I'm on lesson 4 of quick guide to the Singing Bowls and I got chills when you said to remember that the bowls are alive and that I'm forming a relationship with. Mine are new and were gifted to me and I've not had much time this week to pull them out and I literally have felt like they were "calling me" to let them out...I love it and taking them on the deck this afternoon so we can "get connected" lol. Beautiful!
