These mindfulness bell recordings contains nothing but the pure sound of a Tibetan singing bowl being repeatedly struck with a soft mallet.

This calming sound is a wonderful focal point for meditation. Simply absorb your attention in the sound of the mindfulness bell. No mantra is required, no special breathing techniques are needed, just let your awareness be consumed by the sound of the bell.

Your mind will become clearer and more calm with each and every bell strike, and as the bells fade into silence, your mind is given the opportunity to experience a very natural state of stillness.

The bell sounds encourages your mind to become still and silent, but alert. This is mindfulness training at its best!

There’s something really nice about being able to meditate without having to worry about concentrating intensely or repeating a mantra.

Just let the bells do the work for you.

Their comforting, meditative sound will help you to anchor your awareness in the present moment so that you can move past mental noise and get in touch with that part of you that is already quiet and still. This really is a very effective way to meditate.

If there is one thing I learned while recording the Tibetan Singing Bowls for Mindfulness Bells Volume One and Two, it’s that meditation bells are not all equal!

Each and every bell has its own unique sound. Some are quite unmusical, whereas others have harmonics that mingle beautifully. Some oscillate too quickly or in awkward patterns that are distracting, whereas others oscillate with a natural rhythm that is deeply relaxing. Some bells really clang when they are struck, others are too boomy.

I sampled dozens of different bells and eventually exhausted my own collection of over 65 different bells and meditation bowls before I found the singing bowl with the right sound for Mindfulness Bell Volume 1. Two more years passed before I found the right singing bowl for Volume 2.

I am very particular about the sound of the bowls I choose, and I'm also very meticulous when it comes to the recording process. It's easy to underestimate just how much thought and effort goes into "simple" recordings like these. As a music composer and someone who is more than a little obsessed with sound quality, I spent a huge amount of time experimenting with different microphones and recording techniques before I captured the sounds you hear in these recordings.

My many years of practicing meditation and composing music for meditation have really helped to attune my senses to what makes a great sounding meditation bell. It is my sincere hope that my dedication to meditation and my meticulous approach to recording has resulted in a sound that will bring you the most relaxing, enriching meditation experience possible.
