The ancient Indian healing practice of Ayurveda focuses on promoting health and well-being by bringing the energies of the body into balance. Ayurvedic tradition holds that there are seven energy centers called chakras, which allow energy to pass through when they are fully open. According to the Ayurvedic tradition, medical, emotional and mental problems stem from an improper flow of energy caused by the chakra being fully or partially closed.

Sahasrara is the seventh chakra and is located on the top of your head right at the crown. It is believed to be the link between the physical body and the higher plane of existence or enlightenment as well as to brain functioning. Ayurvedic practitioners feel that the seventh chakra plays a role in many conditions that affect the mind, including depression, dizziness, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

To open the flow of energy and address concerns believed to have been caused by the crown chakra, Ayurvedic practitioners will often use singing bowls. These metal bowls produce vibrations that are believed to awaken the chakra and are usually painted violet, the color thought to promote an opening of the Sahasrara chakra.

Now, you can incorporate ringing of the singing bowl into your meditation or yoga practices with the ShalinIndia Sahasrara Violet Buddhist Singing Bowl.
