Tibetan Tingsha

Cymbals can be used like singing bowls in meditation, sound therapy, energetic room cleaning or yoga.

Tibetan cymbals, or Tingsha, have a long tradition in Buddhist ceremonies and rituals. The clear, bright and high sound of the cymbals helps clarify thoughts and improve concentration. Cymbals can be used like sound bowls in meditation, sound therapy, energetic room cleaning or yoga.

When meditating, cymbals can be used to rhythm the transition in the stages of meditation. In yoga, cymbals can be used instead of speech to signal that it is time to move from one asana to the next.

Cymbals are played by gently hitting the edges of the cymbals together in a top-down motion.
