Apply gentle pressure as to not muffle the vibrations. ♥ Some people are naturals and others need a bit of practice to get the hang of it. ♥ So as with most things...PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! :) Meaning of the Tibetan Symbols on our Singing Bowls: ♥ Om Mani Padme Hum Circle This symbol is perfect for those on the path of finding wisdom and compassion. This rhythmic mantra is used to express the desire to seek enlightenment and love through each syllable. It is said that reciting this mantra while playing the singing bowl (aloud or mentally), reinforces the idea of improving the clarity of body, mind, and speech in the reciter's life. ♥ The Endless Knot This symbol is very powerful and rings so true to some that the endless knot is a common tattoo idea. The Endless Knot is a symbol of the eternal cycle of struggle. The two strands of the knot represent the intertwining of two conflicting sides that join in harmony, the meaning being that all events are related through cause and effect. ♥ Om This symbol is one that has survived through time and even has brought itself into western culture through yoga and meditation. Besides the surface meaning of peace and harmony, Om also represents creation or the beginning. This is the reason that it is used to begin most Sanskrit prayers and mantras. Representing the beginning makes it perfect for those beginning a new task or project in their lives. ♥ Buddha Eyes/Wisdom Eyes This symbol is perfect for those that are beginning a new study or school. This is because the Wisdom Eyes represent all-seeing wisdom, without bias. Buddha was known to be very removed from the material world, which is a characteristic rare in the modern world. It is said that when playing a singing bowl with this symbol, one truly clears their mind and opens up their third eye. Thank you for reading! We appreciate your support and purchase! ☺
