This is my 8th Bowl from the Sacred Store, and I've also purchased others as gifts. My cats seem to enjoy the bowls too. When I played the sample audio clip of the Aura Bowl on the site, both dogs came running from upstairs. When I received the bowl a few days ago and started playing it, they came running right away. As the vibration was starting to fade, she stuck her head inside the bowl to soak up the sound. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture of that.
I received my Aura bowl about a week ago and took some time to fully experience it before sharing my thoughts. This bowl is stunning in its simplicity, and the sound it produces is absolutely amazing. It "sings" effortlessly. I know I will enjoy it for many years to come. Thank you, Sacred Store!
Tapping the side of the bowl with the felt-wrapped mallet produces the best tones. I can make the bowl sing continuously using the wooden part of the mallet, but I have yet to master this with the felt-wrapped part.
