Since the CD Golden Bowls came out, I've bought a number of copies ... two for myself and the others for friends. While I've purchased other CDs of Tibetan music, none comes close to this in the serene otherworldly tones produced as the bowls resonate. Golden Bowls is perfect for meditation. When the world is closing in or I'm anxious and ungrounded, all I have to do is stretch out and listen to the deeply vibrating tones of the bowls as they're struck one by one. They take me to a transcendent place where I seem to float above my body and mind.

Far removed from the airy fairy banality of much new age music, Karma Moffett's 'Golden Bowls' manages to preserve the depth and spirituality of Tibetan bell music without diluting its essence. For meditation, relaxation, or any other quiet moments, this is a classic of the genre.

I call this my tonal wallpaper for meditation. It has a healing quality of its own and just to sit with it is a gift. For a meditational inner journey it is one of the best accompaniments. There are several titles by this artist that I enjoy a great deal, but this is my favorite.

I agree with the first reviewer's assessment about this being ideal for meditation. I would add that the sound of the bells is very well recorded and that if you have a good music system you are going to hear beautiful vibrations from the bells that caress the soul.

Karma Moffett's Golden Bowls is really an extraordinary CD. I have been researching sound healing for a few years now (see sound healing posts on holistic divorce counseling dot com for more information). While there are an abundance of options in this genre, and many sound pleasing, this is the only one that truly resonates in your body. I felt it on a cellular level. By adjusting the volume, you can increase or decrease the intensity of your experience.

Last fall, while in Burlington, VT, I had the opportunity to experience a personal sound massage. The practitioner used a gong, tuning forks, and a variety of crystal bowls. This CD is just as good and it costs a pittance.

Unlike other meditation music the Golden Bowls sound is purely the bowls, with all of their perfect sound untouched. I tried to find more meditation music but was disappointed with the add-ons that people try like, birds or space-age beeps or whatnot.
This is just the bowls. That's all you need because they are unlike almost anything else I've ever heard. You can tune right in and easily drop into meditation with this playing in the background.

The singing bowls definitely strike a chord, and this is the best I've heard.

Karma Moffett has created several wonderful albums of his Tibetan Bells. This is the first and maybe that is why it is my favorite. Tranquility Bells and Chakra Bells are also wonderful. There is no better music for the practice of meditation, for healing work, yoga, or where ever you wish to experience transcendance. Visit his website for information on his other works. This recording is special.

Anyone who likes Tibetan Bells should get this CD. The clarity and harmony
of the bells are awesome.

This is simply heavenly, relaxing music which I use when I want to decompress or meditate or relax. It has a deep calming effect. Enjoy!

Golden Bowls allows you to think and feel beyond the present. It has an ethereal, calming affect, even if you are awake, focused on a task, driving, etc. It will not overcome your sensory perceptions, unless you allow it to; if you do choose to focus on it, you will experience the tonal vibrations presented through this medium of sound transfer, which seems to increase acuity.
