Singing bowls for the 7 chakras, online

Pick a chakra and the bowl plays its note: struck, it rings for a long time; rubbed, it sings without stopping. Set the size of the bowl, the length of the session and a rain, ocean or wind background, then let the sound calm you down!

This tool is offered by ChakraDuo. It is free, with no sign-up, and works on a computer as well as on a phone. The sound starts at your first tap, because browsers block sound until you touch the page.

How to use the tool

  1. Pick a chakra at the top: the bowl takes on its color, its symbol and its note.
  2. Alternate, strike or make it sing: "Strike" gives one stroke that rings for a long time, "Make it sing" imitates the mallet rubbing the rim for a continuous sound, and "Alternate" switches between the two.
  3. The size of the bowl: a small bowl sounds high and short, a large bowl sounds deep and long.
  4. The session: stay on one chakra (1 to 20 minutes, or endless), or go through all 7 chakras, rising in the morning or descending in the evening.
  5. The background sound: rain, ocean or wind, with a light visual effect. Set the bowl and background volumes separately.
  6. Use headphones if you can: deep sounds are much richer through them.

The 7 bowls and their chakras

Chakra Sanskrit name Sound (bija) Bowl note Color
Root Muladhara LAM C Red
Sacral Svadhisthana VAM D Orange
Solar plexus Manipura RAM E Yellow
Heart Anahata YAM F Green
Throat Vishuddha HAM G Blue
Third eye Ajna OM A Indigo
Crown Sahasrara AUM B Violet

Matching a note of the scale to each chakra is a modern convention, widely used by singing bowl practitioners. The bija sounds (LAM, VAM, RAM…) come from the yoga tradition: you can hum them along with the bowl.

Session ideas

  • 3 minutes to unwind: one chakra, the bowl struck every 12 seconds. Close your eyes and follow each sound until it fades away.
  • In the morning: all 7 chakras rising, 1 minute each, to start the day gently.
  • In the evening: all 7 chakras descending, with a large bowl and a rain background, to wind down before sleep. Our sleep calculator helps you choose your bedtime.
  • Meditation: "Make it sing", "Endless", and the bowl volume low enough to stay in the background.

A tradition, not a treatment

Singing bowls come from the Himalayas, where they were first everyday and ritual objects. Today they are mostly used for meditation and relaxation: a long sound helps attention settle. You will sometimes read that certain frequencies "repair" a chakra or the body's cells: no serious study shows this. What we do know is that a soft, steady sound helps many people slow down. That is already a lot, and it is the spirit of this tool.

To find out which chakras need your attention, the ChakraDuo test gives you a map of your 7 chakras and a step-by-step action plan. To go further, also try our guided breathing exercise.

Precautions

Turn the volume down before you start, especially with headphones. A loud sound over a long time can tire your ears. Do not listen while driving. These sessions are a moment of relaxation: they do not replace medical advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is a singing bowl used for?

A singing bowl is mainly used to meditate and relax. Its long, soft sound gives the mind something to focus on, which helps you slow down and refocus.

Which singing bowl for which chakra?

According to a modern convention, each chakra has a note: C for the root, D for the sacral, E for the solar plexus, F for the heart, G for the throat, A for the third eye and B for the crown. The tool plays each of these notes.

What is the difference between striking a bowl and making it sing?

Striking the bowl with the mallet gives a stroke that rings for a long time, then fades. Making the bowl sing means rubbing its rim with the mallet: the sound rises gently and stays continuous as long as you keep circling.

Do singing bowl frequencies heal the chakras?

No, no study shows that a specific frequency heals a chakra or the body. Singing bowls are a tool for relaxation and meditation, and that is how we offer them.

How long should you listen to a singing bowl?

3 to 10 minutes are enough for a break. For a longer meditation, choose 15 or 20 minutes, or "Endless".

Why doesn't the sound start right away?

Browsers block a page's sound until you touch it. Tap the "Tap to turn on the sound" button, or anywhere in the tool, and you will hear the bowl.

Is the tool really free?

Yes, the tool is free, with no sign-up. Nothing is saved: your settings stay on your device.
