Gong Baths
What is a Gong Bath?
A Gong Bath involves using healing gong sounds and frequencies to bring about healing and wellbeing. Gong and sound therapy have been practiced for thousands of years and are reputed to have many health benefits: Heart rate and respiration rates slow down and with the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, you may experience improved digestion, sleep and immune functioning. Sound frequencies work on a cellular level and studies suggest a Gong Bath can also support anxiety, stress, depression and release emotional blockages. More recently, there has been scentific evidence to suggest that certain forms of sound prompt DNA strands to repair themselves.
What to expect during a Gong Bath
When you attend a Gong Bath, you will be invited to lie down on a meditation mat and rest in a comfortable position. Nothing is expected of you, and you can just relax. A Gong Bath will last approximately 45 minutes; the gongs will be played quietly at the start of the session and the voloume will slowly increase, though never to an uncomfortable level. There is always a short period of silence at the end of the session; this helps intergrate the experience.
