'Feel the gong's pulsations and let the millions of vibrations dance and flow through your senses. You will become fearless, relaxed and awakened.' - Yogi Bhajan

In a gong bath, laying down on a comfortable mat or in a reclining chair, you are literally 'bathed' in sound. The cleansing metaphor holds true as the vibrating tones of the gong break through the mental and physical blocks of mind, body and spirit to promote a deep sense of well-being, relaxation and inner peace. The sound of the gong has the effect of timelessness – and of de-materialisation. People often have the experience of floating in space, or in an ocean. Some have inspiring visions, or see colours.

Resonance |
More than a musical instrument, the gong is a conduit for vibrational waves of energy, releasing reverberating tones of great fullness and resonance that interact with the human body on a very deep, even cellular level. The gong facilitates deep meditation; it can open all the chakras and enable healing to more readily occur, as the body concentrates on drawing in the sounds it needs to re-align and harmonise itself.
And the silence which settles when the gong bath ends is often very profound. Most people emerge from a gong bath feeling extremely relaxed, re-energised and refreshed. The aura, nerve and immune systems seem strengthened and the inner voice of higher consciousness more easily heard. A gong bath typically lasts for about 45 minutes plus a brief introduction beforehand and time at the end to gently return to normal awareness and for sharing. |
