Musical offerings are indeed standard in many Tibetan Buddhist and Hindi rituals. Today they are used by them\u0026nbsp;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.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u0026nbsp;\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.
