Singing Bowls and Chakras

Singing bowls are not only beautiful musical instruments, but have been used for centuries for meditation, relaxation, and healing.
Each singing bowl produces a unique tone that can resonate with the energy centers in our body, also known as chakras. In this article, we delve deeper into which tone belongs to which chakra and how you can measure this with the N-Track Tuner app.
