Metal Chakra Singing Bowls
Metal singing bowls have long been used in meditation, contemplative practice, yoga, and sound-based spiritual traditions. When gently struck or played around the rim, each bowl produces a resonant tone that can become a focal point for meditation, breathwork, chakra practice, or intentional listening.
Our Metal Chakra Singing Bowls bring this sound practice together with the traditional seven-chakra system. From Root to Crown, each bowl corresponds with a chakra and its traditional qualities, from grounding and creativity to love, communication, intuition, and spiritual connection.
Choose an individual bowl to focus on a particular chakra, or work through the full Root-to-Crown sequence with the complete seven-bowl set. Each individual bowl comes with a mallet, cushion, and carrying pouch, giving you the essential pieces for a personal sound practice at home, in a yoga space, or while traveling.

Metal vs. Crystal Singing Bowls
Metal and crystal singing bowls offer different materials and sound characteristics. Metal bowls have a long history as musical and contemplative instruments and generally produce a more layered, earthy sound. Their compact format can work well for individual chakra practices, meditation, yoga, and sound-based rituals.
Quartz crystal bowls are known for clear, sustained tones and are available in different sizes and notes. They are also commonly associated with specific note-based chakra practices.
Choose metal if you enjoy:
- A compact singing bowl
- Layered, resonant tones
- Traditional metal construction
- Individual chakra-focused practice
- A bowl that is easy to store and carry
Choose crystal if you are drawn to:
- Clear, sustained quartz tones
- Larger bowl formats
- Specific musical notes
- Note-based chakra associations
Some sound practitioners incorporate both materials depending on the tones and resonance they want to bring into a meditation, yoga, or sound practice.

How to Use a Metal Singing Bowl
Using a metal singing bowl can be simple:
- Place the bowl: Set the bowl on its cushion or another stable, soft surface.
- Strike gently: Hold the mallet comfortably and gently strike the outside of the bowl.
- Create a sustained tone: If your bowl and mallet are designed for rim playing, slowly move the mallet around the outer rim to build and maintain the sound. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific bowl.
- Start lightly: Use a gentle touch and listen to how the tone develops. You can adjust your pressure and pace as you become familiar with the bowl.
- Bring it into your practice: Use the bowl to open or close meditation, accompany yoga or breathwork, explore a particular chakra, begin an intention-setting practice, or create a focused atmosphere for journaling and reflection.
- Take it with you: The carrying pouch included with the individual sets makes it practical to move the bowl between rooms, studios, retreats, and other practice spaces.
