Amazon.com Review

Dutch singing bowl and mandala expert Anneke Huyser has written a useful and inspirational compendium on brass Himalayan singing bowls. While noting that singing bowl healing research is in its infancy, she provides the information one needs to begin collecting and using these exotic musical meditation aids for personal harmony. Beginning with the simple act of listening, Huyser guides the reader through 12 exercises to find ones own basic tone and choose a bowl to match that frequency. Identifying planet and chakra tones, combining tonal therapy with color therapy, and giving a singing bowl sound massage are also covered. Clearly a spiritual seeker, her personal philosophies concerning the use of the bowls make this book a good value for anyone interested in inner growth. Whether or not one decides to buy a singing bowl after reading this photo- and poem-graced treatise is of secondary importance. --P. Randall Cohan

4.0 out of 5 stars more than sounds, September 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Singing Bowl Exercises for Personal Harmony (Paperback)

This is one of the few singing bowls' books I know, the information in it, is clear, even for "beginners".
The practice and explanations on how to play the bowls and their repercutions in our mind and body are well explained.
It has several pictures of diferents singing bowl sizes, their tones for healing and harmonize, the mind, body and "spirit".
I recomend it as much as other good book written by Eva Judy Jansen.

This book discusses how sound effects your body. And shows you to use the sound from Singing Bowls for healing. It also discuses their makeup and how each metal is supposed to affect a person. My most informative Singing Bowl book so far.

This review is from: Singing Bowl Exercises for Personal Harmony (Paperback)

If you have never used singing bowls before and haven't a clue where to start, this book is for you and can provide useful and clear information to get you going. If you are looking for more detailed information on this instrument's history and uses, without new-agey interpretations, there may be other places to look.
