WHAT IS A GONG BATH? A gong bath is an immersive sound experience. It's called a 'bath' because sound waves 'wash' over you as you relax and enjoy the melodic journey. The harmonics will effortlessly lull your mind into a meditative state, while the vibrations revitalize your body and help to release tension. By the end, you'll feel supremely relaxed, calm and happy.
LEARN TO PLAY THE GONG!
Playing the gong for yourself or others is a deeply gratifying practice. You do not need to have any prior musical training or special talent. It’s an intuitive practice, so anyone can learn to play as long as you remain curious, motivated and let yourself be guided by a positive intention.
