Question: Should Christians avoid singing bowls!?
I visited a friends home on yesterday; she handed me a metal bowl and a wooden stick, I had no idea what it was!. She said "it's a singing bowl" and demonstrated it for me!. I held it in my hand and caused it to "sing" the sound was quite peculiar and so was the vibration that flowed through my hand from the dish!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
My guess is that someone you know - someone who doesn't know how the singing bowls work and therefore is suspicious of them - told you they were potentially dangerous or evil, perhaps tools of the devil!. I heard that sort of talk all the time growing up, regarding anything and everything those around me failed to comprehend!.

There are no spirits flowing through the bowls if -that's- what someone was afraid of!. It's a perfectly normal, natural, spirit-free thing!. Somewhat like running your wet fingertips over the rim of a crystal stem glass and getting that melodious "glass violin" sound!. It's just wood, metal and vibrating air - nothing for anyone of any religion to be afraid of!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i understand the bowl that you are trying to describe and i do not understand why you would have to avoid it at my christian catholic high school we use one in some of the theology classes and at some massesWww@QuestionHome@Com
