When these bowls are struck with a mallet or rubbed in a circular manner, they produce high harmonic overtones, which ‘sing’ above the low fundamental tone. The golden “Grandfather Bowl” continues to “sing” for minutes, longer than any other bowl ever recorded!

As you listen, focus on the farthest-away sound. Simply by being present, the tones draw you into your Self.

The overtones put your body into a highly attuned state that resonates with the higher vibrations of the subtle realms, wherein the body can heal itself. These sacred bowls open a vibrational doorway to another reality.

In order to capture the subtleties of these sustained overtones, we had to record with extremely sensitive microphones. They also recorded Thea’s breathing, which you may occasionally hear.

To receive the full benefit of the music, we recommend listening simultaneously with headphones and stereo speakers. You may be seated comfortably, or lying down, with the soles of your feet pointed toward the speakers.

When I first met Thea and Grandfather Bowl at a holistic health fair in 1994, he told me that the vibrational transmissions could only be done in person. Then, in 1998, he contacted me and said he had received permission to go public with this sonic healing tradition. I am honored to have assisted him in sharing the blessings of this bowl with a wider audience. – Steven Halpern

tHea SuraSu is a healer, artist, and magician who has spent twenty years exploring the transformative power of sound, using sonic tools of truth and Singing Bowls from many cultures. He is a Keeper of that tradition.

In person, Thea places this 11th century Tibetan bowl directly on a person’s body. This facilitates a state of full release and deep relaxation at a molecular level.

One of the amazing qualities of the bowls is that their sound changes as you move around the room. This will also occur as you change your position relative to your stereo speakers.

Symphony for Shangri-la was performed live. The section that sounds like a choir of monks chanting is a manifestation of the multiple bowls’ harmonics interacting. About 14 minutes into the Symphony, many people notice their sinuses opening. At other points, you may also feel your third eye resonating.

“Listening to this recording, individuals with a higher degree of sensitivity can see a figure 8 of energy open over them as their body is engulfed in a luminous halo of light and sound.” – Thea Surasu

2003 update: It is with great sadness that I share the news of Thea’s untimely passing. His loving presence will be missed. This recording is a fitting tribute that continues the legacy of his work in the world. – Steven Halpern

One of the many benefits that we enjoy nowadays is to travel through time and space to experience the healing energies of ancient sound traditions, without leaving home.

Throughout my career, I’ve been honored to have been chosen to assist several lineage holders in sharing their once-secret sounds and chants with the world. Read more about the history behind each of these albums on my website: www.StevenHalpern.com/singingbowls

Over 1,000 years ago, Tibetan masters received the secret and sacred art of creating “singing bowls” that evoke a transcendent state of meditation and healing. The ancients believed that singing bowls were physical manifestations of a higher intelligence, an embodiment of spiritual sound that tunes body, mind and soul. Thea Surasu was initiated into this lineage, and is a Keeper of this healing tradition. This golden “Grandfather Bowl” has never before been available to the public.

Its remarkable sustain and complex overtones and harmonics reveal themselves when you listen with attention and intention.Many listeners report that they receive images in their mind’s eye of the legendary

Himalayan valley of Shangri-la, land of eternal bliss. Listening with headphones intensifies the natural deep alpha and theta brainwave entrainment. Played softly in the background, Singing Bowls of Shangri-la creates a healing

ambience perfect for meditation, healing and sacred sonic therapy, as recommended by Dr. Mitchell Gaynor on the “Dr. Oz” show.
