Prayer Bowl

LaShay (Student)

A prayer bowl is a hand-designed bowl where a person keeps prayerful intentions. Each bowl comes with note cards to write prayers on.
The prayer bowl was made of pure copper in the ancient world (before American slavery) for medicinal purposes… they are now most often made of bronze: a combination of copper, tin and zinc -or a seven-metal medley of these plus iron, lead, gold and silver (the seven earth metals related to the seven chakras). In Asia, its similarly used by putting the bowl over the head.
Prayer bowls help us in simply a way to remind us of those we need to lift up in prayer. How? Just place your prayer bowl where you sit daily, and jot down the names and prayers of those whom you’re praying for on a slip of paper and put it inside the bowl
