Among the most innovative and effective energy techniques there are many whose basic assumption is as simple as it is profound to explore: we are materialized vibration.  The gong bath is one of them. 

Let’s see what gong baths are and how the vibration affects the whole body, restoring harmony.

What is the gong bath 

Through the percussion of the gong in the recipients, alpha but also theta and delta waves are stimulated in the brain, halfway between sleep and wakefulness. In this state, intuitions emerge, you go deep inside, intuitions move. 

When the frequencies produce alpha waves, of 8 cycles / second , we reach a calm and receptive mind, acute concentration and alert relaxation, up to theta waves, 4-7 cycles / second , which are the waves of deep meditation, lucid dreaming.

It should be considered that 8Hz is also the replication frequency of the DNA double helix . This frequency has effects on the viscera and internal organs, as well as on the bone and muscle structure. 

The gong bath takes place in groups but in some cases there are operators who offer personalized and individual treatments. There are not rare cases in which the gongs act as a support and sound basis for other holistic and practical activities, group work and workshops of various kinds.

Every single bathroom depends a lot on who runs it . Some experts know how to make it a celebration, a dance and are able to combine a certain sensitivity to wisdom with respect to sound and its powers.

In some cases, together with the gong, work with Tibetan bowls is combined or it is also introduced to harmonic singing, but, as already mentioned, it depends a lot on who organizes and carries out the experience.

In group sessions there is always a phase of sharing after the gong bath: we talk to each other, we compare ourselves, we open our hearts in a state of relaxation with which we then return home.

In this moment in which we speak to each other from the heart, no one is forced, no one is called to speak about the experience; sharing is usually very spontaneous and opens up immediate connections between people who have participated in the gong bath.

Benefits of the gong bath 

Sound puts you in deep contact with your interiority and opens up the possibility of hearing and perceiving in many areas, even unexplored. In fact, it is possible that during the experience one goes to localize in a specific part of the body , where the puslation wants to go.

The beneficial effects of sound also occur in the days following the bath . It actually has a soothing and transformative power. It acts on the physical body but also on the subtlest bodies.  Balance comes on a mental, emotional and spiritual level.

During the experience, a state of mental lightness and absence of thought is reached which lead to pure meditation: sound has the power to cancel negative emotions and thoughts from the subconscious that have settled in memory or self-boycott programming.
