How it feels – When played by a skilled artist, the gong’s deep vibrations move around and through your body in a most delightful and amazing way. Most newcomers to this are in awe that the vibrations have such an unexpected and awesome impact on the body and mind.
How we use them
Gongs facilitate healing and provide musical entertainment in sound concerts and other events. Tibetan monks and others around the world use the gong for meditation, celebrations, weddings and funerals. Gong players also use the gong at grand openings, and at many other special events—even at birthings. Soft gonging often accompanies yoga, qigong and tai chi sessions. Gongs bring peace and joy in hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, yoga studios, schools and at festivals of all types.
What it does
Sound therapists use the gong to invite the body, mind, and spirit into balance. The healing harmonic vibrations enter the body, where organs and cells vibrate in sympathetic resonance, urging the body to return to its natural, healthy state. While in a meditative state, physical, mental, and emotional stresses are released. If recipients allow the monkey chatter of their left brains to stop, the vibrations will open the right brain to spiritual inspiration from beyond the finite self.
