How to Heal with Singing Bowls: Traditional Tibetan Healing Methods [Paperback]

Suren Shrestha (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 16, 2009

No book on the market has the detailed, step-by-step instructions for ancient Tibetan healing bowl techniques that this one has. The healing methods are all illustrated with photographs showing how to place and strike the bowls, so that anyone can learn how to do it. Some of these methods have been taught to only a few Eastern practitioners, and are now spreading to the West where there is considerable interest in them.

Editorial Reviews

Review

I use Tibetan singing bowls in my practice and have found them to have profound effects on my patients. I applaud Mr. Shrestha for bringing forth and sharing such valuable information with the public, especially in this how-to format that is rarely seen in books of this nature. (I use Tibetan singing bowls )

About the Author

Suren Shrestha Suren Shrestha was born in Nepal, forty-five miles southeast of Mt. Everest. In the village where he grew up, people were healed by herbalists, monks and medicine men using shamans' drums, gongs, and mantras. At age fifteen, he came to the United States, later attended college, and received a B.S. in Civil Engineering. In 1999, he began his own business, Serenity Tibet, in Boulder, Colorado, where he lives with his wife and daughter. Noting the growing interest in alternative medicine in the US, Suren returned to Nepal to learn how to practice ancient healing techniques that use sound and vibration. He was taught these by Tibetan monks and the yogi Tahalkishor Maharaj. Suren has given workshops and assisted clients with healing bowl work in the Rocky Mountain region and all over the United States. He is raising funds through his teaching to build an orphanage for the homeless children in his native village.

Today I received my copy of How to Heal with Singing Bowls. I didn't expect a CD to be included. That's a bonus and an excellent one too. I went at once and listened to the CD. It is a practical guide, step by step and easily followed. After an initial listening I gathered my five bowls and tried to follow along. As I had to determine their tuning this was only partially successful. I have now worked out their tuning. I really need two more bowls to complete the range that is desirable, but explanations are given how to work with just one bowl. Also the care of the bowls is explained and how to work with them to achieve best results. This is a very clear, comprehensive and practical text, with good photos and illutrations. I am delighted with the book and thank Suren Shrestha and everyone involved in bringing about this text. I expect to find great benefit and hope to help others benefit using with the methods described so well. The bowls themselves, so individual, are a joy to hold and hear. I am now going to order another copy for family members far away.

Alternative methods of healing have always held an interest for me but it's not always easy to tell which methods have a genuine impact on the body and which are just popular new ideas. I bought Shrestha's book so that I could better understand the benefits of using the bowls and was pleased to find that the book not only explained the need for singing bowls but also how to effectively use them for healing. The CD that accompanied it made it easy to follow along and the detailed pictures took the guess work out of where to place the bowls. For such a short book I was extremely impressed by the amount of information provided.

I had never heard of singing bowls before, but I came across this title while searching for books on Buddhist meditation. I found the book really helpful in understanding singing bowls as an alternative method of healing. The photos and illustrations were particularly helpful and I was also really glad to find that it came with a CD. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting to know more about how to heal with Tibetan singing bowls.
