Bells + chimes

Bells and chimes can mark a transition in a room: arriving, beginning meditation, clearing the air, or adding gentle sound near a window or altar. Some are decorative; others are meant to be held and used.

Where the Sound Comes From

Wind chimes need airflow. Hand bells and tingsha-style pieces suit meditation and ritual. Small altar bells are easier to place on a shelf or practice table. Choose by tone first, then by appearance.
