Book Reviews of Singing Bowls: A Practical Handbook of Instruction and Use
Book Review: Quite possibly the least accurate title I've seen.
Summary: 1 Stars
I assumed a "practical handbook" would have a bit more information on, well, the practice. The only section of the book that actually explains how to use singing bowls is a whopping 22 pages long and much of that covers how to choose a singing bowl (by your intuition and how a bowl sounds and feels when you strike it near different parts of your body - fabulous, if you know a seller who will let you manhandle their merchandise). The instruction that is given can mostly be summed up by one word. Experiment. That's about the end of the practical section of instruction and use.
Most of the beginning of the book is history. It's very interesting history if you can get past the fact that it's delivered in a boring and rather vague manner.
I was so excited when I bought this book, but it was a severe disappointment. I didn't learn a single thing about using my singing bowl that I hadn't already learned from idly messing with it. I learned a bit about singing bowls from a historical perspective, but there has to be a more thorough, better presented book out there on the subject. I do not recommend this book.
