Singing Bowl Seller Survey Reveals Meditation, Mindfulness Major Driver in Purchases
Silent Mind, Amazon's top seller of authentic Tibetan singing bowls, polled customers for an entire year. The resulting data makes the link between singing bowls and mindfulness-based practices clear.
SUTTON COLDFIELD, England, May 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When consumers think of singing bowls, they most likely think of solitude, serenity, and perhaps spa experiences. But what actually propels consumers to purchase a singing bowl of their very own?
That's what one of the internet's most successful singing bowl producers and sellers set out to discover. From May of 2018 to May of 2019, Silent Mind invited customers to answer a question: What made you purchase this singing bowl?
Hundreds of customers electively shared why they made the purchase, with everyone from yoga teachers to kindergarten teachers sharing why they buy singing bowls. However, nearly 50% of all respondents gave a variation of the same answer. They bought a singing bowl to complement their personal meditation or mindfulness practice.
That is to say, simply listening to a recording of a singing bowl wasn't enough. Many meditators want their singing bowl experience to be hands-on.
While not completely surprising, the sheer volume of customers focused on these wellness practices makes the primary purpose of singing bowls in the modern age that much clearer. For many, singing bowls serve as a shortcut to a quieter mind.
That's something the company, Silent Mind, takes very seriously. They've designed singing bowls that people of all ages and experience levels can use.
Today, their singing bowls are featured in yoga studios, classrooms, and musical audio recordings. The tone and quality of each bowl is handcrafted with the intention to deliver the scientifically-backed benefits of singing bowls, namely, reduced tension.
"We've found that a lot of people don't realize how much tension they hold in their bodies until it begins to dissipate," said a Silent Mind representative. "Once tension is alleviated, it's much easier to sit in the stillness of meditation, or to remain present and mindful in a situation."
It seems that Silent Mind singing bowls are having the intended effect, as they also note that they have many repeat customers who end up purchasing additional bowls as gifts."Ultimately, that's why we've seen the success we have," explains Silent Mind. "If you can find a way or a tool which makes peace and contentment more attainable, people are going to want to share it with everyone they know."
But just in case one of these singing bowl recipients isn't sure how it works - or they wonder if a singing bowl really is the best choice for their new commitment to meditation - Silent Mind has more to share.
Recently, they rolled out a series of five free e-books on singing bowls, and one release is dedicated solely to the application of singing bowls to meditation and mindfulness. "Singing Bowls for Meditation & Mindfulness" walks readers through ways to use their singing bowl during these practices, as well as noteworthy data, tips for success, and an introduction to sound baths.
