A gong bath is a form of sound healing meditation that uses gongs to induce deep meditative states for relaxation, stress relief, and healing through the power of sound. Participants lie down or sit comfortably while being surrounded by the vibrations and sounds of gongs, crystal bowls, chimes, and other musical instruments. The goal is to promote relaxation, stress relief, and healing through the power of sound. Gong baths originated as spiritual and religious rituals, but they have now become a popular form of group therapy and one-on-one sound healing sessions. The gong produces a much deeper, more powerful sound so it can be especially good for shifting stuck emotions. During a gong bath, the sound practitioner will ask you to have an intention for the session which you will be able to keep throughout the session. Anyone looking for a way to relax or de-stress could benefit from a gong bath, and no prior knowledge or experience is required to attend one. Gong baths are often described as having transformational effects on body, mind, and spirit. Each persons experience is unique, but its possible for gong bathers to have a range of experiences from visions to epiphanies to creative solutions. Gong baths are a form of meditation that can help reduce stress levels by slowing down the heart and breath rate.
