What is a Gong Bath?
This is similar in ways to sitting or lying on a beach and hearing the waves washing up on the shoreline, but instead you are surrounded by waves of sound coming from gongs and other sound healing instruments being played.
Chinese or moon gongs in particular have a very wide range of sounds, frequencies and harmonics which at times can be played in such a way as to emulate sounds like thunder or like heavy waves crashing against the rocks or can also create beautiful tender light sounds as soft as the wind or like very light waves.
Because of the infinite variety of sound that a gong is capable of producing it has become a very popular instrument with a sound that can surround you and hence the name ‘gong’ bath.

How Can a Singing Bowl Heal You?
The sound created by tapping or hitting a Tibetan singing bowl causes vibrations. These sound vibrations fill the room encompassing both the healer playing the bowl and the client.
There is a law in science called ‘entrainment’ whereby an object that is vibrating (the bowl) has an effect on another object (your body). There is also the effect that empathy plays when this is directed by the healer / therapist / practitioner and is magnified by the sound vibrations of the musical instrument being used for sound healing.
