Gong Healing & Guided Meditation

Gong meditation has been around for thousands of years as a way of healing. It uses soothing and therapeutic sounds and vibrations to give the mind something to focus on, keeping it occupied and gently guiding you into deep meditation. Alpha frequencies, which are associated with creativity and feelings of relaxation, come first, and they are followed by Theta brainwaves, linked to deep meditation, and REM sleep.

Gong meditation is based on the understanding that our body's cells vibrate at different frequencies. Factors such as stress, depression, and illness trigger non-optimal frequency changes in parts of our bodies, causing disharmony. When your body absorbs sound waves of the gong the vibrations restore harmony to the body, mind, and spirit.

The workshop will begin with gentle movement appropriate for all levels to clear space for the gong's healing. Then we will lie down to listen to the gong and end with a meditation designed to encourage a calm heart.

Requirements: Bring your yoga mat, blankets, and a pillow.
