Your First Session
How to play your Alchemy bowl
When your bowl arrives, you will want to meet it. This short guide walks you through your very first session. How to place it, how to strike and circle the rim, and how to let the sound rise and fill the room.
Three gentle steps to begin
Set your bowl on its ring so it sits level and secure, on a surface where it cannot roll. Sit comfortably, both feet on the floor, and take a slow breath.
Hold the mallet like a pen. Give the bowl a soft strike to wake it, then move slowly and evenly around the outside of the rim, keeping the mallet in gentle contact.
The note will bloom in its own time and fill the room. Keep your pace unhurried and steady. If it slips or squeaks, lift the mallet, breathe, and begin again.
There is no wrong way to begin
Rest your bowl on its O-ring, breathe, and move the mallet slowly around the rim until the note blooms and fills the space. Let it rise in its own time. The bowl will teach you the rest.
