Wishing everyone a peaceful World Singing Bowl Day 2025 🤗 🥣 🎵 🧘🏻‍♂️ 🧙🏻‍♂️ 🕊️

9th October is a special day to raise awareness about the relaxing and transformative effects of singing bowls and sound therapy. As singing bowls are the main instruments that I work with as part of my sound therapy work, and the instruments from which I am creating a lot of healing and meditation music, I had to post about it!

During my Ph.D. research (which I completed in 2019), I explored my music-making in relation to my shamanic journeying practice; a process I have termed ‘Spiritual Musicking’ (an expansion of Christopher Small’s theory of ‘Musicking’).

Since time immemorial, shaman have used overtone-emitting instruments to change states of consciousness in order to undertake shamanic journeying in non-ordinary reality; whether through the use of the buffalo/frame drum, the didgeridoo, rattles/shakers, the human voice, or singing bowls, bells and gongs, the powerful sound of overtones is the key vehicle (‘sonic driver’) that facilitates the change in consciousness, from an ordinary state of consciousness(OSC) to a shamanic state of consciousness (SSC).

Since completing my Ph.D., I have immersed myself wholeheartedly in the world of Himalayan singing bowls, applying my research knowledge and my many years experience as a free improviser and composer, to run sound bath events that are both musical and grounded in substantial scholarship. I have been recording and releasing improvised singing bowl compositions since May 2024, and these are now being streamed by tens of thousands of listeners all around the world. Thank you to everyone who has been listening, to everyone who is listening now, and thank you in advance to those yet to discover my singing bowl music.

The music in my post on my Nicholas Peters Music page is ‘Contemplating Dhyana’, which features the sound of two Dolpo Tantrik (Ta***ic) singing bowls and a Thadobati Cup bowl. This track was played on BBC Radio 3 Unwind’s “The Sleeping Forecast” in March 2025.

Sound baths are a wonderful form of sound healing therapy, ideal for unwinding after the work at the start of your weekend.

I work with a wide variety of Himalayan singing bowls, Chau gong, Koshi wind chimes, ocean drum, shamanic rattles and shakers, and more. Each session starts with a short guided meditation to ease you into the sound bath.

Some days you just need a large Himalayan singing bowl upturned on your head...

This specific treatment is used for insomina, anxiety, depression, stress, and helping to loosen ear wax. It feels great with the vibrations travelling down through your brain and along your spine 🥣 🎵 🧘🏻‍♂️.

Did you know that alongside sound baths, I also offer individual sound therapy treatments?

You too could have a large bowl upturned on your head!

Human beings resonate most strongly with the sounds of nature. It is no wonder, then, that many people find the sounds of rain and thunder comforting, grounding, restorative, and relaxing, with many people using recordings of these natural sounds as a sleep aid.

Owing to the heavy rain storm today here in Hale, Altrincham, it felt apt to share my EP "Rain and Thunder Therapy", featuring four field recordings I made in summer 2023, and which I released in May last year. The tracks are:

1. Thunderstorm for Deep Relaxation and Grounding
2. Nature Bathe in Heavy Rain and Thunder
3. Nature Bathe in Light Rain Shower and Birdsong
4. Heavy Rain on a Skylight Window for Meditation

Many of my sound bath clients ask me: "Where do you buy your singing bowls from?"

And my answer is always Temple Sounds, run by the brilliant Alex Jackson.

Alex provides an amazing service, selling singing bowls of all shapes, sizes, frequencies and ages, as well as Nepalese gongs, and other sound therapy instruments. He has easily the largest collection of genuine handmade singing bowls available for sale in the UK (most probably more than anyone in Europe as well).
