A gong bath is a mode of passive meditation practised laying down, whilst being immersed in the rich and unusual sounds of a gong. Each gong bath experience is unique, but it’s possible to have a range of experiences from visions, to epiphanies, to creative solutions, and even psychedelic-like journeys.
Gong sessions often begin with yoga and breathing practices, mantra chanting all to relax and ease you into the experience. The gong is then gradually introduced, and the vibrations are absorbed throughout the entire body. Other sound healing tools such as crystal bowls, chimes and the voice may also be used to create a restorative and diverse soundscape.
No knowledge or experience is required, as it makes meditation very accessible, turning it into a real experience with many benefits on both a mental, physical and even spiritual level.
Please bring a Yoga mat and blanket.
ONLINE BOOKING WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON
The Experience
Gong sessions often begin with breathing exercises, mantra chanting or light str…etching to relax and ease you into the experience. The gong is then gradually introduced and the vibrations are absorbed throughout the entire body. Other sound healing tools such as crystal bowls, chimes and the voice, may also be used to create a restorative and diverse soundscape.
The Benefits of Gong Healing
Gong baths are highly rejuvenating for the body and bring about an overall sense of relaxation and well-being, which can reduce stress, as well as help develop a better ability to cope with stress. They may also encourage greater overall stillness and contentment in our daily lives.
Another process that takes place is entrainment – the synchronisation of our fluctuating brainwaves with the stable frequency of the gong, which our brains acclimate to and unify with. This, too, can help create overall harmony within our bodies.
As gong baths are a mode of meditation that can quieten the mind, you may find that inspiration, new ideas, or breakthroughs come to you. You might like to have a journal with you to write down these thoughts afterwards.
