Singing bowl sound meditation, an ancient Tibetan and Buddhist practice, may reduce tension, anxiety, and depression while promoting spiritual well-being. Studies show it can produce physiological and psychological responses, decreasing negative affect and increasing positive affect, and improving blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate. The reasons for these effects are not fully understood; possible explanations include alterations in brain waves, binaural beats, and vibrations interacting with the body's biofield. The practice may be an effective low-cost intervention, but further research is needed on long-term effects and clinical applications.
