Gongbath by Candlelight: A Deep and Immersive Sound Experience
Listen and relax to the beautiful sounds and resonances of a range of large gongs surrounded by the gentle light of the candles.
Feeling Sound – Resonance for Wellness
GONGS BY CANDLE LIGHT - SPECIAL SESSION
This special session will focus on the gentle and complex sounds and resonances of a range of large gongs to create a calming and yet powerful sonic meditation under the subtle and tranquil light of the candles in this beautiful setting.
The expansive harmonics and deeply therapeutic tones of the gongs can send you on a journey unlike any other instrument. The sounds of the gongs can take you beyond just mild relaxation and provide a deep and immersive connection with the sounds on both an audible and physical level.
The candles provide a peaceful visual element to the experience, bringing the sights and sounds together as one.
Further Information
Sound and well-being
Its important to make time for ourselves, and to look after our wellbeing. These sessions use a range of large gongs, played in a gentle and sensitive manner to help achieve a deep sense of relaxation and meditation which can help to restore the mind and body back to equilibrium.
What to expect
You will rest comfortably on the floor and listen to the sounds. You are not expected to do anything physically active. The session is aimed at relaxation and rest. Participants normally stay awake but reach a deep dreamlike state which can be extremely therapeutic for both the mind and body.
No previous experience is needed, and all will be explained before the session.
Sound Journey
The term refers to a deeper level of relaxation and meditation using therapeutic sound. The gongs are an integral part of this experience and the way they are played in a sensitive manner also adds to the overall effect.
What to bring
Please bring a mat (yoga mat/camping mat etc), one or two blankets, a pillow, eye covering and a bottle of water.
I do have spare mats available if requested in advance.
Always arrive early enough, normally 15 minutes before the start of the session to get relaxed and ready as preparation is essential to get the most out of the session.
Benefits of Sound therapy
Sound therapy can have a wide range of health benefits. It works very well as a form of preventative self care. One of the biggest benefits is stress reduction and reducing the negative impact that long term tension can have on both the mind and body.
Other benefits can include:
Promoting relaxation and well-being
Aids good sleep and reducing effects of insomnia
Improved circulation and boosting the immune system
Mindfulness and/or spiritual connection through meditation
Resting the mind, stopping overthinking
Pain relief
