WHAT TO EXPECT:
The class begins
with a brief explanation of the healing attributes of the gong and other s
ound therapy instruments. We open the space with a mantra and then use lig
ht movement and breathwork to prepare the body for the flow of energy to c
reate a receptive experience for deep relaxation. Participants will then g
et comfortable by lying down (preferred) or in another comfortable positio
n for 30-45 minutes to receive the multiple sounds\, vibrations\, and othe
r resonant tones and frequencies. As we build the sound and intensity of t
he Gongs\, we allow the sounds to naturally decay\, creating build and rel
ease cycles which are deeply therapeutic.
As Kevin explains\, "Thi s is called a bath as every cell in the body is 'bathed' in vibration\, al lowing us to 'release'\, very much like a physical massage\, stored physic al and emotional tension. The participant only needs to relax into letting go and the gongs do the rest of the work. While the experience requires v ery little effort\, the results are profound.
\nA Gong bath is a ver y personal and unique experience. Gongs speak to each of us differently\, on many different levels of our physical\, energetic\, emotional\, mental and spiritual bodies. It is a time of deep relaxation and expansion\, wher e transformation and healing can occur."
