As a Gong and Reiki Master, Micheal will provide you with a triune of three high vibrational energies, Crystal,Reiki and Sound, all blended together with spiritual Intent to provide you with a psycho-acoustic experience like no other.

A Different Vibe Every Time

Micheal's Gong & Sound Baths each offer there own diferrent Vibe, which will feel different each time. Micheal's Gong Space will have been prepared for you, and will be brimming with Positive, Happy, Healing energy, which your aura will detect within minutes.

Your Journey Starts Right Here

You are invited onto a very special and magical journey, one that will invoke your inner senses while calming,soothing and balancing your mind and body. Your destination is a place where wellbeing, relaxation and healing abide, a place where altered states of consciousness, plus high vibrational healing energy await you, and each journey promises to be different and different for everyone else.

Micheal's Gong Space will have been prepared for you, and will be brimming with Positive, Happy, Healing energy, which your aura will detect within minutes. These journey's can resemble a day dream, where your mind can feel miles away from your body, but your always connected. And as you slowly come back down to Earth, your body will be waiting for you, but it will feel different. Less Stressed, More Calm,Balanced, Uplifted and Energised. Most people say they feel lighter, and happier, having Sensed and Felt the Warmth and Love of the Universe.

It has almost all the benefits associated with meditation, but with the minimal effort on your part. In fact the only effort is Qigongs simple, yet powerful Healing Smile, at our lungs first then our heart, and a different method of breathing, where for the first few minutes we use a double breath in and a long deep breath out, then its normal breathing and just going with the flow, you can even fall asleep and still receive the benefits.

The Gong has a tremendous potential for lowering stress, calming and healing the mind and body, as it covers the full spectrum of sound, vibrating, and massaging every one of the trillions of cells that make up your body. These healing vibrations are fully absorbed and assimilated. While on this journey we are returned to an intrinsic state of homeostasis, or optimal state of functioning.

Preparation

Please try to avoid any large meals, and alcohol prior to arriving. It is quite normal for your body temperature to drop during a Gong Bath, and warm loose fitting clothes are recommended. The room is heated and carpeted , but a yoga mat, cushion and blanket are recommended. Many attendees now bring a sleeping bag, or airbed with a blanket and cushion, to stay warm and comfy.

Micheal has several Yoga Mats,blankets and cushions, eye covers and knee supports (for those with lower back problems)that you can use if you dont have your own. Being flat on the floor with your head facing the Gong will provide the best experience. There are several high backed armchairs for those who prefer to sit, please ask Micheal on arrival.

Micheal's Gong Bath provides all the benefits of meditation, but with a fraction of the effortIf you have not experienced a Gong Bath before don’t worry there is no ‘getting wet’. The term ‘bath’ relates to you being ‘bathed’ in sound waves. A Gong Bath is a very unique experience where it can feel different each time, and also different for everyone present.

Below. The best preparation. Snug & cosy on a yoga mat, or in a sleeping bag is the best way to experience a Gong Bath, with your head facing the Gong.

What should I expect during a session?

Come with an open heart and a smile, and expect the unexpected, where healing and calmness are possible. A journey where your body is re-booted, re-calibrated and cleansed as the vibrations massage every one of your bodies 37 trillion cells,and where the healing qualities are fully absorbed, and assimilated. All the good things coming your way is of a benevolent nature, full of love, healing and positive intentions.

Your Healing Journey Begins Here

• Once you are comfortable and settled Micheal will give a brief introduction and set the intention, which you can repeat, or you can choose your own. He will then guide you to close your eyes and begin taking a deep breath in followed by a second short breath, a brief pause then a long breath out as you pull your tummy muscles in. This will remove more C02 (Carbon Dioxide) from your body than any other breathing method, together with any any stale stagnant energy that has been trapped in your body. This method is also more effective in lowering stress, anxiety and tension as well as your blood pressure and providing more relaxation for your body.
• With the eyes closed, and the deep breathing this will help slow your brain waves from Beta, to Alpha, while having a direct positive effect on the vagus nerve causing your parasympathetic nervous system to relax the bodies main organs.
• The crystals you will be holding have been Reikied so you will receive both Crystal and Reiki healing energy for as long as you hold them.
• Micheal's short guided meditation will be Qigongs Inner smile, which will initially send healing energy directly into your lungs and heart, but you are free to carry on using this for any other organs or areas of your body you want to concentrate on.
• As the Gong begins your brainwaves will slow further taking you beyond Alpha into Theta and possibly Delta.

Your Healing Journey Continued

• Now you can focus on healing energy from the gong flowing through your body,or you can focus on your slow rhythmic breathing, or let your mind wander to some nice positive places, or you can even allow yourself to fall asleep if you want, and you will still receive all the benefits.Many people cycle through each of these.
• Your bodies vibrational rate will begin to rise, to match the higher vibrations from the Sound, Crystals, and Reiki. As this happens any harmful negative energy in your body will begin to collapse, and fall away and this will initiate your body to begin healing itself.
• Your levels of calm and relaxation will increase, plus the soothing of your nervous system, strengthening your immune and energy systems and releasing a host of hormones to make you feel good.
• During the Gong Bath you will be transported on a journey where you will feel the connection with the universe. These connections produce profound levels of peace and calmness as well as unconditional absolute love.
• The session eventually comes to an end, as the Gong falls silent. This is not an empty silence however, it is a sacred silence created by the gong sounds fading away, full of intense profound healing power, many people find this part of the session the most powerful.
• Included with the cost of your ticket, and starting from the following evening Micheal will send you a distant Reiki healing session each evening right up to the following Sunday.

"Slowing our breathing down is a free ticket to an altered state of consciousness" (New Scientist May 22 .2021 p. 37)

Welcome To The Newcastle Quaker Meeting House

Micheal has been hosting regular monthly Gong Baths at the Quaker Meeting House, in Gosforth Newcastle since July 2021. This beautiful building is the perfect venue, offering a calming spiritual feel. Located in the heart of Gosforth just off the high street and close to the Trinity church. Doors open at 1.30 for a prompt 2 pm start. You will find us on the first floor. Staff at the house will be on hand to let you in and out. The venue has disabled access and a lift as well as toilets on both floors.

There are currently no parking restrictions on West Avenue on a Sunday, and there is provision to park on the wide pavement at the front of the house, and the building has its own car park at the rear of the house. There are several other car parks close by, including; Trinity Church just across the road which also has a coffee shop- Regent Centre - Gosforth Centre - Salters Road - St Nicholas Avenue - and Asda Car park. If you are travelling by public transport to Gosforth, the high street and Regent centre interchange are only a short walk away, while Newcastle centre is only a few minutes away by bus or metro.

Experiencing Energies

During a Crystal Reiki Gong Bath it is very possible you will feel the connection with the universe, and even the creator of all things through the Plasma Field. This can be a very memorable and emotional for many, but in a truly good and positive way. While you are in the protection and safety of the Gong Space, many people will experience positive feelings of peace, bliss,contentment, happiness, joy, compassion and love throughout the session as your body begins resonating at a higher frequency from the combination of Crystals, Reiki and Sound Vibrations.

It is possible for some people to experience very brief moments of anxiety, grief or sadness while harmful negative energies are momentarily brought back into our consciousness, before they collapse, and fall away and this is perfectly normal and beneficial release to maintain our mental health.

Should this happen you can restart your deep belly breaths. You can also restart the simple Inner smile at any point, aiming the smile at the centre of the negative memory, image or trauma which has come into your awareness. This will help to re-ground you, and minimise any anxieties or other negative feelings associated with the event, should it happen. Micheal also incorporates periods of silence or "Sandhya" between the sounds, in order to help your mind reorganise and release any negative experiences,and feelings. The 7 Crystal Reiki healing sessions you will receive afterwards, will also help greatly to completely re balance you and your energy.

The Gongs

Gongs are one of the oldest and most powerful therapeutic and transformational instruments on this world. For thousands of years these timeless instruments have been used for, ceremonies, rituals, prayers, and meditation. Sound Healing can raise our bodies vibration, and at the same time slow down our brainwaves, together this greatly enhances the body’s natural ability to regenerate and heal itself, and reach its optimal state of functioning, while offering a psycho-acoustic gateway to a heightened state of consciousnesses, as the sound frequencies surpass the intellectual part of the brain before travelling to the core of the bodies cellular system, where the healing qualities can be fully absorbed and assimilated.

The Gong produces a huge Plasma Field around everyone present

The late theoretical physicist "David Bohm" discovered that when a Gong is played, the metal becomes “excited”, and the electrons become highly charged electromagnetically, forming a huge plasma field to be created off the Gong and both the player and listeners become part of that field. When the vibrational activity of the Gong ends, the electrons ‘go back’ to their original atoms, and once the Gong comes to rest the energy field collapses. When the Gong is revved up again the Plasma field expands and intensifies. Thus from a scientific point the participants of the event are being electromagnetically charged in a positive, benevolent and holistic fashion. Many walk away with a natural buzz that in some case has lasted for a week. Metal is the only material known where the electrons leave their atoms and join other atoms

The Gongs have a tremendous potential for healing and rejuvenation, and are played with a variety of mallets, and styles of play to overly avoid a monotonous rhythm. Each Gong is capable of producing not only beautiful tones, but complex rich overtones. These haunting magical sounds from the gong can quickly entrain our brainwaves to slow down from the normal waking "Beta state" into the lower "Alpha" and "Theta" states and for many the journey will take them even deeper into the "Delta". state.

These altered states of consciousness are well researched and shown to reduce tension and stress, improve blood pressure, elevate our moods, calming our minds, whilst promoting healing and wellbeing. Coupled with our increased vibrational rate help connect us to our higher selves and the universe.

Thank you for your interest, and I hope to see you soon.

In peace, Light and Love

E.P Tynemouth.

"Total relaxation, in a very relaxing environment. The class enables you to switch off your mind completely (which is something not to be underestimated in these times). Immediately after the class my whole body felt invigorated, and my persona and general outlook on life was so much more sunny and bright for the weeks that followed. I felt that the class was a complete cleansing experience of my mind, body and soul and I would highly recommend it to everyone to give it a go."

J.B Newcastle Upon Tyne.

What a total chill out. I wouldn't have believed I could have relaxed to this degree.

N.S. Bedlington, Northumberland.

"My body felt as if was floating away, but in a nice way. Then my ear popped and it was if all my stress came out in one go, I felt great after that".

D.C. South Shields. Tyne and Wear.

K.W. Morpeth, Northumberland.

"I came with my friend, and we were both a little sceptical at first, but as the session progressed my mind just drifted away to somewhere else. It certainly exceeded all my expectations. My friend said she has never felt so relaxed. We will both be back".

H.T. Fenham, Newcastle Upon Tyne.

"Earlier this year I lost my connection and faith after my father passed away, and I hoped this session would somehow re-connect me, and restore my faith. It did, thank you so much Michael, I couldn't have asked for more".

P.D. Felling, Gateshead.

"I attended Michael’s gong bath session at Seaton Sluice. I’ve done gong and sound baths before but this was my best experience yet. If you’ve not tried it before I would definitely recommend, it’s very relaxing and hard to put into words how it makes you feel. Perfect start to a Saturday". A.S Newcastle

"Michael is a great therapist. He is warm, friendly and above all, professional. I had a taste of my first ever Gong Bath yesterday. No water or nudity is involved! I lay on a couch feeling comfortable and secure while Michael created the most amazing healing sounds using a single Gong. I was transported to a place of bliss carried on the wings of the sound vibration. A very relaxing session came to an end and I needed some time to feel grounded again. Michael made me a cup of soothing herbal tea and I gradually returned to the land of living. I would highly recommend a session of Gong Bath therapy with Michael Fothergill "

R.S-A Newcastle Upon Tyne

"Couldn’t agree more I too felt uplifted and energised following this session Would recommend this man without hesitation. His sound gong session was amazing and I can’t wait for the next one"

C.W Stanley Co Durham

"Its was lovely to see Michael today, had a gong bath treatment. I wasnt too sure what to expect, it was relaxing, through out the treatment. I suffer with slight back pain and has been on going for a while. I have found since having the gong bath my back feels so much better, i am so chilled. I would definitely recommend trying this. The experience is lovely and will be having more gong baths. Thank you Michael "
