“Chi, pronounced chee, also known as Ki, Qi, or Prana, is the general term for the life force energy that flows through every living thing. Chi is present in every cell, throughout our mind, body, and soul. Chi energy flowing in you is what gives you vitality, and fullness of life. A person with balanced chi will feel full of energy, joy, and zest for life.” — from “Chi Energy of the Soul” at Lakanto
What’s the simplified, easy, low-cost way to sound healing?
When I received a Tibetan singing bowl as a gift, I loved it so much that I wrote about it. (Silent Mind is offering 15% off on selected singing bowls for a limited time.) My blog post on how to use singing bowls to heal body, mind and spirit (HERE) ended up being number two out of my ten most popular posts of 2020. Silent Mind congratulated me by sending a gift of Tingsha bells. I wasn’t that interested in Tingsha bells at first. But after I tried them, I was really impressed with the experience! You get a similar sound and effect to what you get with singing bowls but with a higher, softer tone. Tingsha bells are the simplified, easy, low-cost way to sound healing, meditation and mindfulness. Age doesn’t matter. You’ll get all the benefits of better health overall in body, mind and spirit.
This is not without proof!
You can check out the results of a scientific study below. The U.S. National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, did investigate the effects of sound healing using singing bowls, tingsha bells and similar instruments. The results were surprisingly positive with gains in good health measured overall!
The Simplified Way to Sound Healing
Tingsha bells are the simplified, easy low-cost way to sound healing. First of all, they allow you to clear yourself and your space more quickly when short on time. Secondly, they are easy to carry with you to use in alternate places. And finally, you don’t need any special skill to play them.
Simply hit the Tingsha bells together like cymbals or hold the chord and let the side rims chime together. Then focus on the sound vibrating while you relax and let your mind clear any thoughts. If you practice yoga, use them to begin and end each session.
Called toning, this relieves mental stress and reduces anxiety. Toning also allows the free flow of positive Chi energy and wards off negativity. This promotes a flow of healthy energies throughout the body and strengthens brainwaves.
What Is Chi?
What Tingsha Bells Are Good For:
These versatile bells are good for more than meditation and yoga practices. In addition, they provide some of the following benefits.
I like to use my Tingsha bells to clear my crystals and my space. My intention is to wipe out any negativity with the higher frequencies of these high-pitched bells. Ring the purifying tone of these bells in each corner of a room to create harmony in your environment, or Feng Shui. The vibrating sound fills the empty space and is said to “fill your aura.”
Proof of the Benefits of Sound Healing
The U.S. National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, did an observational study on the “Effects of Singing Bowl Sound Meditation on Mood, Tension and Well-being.” This study used sound baths using a wide array of singing bowls, tingsha bells and similar instruments. Here are excerpts from the discussion of the final results:
“Sound healing has been used for centuries and been utilized in various forms by cultures the world over, including native peoples…
“This was an observational study designed to examine the potential effects of a singing bowl meditation on mood, tension, anxiety, physical pain, and spiritual well-being. A significant difference was found in all endpoints examined in response to the meditation.
“The tension subscale in particular displayed highly significant effects for participants post-meditation, thus providing support to the hypothesis that a sound meditation would increase feelings of relaxation and decrease feelings of stress. Additionally, depressed mood and anxiety scores on the HADS were significantly reduced post-meditation compared with pre-meditation. Moreover, scores on the FACIT revealed increased feelings of spiritual well-being, as well as faith, immediately following the sound meditation. Thus, while less desirable mood states such as tension, anger, and depression decreased following the meditation, potentially desirable variables such as a sense of spiritual well-being increased.”
Some Benefits from this Simplified Sound Healing
The ringing of Tingsha bells relieves stress, depression and grief. The calming sound promotes the flow of positive energies into the brain, relaxing it and putting it at ease. The tapping of the little bronze cymbals produces vibrations that relax the nerve cells and can even open blockages that lead to severe headaches.
Tingsha bells create higher frequencies than a singing bowl. This is important because those frequencies cause your upper chakras to open. The result is that your crown, third eye and heart open energetic channels to spirit, wisdom and love. These are the feelings you will get from the vibrations.
What Are Chakras?
You can find out more about chakras from a medically-reviewed article at healthline.com called “Chakras: A Beginner’s Guide to the 7 Chakras and Their Meanings” HERE. The author, Gretchen Stelter, says:
“Chakra (cakra in Sanskrit) means “wheel” and refers to energy points in your body. They are thought to be spinning disks of energy that should stay “open” and aligned, as they correspond to bundles of nerves, major organs, and areas of our energetic body that affect our emotional and physical well-being.”

Angie, this is such a fabulous post with so much great information. I have only tried sound healing when I go to my Reiki healer and it really is so soothing. I have never even considered the fact that I could incorporate it into my yoga sessions and my home in general. I think I need some tingsha bells in my life now!

Hi, Shelbee – That’s what I love about blogging: we learn so many new and interesting things that can enrich our lives. I am actually a Reiki healer and have never tried sound healing during sessions. So now I have a new idea. Lol! Thanks for your feedback – Angie
Fascinating, Angie. I am not sure if I have heard about singing bowls before. I will read your earlier post on the bowls. It makes me think of wetting the rim of a glass and running one’s finger on the rim to produce sound and the glass orchestras that are often popular during the holidays. But what it really makes me think about is how relaxing the sound of wind chimes can be. You definitely have made me curious about this. I tried meditation a couple of years ago, and with a guided meditation it was occasionally helpful but not enough to make me continue with it. Because the chimes or the bowl is a stimulus, I think they would be more helpful to me.
The Tingsha bells are easier to use than a singing bowl, which isn’t all that hard either. All you need is a minute or more of focusing on the beautiful sound vibration. If you want to meditate too, these sound instruments quiet the mind making it easier. I was amazed that these little bells are so effective!
