Research studies have shown that sound meditation with singing bowls reduced tension and increased feelings of spiritual well-being in its participants, and could be useful for those experiencing fatigue, chronic stress, depression or anxiety. "As compared with pre-meditation, following the sound meditation participants reported significantly less tension, anger, fatigue, and depressed mood."
