Other Uses of Tingsha Bells

Space Clearing

One of the most popular, and believed to be the most effective use of Tingsha bells is the space clearing.
 
When tapped, the cymbals resonate a unique, identical bell sound that provides a pure, cleansing effect. The sound is believed to clear low vibrational energy – even the negative ones.
 
Reasons for Space Clearing
 
Space clearing is done for a variety of reasons. Some are few of the following:
  • Moving to new houses or workspaces. It is believed that the place still carries old, negative energy residues from the previous occupants. In order to start anew, space clearing is necessary to drive away all remaining negative energies.
  • After experiencing an illness. Clearing spaces after experiencing an illness will help your household/area to feel more refreshed. Prior to doing so, make sure to thoroughly clean the area, wash all bedding and open all windows.
  • After someone has died. Space clearing after someone has died will help remove all negative emotional residues in the place.
