If you want to beat stress and embrace wellness, beginning with meditative activities, there are tools like beautiful and functional Tibetan tingsha bells to help you reach that moment of quiet concentration. These bells, which are actually tiny cymbals (measuring, on the average, about three inches in diameter) capable of resonating a light, short, and sweet tinkling tone, are commonly used to help clear space of negative energies in the space. They also signal to others that a meditation session has begun. In some meditation sessions, bells are rung to bring attention to the present moment, or ingrain something in people’s memory.  Crafted by Tibetan Buddhists for hundreds of years, tingsha may be made of metal alloys and a fairly huge amount of bronze, the better to produce a clear tone thatcan be sustained.

Tingsha is usually made of recycled old bronze, to which  metals like gold or silver plus copper are added. Also adding beauty to a pair of tingsha bells is a design like raised/embossed precious symbols or dragon, plus a special carrying case like a suede pouch or brocade carrying case. A handy and ornamental pair of tingsha is often used in a house cleansing ceremony,where it is carried from one room to another and then embedded so that the energy that it carries can purify the dwelling place.  Or it can be used before doing some reflection or meditation, and may signal that it is time to clear the mind of worries and other worldly concerns. Tingsha can be suitably placed in an altar in one’s abode, or brought to a spa or yoga center even in far-flung locations.

Along with chimes and singing bowls, tingsha can help clear  away disturbing energies in a space. It can also help the mind focus. Its balancing power and therapeutic value makes it a must-buy. Tingsha is offered by many online sites at a very affordable price. As a tool for meditation, it can  help people relax and reaching higher levels of enlightenment. Having at hand tingsha bells give people reassurance and usher a relaxed state, moreso because of the clear, sound that’s produced, helping the mind refocus or set the pace for meditation.

Tingsha brings people’s attention to the here and now. So whether you’re using it for yoga or for personal reflection, or hearing its pure sound while joining a ritual, you can benefit from its healing and balancing effect. Tingsha bells are great collectors’ items, too. The really coveted ones are those beautifully handcrafted by Tibetan artists who adhere to ancient traditions, and opted to fuse seven metals to create an authentic, high quality item. The quality is evident in the sound and resonance that can be produced.
