Gong Sound Bath ~1hr 10
Nothing is required of attendees during the Gong Sound Bath other than to pick a spot to lie down on a yoga mat, wrapped up snug in blankets and relax ready for the gong frequencies, resonance and deep vibrations to wash over you.

What can I expect?
Every Gong Sound Bath is different and a very personal experience depending on where you are on your personal journey through life.

You don't need to know how to meditate or focus on being mindful and present as the Gong Sound Bath can quickly transport you to a meditative state for deeper relaxation.

Distracted by the depth of resonance, sounds and vibrations our busy minds succumb to the varying frequencies* as our internal chatter or rumination thoughts can quickly move towards a dreamy state.

Some people report a light or floating feeling , others relaxed and heavy. Whatever your personal experience, you may well let go of your daily stresses and anxieties, and leave the session feeling tranquil and relaxed.

*The science theory behind this?
The gong sound waves relax our mind’s vibration frequencies from a busy or cluttered Beta brainwave state (14-40hz), associated with stress, anxiety and restlessness, towards a more daydreamy state of flow and presence in an alpha brainwave state (8 to 14 Hz) where memory, visualisation and concentration are heightened.
As we continue to relax we may enter a theta brainwave state (4-7.5hz) which is associated with deep meditation and hypnosis. It’s in this Theta Brainwave state that we access our creative and vivid visualisation state.
Some people relax so much that they start to snore, this is the activation of the Delta brainwave state (0.5-4hz)

Equipment needed?
To get the most benefit from a gong bath we should be comfortable and warm lying on the floor for an extended period of time as when our heart rate lowers during a gong bath, so does our body temperature, and we will be outdoors also.

Attendees may wish to bring their own:

Warm layers, and thick socks
Weighted Eye pillow* or mask
Blanket*
Cushion*
Yoga Mat* (and ideally a duvet or added padding to lie on)
Water to keep hydrated
* a limited number will to available to borrow
