Tibetan Shamanic Bell
This unique Tibetan singing bowl, also known as the Naga Bell , is an authentic testimony to the craftsmanship of the Lamaist tradition. Made entirely by hand, it presents a combination of historical, artistic and sound characteristics that make it a rare and precious object, ideal for both meditative practices and for therapeutic and ceremonial purposes.
Mysterious Origins and Rarity
Naga Bells are among the most unusual and fascinating of the Tibetan bells. Forged in two parts, they comprise a bowl with a rounded bottom and a circular metal pedestal, welded for stability. This particular structure, together with the spherical shape of the bowl, distinguishes them from other bells. The origin of these bells is little known, but their use in important sacred ceremonies and as offerings suggests a high spiritual and historical value.
• Composition
This bell is made from an alloy derived from the fusion of seven sacred metals , each associated with the planets of the solar system:
• Gold (Sun)
• Silver (Moon)
• Mercury (Mercury)
• Copper (Venus)
• Iron (Mars)
• Pond (Jupiter)
• Lead (Saturn)
This combination is not only symbolic, but also helps to create a unique, harmonious and persistent sound.
• Aesthetic and Decorative Details
The bell has simple but elegant lines. It is rare to find elaborate decorations on these bells, other than thin parallel incisions or small circles in the center of the bowl. The edge is deliberately free of folds to maintain the purity of the sound and the balance of the vibrations.
Sound and Usage
This bell produces a clear, high and harmonious sound , which persists for a long time. Thanks to its particular shape and structure, it naturally amplifies the vibrations, making it ideal for:
• Sound therapies : its vibrations penetrate deeply into the body, promoting relaxation and energetic balance.
• Meditation and Sacred Ceremonies : Traditionally used in Lamaist rituals, it is perfect for creating atmospheres of deep spiritual connection.
• Feng Shui : a precious object to harmonize spaces and promote well-being.
Practical Use
The Naga bell can be played in several ways:
• By rotating the stick around the edge to produce a continuous, stable sound.
• Holding it by the pedestal to apply vibrations directly to the body during energy treatments.
Thanks to its sensitivity, it is extremely easy to play, even for those approaching this instrument for the first time.
An Object of Tradition and Mystery
The Tibetan Shamanic Singing Bowl is not just a musical instrument, but a powerful means of connecting to the ancient spiritual traditions of the Himalayas. Its origin, rooted in the region of Tibet, is shrouded in an aura of mystery, making it an object of inestimable cultural value.
This bowl represents the perfect balance between art, spirituality and functionality. Suitable for both collectors and practitioners, it is an irreplaceable companion for those seeking to integrate sound and energy into their lives.
