Peter Hess® Singing Bowls

In Nepal, Peter Hess learned what “Nada Brahma” (“The World is Sound”) really means. Using his knowledge of the special effect of sounds in traditional music as well as in rituals and healing, he developed sound massage. Based on the method of sound massage, the Peter Hess® Singing Bowls were created.

In search of an accompanying healing method, the graduate engineer for physical technology makes his first encounters with singing bowls in Nepal.

As part of a research project, Peter Hess spent several months in Nepal in 1984 taking measurements of power and energy sites. During this time he got to know the singing bowls through a friend who was an ethnomusicologist.

Interview: Peter Hess' personal path to sound

The eastern concept “Nada Brahma”, which can be translated as “The world is sound”, became directly tangible for him and was to fundamentally change his future life. His findings about the special effect of sounds in traditional music as well as in rituals and in healing formed the basis for the idea of sound massage that originated there. While still on site, Peter Hess began experimenting with singing bowls, and soon a first form of sound massage emerged.

Peter Hess on his trip to Nepal in 1984

Peter Hess bought his first stock of ancient singing bowls in Nepal and used them in Germany in self-awareness seminars he offered. The positive findings from these first seminars led to rapid further development of the method. Thus not only the sound massage training, as it is taught today world-wide after a uniform curriculum, was developed, but also many specialized seminars, which are offered at the today’s Peter Hess® Institut.

In addition to founding the Peter Hess® Institute and publishing relevant technical literature, the engineer began to set up his own production of singing bowls specially designed for sound therapy as early as 1989. These were to meet his high demands on sound and material.

Only the Peter Hess® Singing Bowls that receive the Therapy Quality label are suitable for therapeutic use. Peter Hess® Therapy Singing Bowls are forged from a cast blank. The elaborate forging technique ensures that they vibrate much longer and more evenly. Even if a good pre-selection already takes place in the production countries Nepal and India, some bowls do not meet the requirements for the quality seal “Peter Hess® Therapy Singing Bowl – professional therapeutic quality”. Therefore, all singing bowls are again intensively tested for quality in Germany.
