SWOTHA SINGING BOWL
Read moreA small, friendly place where you can find quality singing bowls. Each bowl has a tone corresponding to a chakra (head, throat, belly, etc.), but also according to your astrology.

Some are more recent, others older (and more expensive). In singing bowl therapy and meditation, the 7 chakra tones resonate.
