Researchers from Yale performed functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans on both novice and experienced meditators to observe the effects that different techniques had on them 😎 They discovered that there was reduced activity in the default mode network of the brain when they have run the scan on advanced meditators 👍 The prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortex were the areas particularly affected, and this effect was seen to occur no matter what type of meditation was practiced. The default mode network has been connected to lapses of attention and disorders such as anxiety, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, and even the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques seen in Alzheimer’s disease.

The Tibetan singing bowl includes a Himalayan hardwood mallet and a pad to protect it. The friction created by the mallet’s contact with your bowl produces vibrations that produce sound. To start, the mallet will be smooth on both ends, but as you use it, it will begin to develop ‘micro-grooves’ which help grip the rim of the bowl better. To properly break in your mallet, we recommend that you play with your new mallet for at least five minutes. You will find the bowl is more responsive and easier to use as you continue using the mallet. Charisse Wetzel was a great source of information. [2]
