We've just finished three new SINGING BOWL VIDEOS for the website!
A little note, YouTube is having a little site difficulty, so if one of our older videos says "This video is no longer available" it is one of their glitches. Hopefully to be corrected in a few days. Till then, you need to open the link and add at the end of the URL:

We have just finished adding some Tibetan incense to our ACCESSORIES PAGE for you to order here through our website.
All natural, all handmade, these blends are used for meditation, space purification as well as ritual / devotional use.


Here is a sample description from one of the bundle packages:
We also have some NEPALI DHOOP (Incense)
Aromatic Nepali Dhoop, Incense - Very high quality, hand-made in Nepal.
"Perfectly safe for the inhalation and the environments as well."
Natural essential oil, flowers, leaves, fruits, peels, grasses, wood, bark, resins, roots, spices. Aromatic herbs using only natural binders, these incense are perfect/made especially for Aromatherapy. A 'joss' type, without a wooden stick, they are pure incense. Because of the quality and lack of burning wood, these blends have been acceptable to many people suffering from allergies and hay fever, people who cannot usually burn incense.
Approximately 19 sticks, 19 cm long per bundle, (aprox. 7-1/2 inches) widths vary depending on the blend.
Here are some sample package informations:
FRANKINCENSE

Slows down breathing producing feelings of calmness. This tends to bring about elevating and soothing effects on the mind. Particularly helpful in cleaning the lungs, has excellent effect on respiration, eases shortness of breath and useful to Asthma sufferers.GERANIUM: Sweet and heavy, a little like rose with minty overtones. Once regarded as a great healing plant and often used as a remedy for wounds, tumors, choleras and fractures. To the nervous system, quells anxiety and depression and uplifts the spirits.

Beyond that, we are currently dealing with a real scoundrel at the YouTube site.
This person is grabbing Emile's singing bowl videos, changing the titles, digitally altering them to remove Emile's and the Temple Sounds names, fact that it is copyrighted material, our website and everything else connected with us and plastering his own website URL over the whole thing, claiming it as his own in order to sell singing bowls and the like from his website. We have been able to have him banned once, yet he just comes back the next day with a new username and re-uploads the videos. (We are not the only one he is doing it to either.) If you come across them or have found your own videos have been hijacked, please contact YouTube (or us if it is one of ours). Thank you.
NEW BOWL EXTRAS
New WOODEN MALLETS and COTTON BEATERS and Bowl PILLOWS & RINGS have just been added, our entire ACCESSORIES PAGE updated and revamped. More items on the way though since we've just gotten in over twelve more types of Tibetan-style INCENSE used for meditation, ceremonies, purification and ritual purposes. All hand-made of natural ingredients, watched for these further additions soon.
