February Retreat Afternoon - Yin & Gong
Saturday 1st February 2025 - 2:30pm - 4:45pm
Class Info
A Gong Bath is a form of sound healing meditation. Everyone is immersed in the vibrations of the gongs and instruments during a session (you are bathed in sound, no water is involved!) No experience is required, it is a form of meditation accessible to everyone. We are vibrating as is everything else, sometimes we can become out of tune/balance in either mind body or spirit and dis-ease can start to take hold. We can be brought back in tune through the healing frequencies of sound therapy enabling us to begin to feel healthy and balanced once more. Using Planetary and Symphonic Gongs, Tibetan Singing Bowls and other instrument’s rich harmonic frequencies you will be bathed in sound while you rest, feeling the stresses and strains of the day dissolving away as peace and harmony comes back to you. What happens during a Sound Bath? During a Sound Bath you are taken on a sonic meditative journey. While you lie down comfortably with your eyes closed Lisa will play the instruments that are known for their vibratory healing frequencies. You are invited to relax and settle aware of the sound taking you on a healing journey. What to expect Lisa will invite you to set your intention followed by a guided meditation with the awareness on the breath to allowing your whole being to settle in and relax. The more you can relax the more beneficial the session will be for you. Try to not to have any expectations; each person’s experience is different and unique. It’s possible to have a range of experiences from being very relaxed, energised, emotional, visions, happy, anxious, or feeling creative! All emotions are welcome and valid. Many people feel a sense of bliss and peace after a gong bath, especially in the quiet moments after the Gongs have quietened down…the Shunyata. Its important not to get up straight away and enjoy this peaceful stillness and silence, called the Shunyata, the golden silence (emptiness) How does it work? The sound of a gong helps the brain reach deep relaxation – specifically the alpha and theta brain wave states, which are the slowest brain waves in humans. We tend to reach these states during daydreaming or deep sleep, and they are known to aid relaxation, creativity, and natural healing and are associated with meditative, clear, and peaceful states of mind. If you have any serious health conditions whether physical/mental or emotional then please let me know so I can advise if this practice is suitable for you.
