the singing bowl is a metal bowl, struck by a mallet, often used in spiritual or religious settings to invoke meditation or relaxation through the resounding vibrations and pleasant sounds it emanates when played. the sounds the singing bowls produce are said to create a kind of energy that may center the frequencies of the body, mind and soul. playing these bowls has also been said to cause the left and right sides of the brain to synchronize together, creating a peace and calm during meditation.
