Details
Singing bowls, traditionally made of a seven-metal alloy in Tibetan Buddhist practice, produce a sustained harmonic tone when struck or circled with a mallet. In modern Feng Shui, they are used for 'space clearing' — a room-by-room sound cleansing that disperses accumulated stagnant or negative energy. The practitioner walks clockwise through each room while playing the bowl, paying special attention to corners (where energy collects) and above doorways. The bowl's resonance is particularly effective in rooms that feel 'heavy' — after arguments, illness, or long periods of vacancy. While not a classical Feng Shui object, its integration into Western Feng Shui has been widely published since the 1990s.
