What on Earth is a Gong Bath?!
Gong Baths completely immerse, or bathe, you in sound, allowing you to experience a way to let go and take time out from every day life. Each experience of a Gong Bath will be unique and people are often presented with the experience that they need in the moment. Some people fall asleep, some experience visions, some see colour, others have physical sensations.
Gong Baths usually last for just over an hour. Participants lay on a yoga mat or padded mat for the duration of the Gong Bath. After settling in with some breath work or guided relaxation the gongs will be played alongside a variety of instruments including; shruti box, crystal singing bowls, tibetan singing bowls, drums and of course the voice.
Playing the gongs creates a vast soundscape that is profoundly moving. The vibrations from the gongs reduce stress by encouraging activation of the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for our rest, digestion and healing. The sound and frequency of the gongs during a gong bath washes over participants evoking feelings of relaxation, calm and balance whilst inviting the listener into a state of openness in which to process subconscious thoughts or feelings. This spontaneous meditative state induced by the gongs creates a sense of expansion and deeper awareness, and can be a truly amazing experience!
Following a gong bath people often report increased feelings of wellbeing, contentment and balance, improved sleep quality, reduction in feelings of stress or anxiety alongside other physical benefits.

What do I need to bring for a Gong Bath?

Wear comfortable clothing, warm socks are always a good idea!
My first gong bath was in 1998 at Glastonbury Festival, an experience that marked the start of my transition into working with the healing arts. I made the decision to train as a Gong Master and bring this beautiful form of sound healing to Sacred Garden nearly 20 years later and have loved every moment of it since!
