used worldwide for meditation, relaxation, and energy work. Yet, some people wonder if they can have negative effects. Generally, singing bowls are  completely safe , but as with any energetic or therapeutic tool, it's important to know how to use them properly.

Are the vibrations harmful?

The vibrations of a singing bowl penetrate deeply into the body, but are not inherently harmful. Because our bodies are largely made of water, the vibrations can influence the flow of energy and even release tension. This can sometimes lead to temporary fatigue or emotional release, but this is a  natural process through which the body heals. For people with  high sensitivity, certain neurological conditions, or a pacemaker,  it is wise to first test how they respond to the vibrations.

When should you be careful?

Although singing bowls are generally safe, there are a few situations where you should be extra careful:

• During pregnancy : The deep vibrations can have an effect on the body, so consult a specialist before using singing bowls.
• For hearing problems : Some people experience sensitivity to sound. Always test with a soft tone first.
• During meditation or deep relaxation : Singing bowls can release suppressed emotions. This isn't dangerous, but it can feel intense.
