Gong Bath Meditations
The Gong is a sacred and ancient instrument of healing, rejuvenation and transformation. Gong bath meditations are a type of sound therapy. Sound Healing can alter brain wave frequencies and in particular enable you to enter such deep states of relaxation that it will bring you into the alpha-theta brain wave state. This is the optimal brain wave frequency for the triggering of self-healing to take place.
As our bodies are 80% water, the sound vibration begins to resonate throughout your body. This has a very healing effect on restoring and strengthening the parasympathetic nervous system as well as moving energy blocks within the body. This creates a flow within you and opens your mind, as your mind opens, limiting thoughts and beliefs in the subconscious mind are released, filling the mind with peace. This peace within you brings the body, mind and spirit into a state of homeostasis. It has a connection to the Lunar energy of the feminine and experiencing the Gong during the full moon or new moon opens us to the healing, nurturing and intuition of the feminine.
Why Do We Use The Gong for Healing?
The Gong produces a strong sound wave, almost tangible to the touch, which stimulates the physical body by influencing the surface of the skin and every cell.
On a physical level, the Gong releases tension and blocks in the body, it stimulates a higher functioning of the glandular and nervous system, it increases prana, our vital life force and improves circulation. The sound of a live Gong stimulates circulation while its wide range of frequencies stimulates the nerve endings. The pituitary gland is directly affected by its sound which in turn causes the whole glandular system to become balanced.
As physical distress and illness often have an emotional and stress related component as well, the Gong affects the physical health by also working in these areas. The Gong works deeply on the mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. It purifies and quietens the mind. It literally cuts through the linear mind and clears the clutter from the subconscious mind to reveal the radiant and authentic self. It has the capacity to bring us to our neutral mind that is wise and non-judgemental. It helps turn the mind to zero, the state of stillness where innate wisdom can be accessed.
