Musical offerings are indeed standard in many Tibetan Buddhist and Hindi rituals. Today they are used by these and lay people alike. They are used with Feng Shui, meditation, cleansing, healing and alignment.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor what purposes can I use tingshas?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eStrike the hand cymbals together and a beautiful, clear, high note will rise from them, clearing the air and creating an extraordinary stillness. The scintillating tone of the tingsha instantly strikes a resonance within the human heart.\u0026nbsp;Their purpose is to summon,\u0026nbsp;they call us to awareness, to remember who we are, and to recognise our priorities in this often turbulent and illusive world.\u0026nbsp;When they are suspended horizontally and struck together, a delightful, oscillating wave of sound seems to pass between them as they reverberate at a high frequency, creating an impressive symphony of evocative sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTingshas and Feng Shui\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTingshas are also used in Feng Shui to clear the energy present in a room and \"open\" it by sounding the tingshas in the four corners of a room. A great way to clear energy when, for example, smudging is not possible or appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFeng Shui\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFeng Shui (pronounce as: fang shouee) is an\u0026nbsp;over 3,000 years old philosophy, teaching how environmental factors\u0026nbsp;influence our well-being, and also how negative influences may be altered into positive ones. Feng Shui aims to adapt\u0026nbsp;our living or working environment in ways that 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, like male and female, etc.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTingshas and healing sound\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBy healing or balancing auric fields, cymbals are also used to define the beginning and the end of a period of meditation.\u0026nbsp;Some say the use of tingshas is like summoning.
