When I first started out with gongs, and I was at my training, I was put in a different room from everyone else. I could hear everyone else in the other room playing and I wasn’t sure at first why I had been separated from the rest of the group, but I think my gong teacher knew exactly what he was doing.
He knew I needed to experience the gongs alone, to truly feel and understand the power of their resonance.
I stood in front of a 42inch universe gong (one which I now own in my collection here at mystic tree) and I just stood in front of it, for a good 5 minutes before I made any contact with it.
When I was ready I struck the gong, and I know it sounds corny, but I genuinely had never experienced anything like it in my life, I will never ever forget that moment.
I was absolutely blown away, so speechless that I was reduced to tears. I just cried.
Something happened in that very moment that I still to this day can’t really explain or comprehend, but right there and then I knew the intense power of these beautiful, beautiful instruments.
What started as an interest, or a hobby, rapidly in that moment turned into something much deeper.
A calling, and I knew from that moment on I was going to dedicate the rest of my life to energy healing.
I enjoy hosting group gong baths, because I love the sense of community it brings and the shared experiences people can have, but since the start of this journey I have always been the most passionate about 1-1 or couples gong baths, here at the healing sanctuary in Brislington, Bristol.
A sanctuary I built out of necessity, the place I always needed when I was at my lowest points in my life.
The room is now filled with many gongs, that completely surround you from top to toe, all of which serve a different purpose, and there really is nothing quite like having them all played just for you.
These instruments changed my life, for the better and I absolutely know they can help you, because I have experienced it first hand for myself.
