“Dad what on earth have you bought…”

It’s a Tibetan Singing Bowl.
“Why…..”
It was really cheap in a Black Friday sale.
“Ok Dad but why….”
It offers a multi sensory path to enhanced meditation and spiritual enlightenment.
“You’ve just read that from the label.”
Yep you busted me. It does sound good.
“So does an 100 inch TV and that would be much more useful. ”
Yes but the TV would not be less than £10. So tomorrow you might catch me sat outside creating some beautiful vibrations and hypnotic, haunting moods.
“Can I throw a bucket of water over you.”
What’s it feel like to have a really cool and hip Dad.
“I wouldn’t know. I can talk about having a muppet as a parent.”
Ok, do you think I should just use it as an ornament.
“Yes Dad but that still doesn’t change the fact that you are a monumental muppet.”
No I guess it doesn’t, especially when you see what I’ve bought next…..
That make me smile, Gary. I must say I’m rather taken with the idea of one of these.

It is amazing. And there are wo many different ones which are having different effects. Maybe, it can even support your son’s mental condition. That would be great actually. If you find the fitting bowl for him, it may help him calm and center.

Many years ago I spent a small fortune on an indoor fountain with floating brass bowls that chime when they hit stationary bowls… all tuned and pleasant and calming. I love it! I wrote wishes on strips of paper and put them in the floating bowls. But with our dry air, daily water refills became a pain. It’s sat, unused in a corner of my living room for more years than I care to calculate.

Oh wait I’ve had a spot of random Black Friday Amazon buying today a couple of things I bet your lad will actually love.
Rain maker and small kalimba / thumb piano. Bet he’d love either or both and they’re under £20.
One of those Christmas stocking gifts that nobody gets at first but once discovered you just love forever.
