A Gong Bath is a type of meditation where you are enveloped in the vibrations of sound. The Gong is a large, circular metal disc that is played with a mallet. When the gong is struck, it produces a deep, resonant sound that can be felt as well as heard. The vibrations of the Gong have a healing and relaxing effect on the body and mind.
What to expect
Our Gong Baths are held in a quiet, darkened room, where you will lie down on the floor in comfortable gear and close their eyes. Suzanne then begins to play the gong, slowly and gently at first, and then building to a crescendo. The sound of the gong can be very intense, but it is important to relax and let the vibrations wash over you.
Our monthly Gong Bath lasts about one hour, when we then encourage you rest and reflect on your experience. Gong baths can be a very powerful and transformative experiences. They can help to reduce stress, anxiety, and pain. They can also improve sleep, boost creativity, and increase feelings of well-being.
Why we love them and why we run them monthly
The Gongs work on all aspects of our being, our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. The rich layers of sound which emanate from the Gong affects every part of us, including the non-physical subtle energy bodies of the human auric field which are layered around the physical body that we can see in 3D. It is said that dis-ease begins in the subtle energy body, and only migrates to the physical after some time. Therefore, if we can remove blockages, imbalances and stagnant energy in the energy body before it manifests in the physical, we can prevent illness and keep ourselves healthy, as well as re-tuning and harmonising every part of our physical being.
On an emotional level, the Gong sounds have a clearing effect and help to shift old patterns and bring up and clear out old emotional issues and trauma, so that we can move on. Mentally, the Gong sounds help to move our focus from the logical left brain into the creative right side of the brain, where we connect with our intuitive power and receive guidance from that central source.
