Tingsha with a decoration of the mantra Om Namah Shivaya, it means something like "Salutations to Lord Shiva, the auspicious one!" Chanting this mantra helps temper your ego and feelings of conflict, and guides you on the path to liberation.

Tingsha, Ding-Sha's or cymbals are used as musical offerings in spiritual practices and meditation.

Musical offerings are common in puja (ritual prayer), where a variety of instruments are used—bells, drums, cymbals, and trumpets. Musical offerings are found in many traditional rituals of Tibetan and Hindi Buddhism.

Today, cymbals are also used in the same way by secularists. In fact, they are used in Feng Shui, meditation, purification and healing practices, and in chakra alignment.

How to use cymbals Strike the cymbals at the same time and a high, pleasant, clear note will come out, which will stay in the air and then create an extraordinary silence.

The lively tone of the cymbals has an immediate resonance in the human heart.

Their goal is to raise awareness among people to remember who we are, and to recognize our priorities in this often turbulent and illusory world.

When they are suspended horizontally and touched simultaneously, it seems that a pleasant sound wave oscillates between them, at the same time, a high frequency reverberates, thus producing an impressive symphony of sounds.

Cymbals and Feng Shui Cymbals are also used in Feng Shui to clear the energy in a room and "open it up" by playing them in the four corners of the room.

A great way to negate negative energy, using incense is not incompatible!

Feng Shui (pronounced as: Fang Shoui) is the more than 3000-year-old philosophy that teaches how the environment can influence your well-being.

Feng Shui teaches how the design, style and interior of your living space affect your well-being and happiness, and how negative influences can be changed into positive ones.

Feng Shui is about the relationship between man and the living environment, including the workplace, and it aims to harmonize natural and created configurations.

Everything we create is essentially unnatural, but it can harmonize with nature.

Feng Shui aims to adapt our living or working environment in such a way as to stimulate a harmonious flow of Chi (life force). In Chinese philosophy, it is all about harmony and balance between the complementary forces of yin and yang, such as male and female, etc.

Cymbals and the Sound of Healing Healing sounds and balancing auric fields are also used to define the beginning and end of a meditation period. Some say that the use of cymbals is like a reminder. It brings us back to the "here and now."

How to store cymbals?

Like many other ritual objects, when not in use, it is recommended to wrap them in a cloth or, in this particular case, to place them in the special two-compartment brocade cover.

Each cymbal is individually cast with a variety of metals, usually from a minimum of three to more.

Most cymbals are made of bronze, which is composed primarily of copper and tin, with an occasional small addition of nickel.

High-quality cymbals are made of a bell alloy composed of seven to twelve metals that produce a powerful harmonic resonance when sounded.
