What is Sound Healing?
Learn more about the healing sound of the gong
Considered among the oldest transformational and therapeutic instruments, gongs have been used for ritual, ceremony, prayer and meditation since the Bronze Age.
The sound of the gong impacts the body and its meridians. It cuts through the thoughts that cause blocked feelings and other physical ailments and brings a profound shift in the body, mind and spirit enabling deep healing.
Aside from its revitalizing effect over the immune and nervous system, gongs used for sound healing can serve as excellent therapy for all stress-related issues, depression, fatigue, feelings of separation, loneliness, anger, fear and hostility, and many other conditions caused by a lack of balance and harmony in the body and mind.
One of the pioneers in the use of the gong for healing and personal transformation, the gong Grand Master Don Conreaux said the gong’s engulfing sound can help you tune in to your body’s intuition and bring you back to optimum health and balance
The gong, he explains “is a supportive tool for the manifestation of our harmonious physical, mental, and emotional being. The OM tone of a gong creates total silence within. The sustained tone of a gong creates timelessness. The building of its tone combinations create a sense of levitation or lightness. It is the unique quality of a gong’s resonance that integrates diverse elements into a power of synergy, or functional harmony. We also call the tone produced by the gong a feeling tone, because we feel it in our body, as well as hear it.”
Yogi Bhajan, founder of Kundalini Yoga in the United States said that it would help repair the ravages of drugs in the nervous system. “It’s a very easy way to have a normal happy life,” he says, “because the neurons of the brain have no defense to patronize, to synchronize its own message terminology when the sound of the gong hits the ear. .. so, what happens is that when you let yourself go [through] of the wave of the gong, the neurons pattern in the brain has to reassemble itself and its strength. That’s where you get the strength.”
