How to Read This Chart (Client-Friendly Explanation)

- If you are seeking calm, grounding, emotional balance, or nervous system regulation, Tibetan and Kasa Full Moon Singing Bowls are usually more supportive.
Neither instrument is “better”—they simply serve different needs.
Why This Matters in Our Practice
At Meta Ye Sound Wellness Center, we work with Seven & Twelve Resonance™, a method designed to support:
- Nervous system regulation (7 chakras)
- Circulation and organ balance (12 meridians)
- Whole-body restoration rather than stimulation
For this purpose, Kasa Full Moon Singing Bowls offer the depth, adaptability, and safety required for lasting well-being.
