Group Meditations with Gongs and Tibetan Bowls

* No mind can resist a well-played gong. (Yogi Bhajan)

The group sessions with gongs and Tibetan bowls aim at energy cleansing and harmonization, releasing of stress and tension, deep relaxation and meditation. If you want to relax and release stress and tension; if you want to let go of burdensome thoughts and get rid of negative emotions, or if you just want to harmonize yourself energetically and meditate on the healing sounds of these ancient instruments, then these sessions are precisely for you!

The group sessions give you the opporitunity to experience and enjoy the so-called "gong bath". A gong bath is a waterless bath where the gong produces a whole spectrum of harmonics that engulfs and bathes us in its sound and vibrations. The powerful vibrations of the gong transport us to another level of being and place where healing naturally occurs and the stresses of everyday life are gently washed away.

"Where the Alpha/Primal music and Omega/Space music meet is a place we call the Gong-field of total sound and tone fullness. It is a vibratory place in which omni-present pressure waves of tones nest together and crest like ocean waves. This sound field is considered to be an acoustical matrix or (healing tone) vortex,that may induce a de-materialization of the logical mind, and suspend the listener in a state of timelessness. This is what has been referred to as the deeply healing Gong Bath.

Here, in the oceanic waters of Gong-tone, lies the quantum field of consciousness, where mere suggestion of intention can nest within the chaos of pure potential, and when we awaken, it is with a sense of strengthened soul purpose and creative freedom of choice, ready to return to the material (outer) world renewed, energized and peaceful. The Gong Bath has been likened to a mini-vacation, in which we become both the bubble and the sea as we experience a sense of disappearing and reappearing, leading us to new beginnings and a fresh place of self-healing and self revelation." (Grand Master Don Conreaux)

In a gong bath, the listener lies down on a soft mat, in comfortable clothes and a warm cover on top for full comfort and best experience. The gong bath is performed in a calm and pleasant environment such as a meadow in nature or in a quiet and well-aired room with soft light. The sessions last about an hour, during which the sound of the gong could vary in its rhythm and intensity. Accordingly, based on individual perception, a gong bath could be a musical experience, or an opportunity for relaxation or a more profound experience of meditation, therapy and self healing.

In addition to gongs, we use Tibetan bowls, Indian harmonium and other healing instruments, as well as overtone singing and mantras.
