Gong Bath
The gong is a musical instrument infused with history, healing properties and symbolic significance. Gongs were first created in the East almost 6000 years ago. During a gong “bath”, the gong is struck in different areas with a mallet, creating various vibrations and sound energies that flow through the nervous system of the listeners, opening, clearing and rejuvenating the mind and body. The body absorbs the vibrations it needs, and filters those it does not need. Many listeners experience relief from pain, and an immediate calming of the mind. Take this opportunity to let the stresses of the workweek melt away. Simply lie on your back and enjoy the unique tones and harmonics created by the gong. It is truly a remarkable experience.
