All Night Gong Puja Journey Spring Equinox

All-Night Galactic Gong Puja : A Spring Equinox Celebration

Step into a celestial symphony of sound and celebrate the arrival of the sun's triumphant return with our incredibly popular Spring Equinox All-Night Galactic Gong and Sacred Sound Journey on Saturday, March 21st, at the Green Rooms in Wood Green.

The Spring Equinox marks a pivotal moment when the natural world awakens from its long slumber. Just as dormant seeds begin to sprout, animals emerge, and the earth warms with new life, this is your cosmic invitation to a personal and spiritual rebirth.

This is the perfect moment to plant the seeds of new projects, embrace personal growth, and release old patterns to create sacred space for new experiences to blossom.

Beyond the literal planting of seeds, this time is a powerful metaphor for setting intentions and nurturing your deepest dreams. It is an opportunity to reflect on your hopes and actions that you wish to manifest into something profoundly meaningful over the coming months.

This process mirrors how a single, nurtured seed can transform into a beautiful flower, encouraging you to focus on hope, patience, and the idea that small efforts and strong intentions coupled together can create a spectacular space for healing and transformation to occur.

The Cosmic Embrace of Sound

Experience the sheer power of sound as it transports you on a timeless, galactic journey of tone and pulsation. Allow yourself to be bathed in an ethereal ocean of vibration. Enjoy the deep, complex overtones of multiple gongs singing together, resonating continuously through the night.

On this magical Equinox portal when the veil is thin and the Earth is charged, we are primed to receive maximum benefits.

This immersive soundscape melts the boundaries between being awake and asleep, between your inner world and the cosmos beyond.

An All-Night Gong Puja is a truly magical experience. As you drift to sleep with a symphony of gongs playing, the sounds work to transform your brainwaves, guiding you into a state of the deepest conscious sleep. Meditate or surrender to slumber as the gongs harmonize your entire being, facilitating profound rest and healing.

"The gong is the spirit song. It is the primal whisper of the soul. Its sounds are the echo of the original word that created the world, the sound within all sounds." Yogi Bhajan

Gongs are incredible instruments of Transformation and cosmic healing. They generate powerful, intense vibrations that stimulate feelings of peace and deep relaxation, allowing for the release of stress and the enhancement of your overall well-being. The sound of the gongs opens the gates to universal love, connecting you with all that is. As you create this harmonious space around yourself, you'll realize the magnificent power you possess to create your own happiness and well-being. This journey will help you release emotional blocks, creating a hallowed space within you to fill with pure love, grace and tranquility.

Our Flow

We will begin the evening with gentle Kundalini Yoga stretches to allow your body to open and prepare for the sound waves to flow smoothly, healing and rejuvenating you. This will be followed with sacred mantra to uplift and inspire our souls.

After a short break to set up your cozy 'sleeping nests,' you will receive a brief introduction to gongs and vibrations before being bathed in their sound waves until the morning light. As the powerful vibrations and harmonics wash over you, they will induce deep relaxation and natural altered states of consciousness, helping to release tensions and blockages. You will awaken revitalized and rejuvenated, brimming with a new zest for life!

The sound may feel quite intense at moments at the beginning of the night, but we will gently ease into a more comforting flow until the early morning. Around 5:30 am, the gongs will fall silent for 30 minutes of stillness and reflection. During this time, you will dive into SHUNIA—a state of deep listening and profound silence—before being gently awakened by the sounds of the shabd, (healing mantras) that help you arise into a new you and a new life. We will then perform some celestial meditation to celebrate our fresh new beginning.

What is a Gong Puja?

Puja (Sanskrit & Pali: pūjā) is an expression of "honor and devotional attention." A Gong Puja is a sacred space for honoring our being's innate ability to heal—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It is the truest form of honoring thyself!

In an all-night Gong Puja, the gongs are played gently throughout the night while guests sleep, bathed in their healing vibrations. As you are immersed in this cosmic ocean of sound, you repair and rejuvenate as the vibrations wash over you, cleansing, unblocking, and setting you free. The powerful harmony created by the gong tones brings about an inner stillness where deep healing can occur.

The pioneering Swiss mathematician and musicologist Hans Cousto, who calculated the planetary frequencies used in today's gongs, discovered it takes 45 minutes to complete a full sound journey.

Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, believed the gong was the most powerful tool for healing, and that this 45-minute session could clear immediate blocks. He stated that ten consecutive gong healings would clear most blocks so that the soul could then heal itself, relieving the body of human suffering and helping us return to a state of belonging and joy.

In 2000, Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux developed the first official Overnight Gong Puja to deliver these ten consecutive gong baths in one grand night of healing. As participants slept, their minds could float in a state of cosmic consciousness while their bodies rested in the most optimal state for healing—deep sleep. This 7.5-hour experience is the equivalent of ten 45-minute gong baths, a truly timeless journey.

Important Information:

Is a Gong Puja suitable for everyone?

Gong baths, in general, are not suitable for anyone with a pacemaker, those who suffer from fits (epileptics), or anyone who is extremely sensitive to sound. They are also not recommended for women in the first trimester of pregnancy due to the unstable nature of that time.

If you wear a hearing aid, please turn it off during the session. If you have any health concerns, please consult with your doctor in advance.

Looking forward to celebrating and serving you with love.
