486 Hz Crown Chakra Traditional Tibetan Singing Bowl - Note B
$450.00
A rich, expansive traditional Tibetan singing bowl tuned to 486 Hz, handmade from scratch through a traditional artisanal process and created for meditation, contemplation, spiritual practice, stillness, inner spaciousness, and therapeutic sound work.
The 486 Hz Crown Chakra Singing Bowl corresponds to the note B within this 432 Hz tuning system and is traditionally associated with the Crown Chakra (Sahasrara). In contemporary chakra-based sound practices, this frequency is used as a tonal focus for meditation, contemplation, stillness, spiritual reflection, and cultivating a sense of spacious awareness.
Every bowl begins with raw material and is transformed through an extensive traditional making process. Rather than being mass-produced, the metal passes through numerous stages of heating, shaping, forming, refining, finishing, and tuning. It is worked and adjusted thousands of times as the craftspeople bring the instrument toward the intended size, thickness, weight, shape, note, frequency, and resonance.
The craftsmanship is an essential part of the instrument's voice. A traditional singing bowl is not simply manufactured to look a particular way; its physical form is progressively developed to create its tonal response. The result is an individual instrument with its own sustained resonance, fundamental tone, harmonics, and overtones.
Made using Ancient Traditional Metal Alloy, this bowl belongs to the traditional Tibetan/Himalayan metal singing-bowl tradition. Crystal singing bowls and other modern sound instruments represent a different category of instrument and are not part of the traditional metal-bowl method represented by this collection.
The bowl is part of a complete 432 Hz reference system comprising seven frequencies, seven notes, and their contemporary chakra associations. At 486 Hz, the Crown Chakra bowl corresponds to B and completes the seven-frequency sequence.
The Crown Chakra is traditionally associated with stillness, contemplation, spiritual awareness, expanded perspective, and a sense of connection. This bowl is therefore particularly suited to practices where the intention is not stimulation or activity, but creating space to become quiet, present, and receptive.
Singing bowls have also become the subject of growing scientific research. A 2025 systematic review of 19 clinical studies found potential benefits associated with singing-bowl interventions across areas including anxiety, depression, sleep quality, cognitive function, and physiological measures. A separate 2025 systematic review specifically examining Tibetan singing bowls reported potential improvements in anxiety, depressive symptoms, wellbeing, quality of life, heart-rate variability, and heart rate, while emphasizing the limitations of the available evidence.
These studies concern singing-bowl practices broadly and do not establish that 486 Hz specifically produces a Crown Chakra effect. The frequency-to-chakra relationship presented here belongs to a contemporary chakra and sound-healing framework rather than an established biomedical mechanism.

Within this seven-frequency 432 Hz system, each bowl corresponds to a specific note and chakra:
256 Hz — C — Root Chakra
288 Hz — D — Sacral Chakra
324 Hz — E — Solar Plexus Chakra
364.5 Hz — F — Heart Chakra
384 Hz — G — Throat Chakra
432 Hz — A — Third Eye Chakra
486 Hz — B — Crown Chakra
At 486 Hz, the Crown Chakra bowl completes the seven-frequency sequence and corresponds to the note B.
In contemporary chakra sound practices, the Crown Chakra represents the uppermost point of the chakra system and is traditionally associated with contemplation, spiritual awareness, stillness, and expanded perspective.
Completing the 432 Hz Chakra Sequence
The seven-bowl system follows this progression:
256 → 288 → 324 → 364.5 → 384 → 432 → 486 Hz
with the corresponding notes:
C → D → E → F → G → A → B
and chakra associations:
Root → Sacral → Solar Plexus → Heart → Throat → Third Eye → Crown
The 432 Hz reference provides the tonal foundation for the collection. In this system, 432 Hz corresponds to A, while the other notes are represented by their corresponding frequencies within the collection.
The 486 Hz Crown Chakra bowl therefore represents the final position in the seven-frequency sequence.
The use of 432 Hz as a tuning reference is common within contemporary meditation and sound-healing practices. Claims that 432 Hz is inherently more healing or scientifically superior to other tuning standards have not been established by clinical research. Here, it serves as the defined tonal reference system for the seven-bowl collection.
A Bowl for Stillness
The Crown Chakra bowl is particularly suited to practices where the objective is to create space rather than stimulation.
Strike the bowl gently and listen as the sound develops. Rather than trying to hold onto the tone, follow it as it gradually becomes quieter. The changing sound can provide a simple object of attention during meditation.
The experience is not limited to one frequency. Like other traditional singing bowls, the instrument produces a fundamental tone together with harmonics and overtones, creating a layered resonance that changes naturally as the vibration fades.
Crafted Through Thousands of Hands-On Adjustments
The journey from raw metal to finished singing bowl involves repeated human craftsmanship.
The material is heated, shaped, formed, refined, finished, and tuned through multiple stages. Across this process, the bowl is worked and adjusted thousands of times to achieve the intended dimensions and tonal characteristics.
The craftspeople must bring multiple physical elements into balance:
size + thickness + weight + shape + note + frequency + resonance
The physical construction of the bowl determines how that frequency is expressed and how the instrument responds when played.
What Does the Research Say?
Research into singing bowls continues to develop.
A 2025 systematic review published in Integrative Medicine Research examined 19 clinical studies involving singing-bowl interventions. The review identified potential benefits involving anxiety, depression, sleep quality, cognitive function, EEG findings, and physiological measures. The researchers also noted substantial variation among the studies and called for further high-quality research.
A separate 2025 systematic review published in Healthcare examined 14 quantitative studies specifically involving Tibetan singing bowls. Most studies reported improvements in measures including anxiety, depressive symptoms, wellbeing, quality of life, heart-rate variability, and heart rate. The authors emphasized that methodological limitations remain and that stronger controlled research is needed.
Earlier research has also investigated Himalayan singing bowls in relaxation and meditation settings. A 2014 randomized crossover study involving 51 participants found greater reductions in heart rate and systolic blood pressure when a Himalayan singing bowl preceded a directed relaxation exercise compared with silence.
Key Benefits
Creates an auditory anchor for deep meditation
Supports contemplative and reflective practices
Complements mindfulness and breathwork
Encourages stillness and intentional pauses
Suitable for spiritual and personal meditation rituals

How to Use
For meditation:
Place the bowl securely on its cushion. Gently strike the bowl and allow the resonance to unfold naturally. Follow the sound as it gradually fades, returning your attention to the changing tone
For contemplative practice:
Begin by sitting comfortably and taking several slow breaths. Play the bowl once and allow the fading resonance to mark the beginning of your quiet practice. Remain still and observe your thoughts without needing to pursue them.
For sound baths:
Use the 486 Hz Crown Chakra bowl alongside the other six bowls in the collection to create a complete seven-frequency sound journey.
For personal rituals:
