Peter Hess, a graduate engineer for Physical Technology and teacher, learned about singing bowls in 1984 in Nepal and later in Tibet. More than 30 years ago he developed the sound massage with sound bowls. He created the original, highly effective relaxation method the Peter Hess® sound massage. The positive results led to a rapid further development of his method. Today it is used in the fields of wellness / relaxation, sound therapy and sound pedagogy. There are now 22 Peter Hess® Academies worldwide and more than 15,000 Peter Hess® sound massage practitioners worldwide. Scientific research and different investigations have been made and many books have appeared on sound and are now available.
Quality of Peter Hess® Therapeutic Bowls
Peter Hess® Singing Bowls are manually produced in a time-honored tradition made from 12 different metals in a painstaking process. The alloy also contains a small piece of an old singing bowl that serves as a symbolic carrier of ancient knowledge. For the best sounds and oscillation the perfect alloy is crucial. The Bowls are subject to quality control of their vibrational and acoustic properties by specialized engineers who ensure that the bowls supplied to practitioners and are of proven therapeutic quality.
Peter Hess® Tibetan Singing Bowls are composed of the following 12 metals:
| Metal | Gold | Silver | Mercury | Copper | Iron | Tin | Lead |
| Planet | Sun | Moon | Mercury | Venus | Mars | Jupiter | Saturn |
| Zinc | (effective against stress) |
