What is Gong Bath Meditation?
Gong bath meditation is the vibration from gongs and other light instruments that help shift the body and mind to a deeply restorative state, enabling the release of spent emotion and leaving a state of calm lightness.
You may have heard of this termed ‘sound bath immersion’, ‘gong bath sound healing’, ‘gong bath sound meditation’ or simply ‘gong baths’ because participants are ‘bathed’ in the gong sound waves and an inner cleansing takes place.
The aim of gong bath meditation is often therapeutic, but its greater aim is awareness and non-judgmental appreciation of the present moment. To lift vibrations fully into fourth densities being grounded deeply in love and light.
Gong bath therapy has been used to manage a broad range of health conditions and treatments are based upon the understanding that all forms of matter – including cells in our body – vibrate at different frequencies. Factors such as anxiety, depression, stress and disease cause cells and organs within our bodies to vibrate at suboptimal frequencies.
In addition, some mindfulness meditation techniques also use sound as their focus as opposed to the breath or a physical sensation. Therefore, the awareness of sound is not used as a therapy, but rather as an anchor for the mind to come back to. Being mindful of sound, just like being mindful of breath, requires finding a contented balance between awareness and relaxation.
The gongs rich layer of overtones has a clearing effect on emotional issues which have been suppressed in the body and the sound vibrations can break up negative and limiting thought patterns.
The total experience can be viewed as a total retuning of your whole self. For many, relief is immediate and for others, it may take a few gong baths until a deep state of relaxation and balance is reached.
“To pierce the veil beyond our usual senses buddha quote “what we think we become””
What are the benefits of Gong Sound Baths?
Gong sound baths are considered one of the most restorative and healing meditations because of the profound state of relaxation that can be attained in response to the sound vibrations. Your whole physical body is bathed in sound and aches and pains often subside.
Sound bath meditation helps to reduce stress and release emotional blockages. Some vibrations are thought to promote healing and vitality and increase happiness.
Speak with our gong bath meditation therapist if you have a particular ailment you wish to focus on.

How is Gong Bath Meditation practiced?
An important point to emphasise is that you do not have to do anything except make yourself comfortable, let go and be open to receiving the sound vibrations of the gong.
You are asked to rest in a comfortable position, either on a mat on the floor or, in a chair if you prefer, and make yourself cosy with blankets and pillows if you wish (please bring these along). Then close your eyes and relax and Sally will guide you through the session.
The session will start by undertaking a breathing or visualisation meditation which helps participants to feel more relaxed.
Sally will bring in some soothing instrument sounds such as a singing bowl or wind chimes and then will slowly and lightly start to play the gong. The gong will be played very gently at first and as the gong bath meditation session progresses, the volume may gradually be increased, but not to uncomfortable levels. The gong sound is frequently changed to avoid producing a repetitive and fixed rhythm. Our gong sound therapist will sensitively and mindfully play the gong for about 45 minutes and end in a powerful 5 minutes silence. There is no script or musical score to follow. It is a totally organic experience in the moment and one of deep inner exploration.
During your first gong bath, your mind will likely be curious to all of the different sounds so it may take one or two more gong baths to completely let go and relax but you should start to benefit from it from the very beginning.
Is Gong Bath Meditation right for me?

You have a severe mental health issue or suffer from serious heart conditions.
