What is a Gong Bath?

Predating the Bronze Age, gongs have been used for meditation, healing, and communication purposes for nearly 6,000 years. As rightfully described by Gong Master Don Conreaux, “the gong is known as an instrument of transformational power” and translates to “an engine of power releasing tone resonance and complex harmonics that are transferred to the recipient.” It is considered a bath as you are bathed in vibrations from the instruments.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1493″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” qode_css_animation=”” link=”http://vinyasaproductions.com/gong-bath/music-spheres/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1542329102971{margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1734″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Today, Gong Baths may utilize one or several gongs, in addition to various other ancient and/or new age instruments. Journeyers who participate in these sacred sound healing meditations often receive (and manifest) experiences that oscillate between the intensely introspective and the extremely cosmic, often fusing into some combination of the two while helping you shed that which does not serve you. And that’s just the beginning…[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text]On a production level, a Gong Bath works by participants laying down with their heads closest to the gongs, allowing the vibrations of the gongs to wash over them the crown to the root. This allows energy to be discharged from the fingers and toes. Participants are encouraged to lay in complete stillness to allow the vibrations the opportunity to move stagnant energies.
Gong Baths may be hard to accurately describe to those who have not yet experienced them firsthand, but we can safely assert that they are indeed very strong, particularly during crescendos, and will leave you feeling refreshed and resonating with notable healing effects on your body, mind, and spirit.[/vc_column_text][vc_zigzag][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” anchor=”how” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1543003580284{margin-top: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;border-top-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1543008389895{margin-bottom: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;}”]

Visions

Creative Problem Solving
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Gong Baths are a form of meditation. As you are able to stay present with the journey and clear your mind of chatter, you may experience moments of epiphany when inspiration or solutions present themselves. These thoughts are good to acknowledge in order commit them to memory, but you are encouraged to not follow them too far down the rabbit hole and to rejoin the meditation. In these cases, it is nice to have a journal to write down these thoughts.[/vc_column_text][/qode_content_slider_item][qode_content_slider_item][vc_column_text]
Emotional Healing
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Our emotions are vibrations. The harmonics of the sound healing hold a space for our emotional selves to be expressed and disharmony can tune to the overall harmony of your body. You may laugh, cry, feel angry or scared, as the journey penetrates your emotional body. Many experience a sense of relief and even at times bliss after a sound healing.[/vc_column_text][/qode_content_slider_item][qode_content_slider_item][vc_column_text]
Physical Discharge
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Gong Baths are some of the most powerful, intense, and loud sound healings. It is common for the body to vibrate, even to the point of shaking, as the vibrations course over and through you. Often referenced as a type of exfoliation, you may experience debris such as stress and tension being scrapped from your body as the vibrations clear your body. The strength of the soundwaves and overall vibrational forces generated during our Gong Baths can activate stagnant/tight energies dwelling throughout the body. Some experience an energetic discharge in the form of shaking throughout the body, often times out of the hands and the feet.[/vc_column_text][/qode_content_slider_item][qode_content_slider_item][vc_column_text]
