Gongs have been used as shamanic tools and celebratory instruments for thousands of years, and are truly part of the tradition that is sound healing, which uses techniques such as chanting, drums, and Tibetan bowls to name few.
The benefits one can get from being exposed to the tones of the gongs are numerous, yet vary considerably. Most people when they are around gongs have been noticing a major improvement in the quality of their sleep, a better ability to cope with stress, and a sense of familiarity with stillness and contentment.
I have been practising Yoga and Meditation for decades so would like to write about how Gongs can alter the state of consciousness.
Our normal waking consciousness corresponds to the Beta state, which is our brain emitting waves between 13-30Hertz. The feeling of relaxation and concentration is linked to the Alpha state, which sends waves between 8-13Hertz. Then we can go into Theta state (5-7Hertz), associated with Rapid Eye Movement and release of muscular spasms and energetic blockages. Last but not least, Delta state (0.5-4Hertz), emitting extremely low vibrations associated with deep sleep and other unconscious states.
To illustrate this frequency state, a lot of us tend to be on a full on Beta state with a little dash of Alpha during the day, and if fortunate enough, a decent amount of hours spent emitting Delta waves at night. We do not necessarily want 10 hours of Theta waving nevertheless, we all need considerably more time spent in Theta state, so that we are able to concentrate and relax on demand through Alpha waves.
Talking about switching from one state to another, most Yogis excel at the task. Some of them even can alter their heart beat, production of body heat as well as sweat production!
Gong symbolises G Force, Generating, Organising and Destroying Force. It puts the mind in a deep meditative state. It is extremely powerful. Gong played well is a gift of God, putting Heaven right on Earth. Bad gong playing can actually damage you. It can disrupt the flow of energy in the body.
The Gong sound brings the mind to its most positive point where it can be at its most productive and efficient. It will tell the body to go to its optimum strength where healing and vitality can be released.
The Gong sound is associated with the Universe and with Ancient cultures. You feel the sound vibration right in your core, in your gut. It is an incredible experience. Listen and enjoy the Gong bath experience! If you ever have the chance to participate in a live gong bath, don't miss it! Recording will never replace live music experience and I mean no amplification either! Real, live, natural sound!
