Tingsha Cymbals Tibetan 7 Chakra 7cm

A clean, bright ring cuts through the room, marking a moment to pause and begin again. These brass tingsha cymbals are made for meditation, yoga, sound practice and small home rituals, where a single struck tone can signal arrival, closure or a return to focus.

The sound in practice

• Strike the cymbal edges together gently for a clear tone that feels crisp rather than heavy.
• Use them at the start of meditation, before yoga, or to close a quiet ritual at home.
• The sound gives a simple point of attention, useful when you want a clean break between one part of the day and the next.
• They suit personal practice as well as small shared spaces, without needing a large instrument or setup.
• Keep the movement light. A soft, even strike is usually enough to bring out the bell-like character.

Seven-chakra design in brass

The cymbals are made from brass and decorated with the symbols of the seven chakras. In the yogic tradition, the chakra system is used as a symbolic map for reflection, intention and meditation, moving from grounded awareness through to clarity and insight.

How to play and care for them

Hold one cymbal in each hand and bring the outer edges together with a gentle, controlled strike. Let the sound fade naturally before striking again, especially during meditation or breathwork.

Store them dry and wipe with a soft cloth after handling. Brass naturally changes in tone over time, developing a warmer surface with use.

Where tingsha sit in tradition

Tingsha are small paired cymbals associated with Tibetan Buddhist ritual sound and Himalayan contemplative practice. Their clear tone is traditionally used to mark transitions, gather attention and create a sense of ceremonial space. Today, many people also use them in yoga studios, meditation corners and sound-based rituals at home. The seven-chakra decoration connects this pair with a yogic visual language, making them especially suited to practices built around intention, breath and symbolic focus.

Size and details

Each pair measures 7 cm across and weighs 265 g. Made from brass in India, they are part of the Tibetan Tingsha Bells range.

A thoughtful ritual gift

A considered gift for someone who meditates, practises yoga, or enjoys creating a calm corner at home. The sound makes it more than a decorative object, giving the recipient a small ritual they can return to often.
