About the Gongs
A magical journey for Body, Mind and Soul
In holistic healing and personal transformation, gongs and sound healing are powerful tools promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. With their rich history and profound impact on the mind, body, and soul, these practices offer a unique pathway to inner peace, balance, and self-discovery.
The History and Impact of Gongs
Gongs have been used for centuries in various cultures and traditions, from ancient rituals to meditation practices. These majestic instruments produce a wide range of frequencies and overtones, creating a complex, multi-layered sound experience. When struck or played, gongs emit powerful vibrations that penetrate deep into the body, inducing a state of deep relaxation and inner harmony.
Understanding Sound Healing
Sound healing harnesses the therapeutic properties of sound to promote healing and balance on all levels of being. Recognizing that everything in the universe, including our bodies, consists of vibrating energy, sound healing restores balance, releases blockages, and promotes a sense of wholeness and well-being through specific frequencies and sound patterns.
The Experience of Gong Sound Healing
Gong sound healing immerses the listener in a sea of vibrations. As the gong is played, its resonant tones wash over the body, creating a sense of spaciousness and expansiveness. The mind quiets, and the body shifts into deep relaxation. In this meditative state, stress and tension melt away, allowing a deeper connection to the inner self.
Benefits of Gong Sound Healing
Physical Benefits: Reduces pain, improves circulation, and stimulates the immune system.
Emotional Benefits: Releases stored traumas, reduces anxiety and depression, and promotes inner peace and emotional balance.
Spiritual Benefits: Facilitates connection to higher states of consciousness, intuition, and self-awareness.
Establishing a Regular Practice
Gongs and sound healing offer a powerful path to deep relaxation, emotional release, and spiritual growth. Immersing yourself in therapeutic vibrations allows you to access inner stillness, self-discovery, and profound healing. This practice not only brings balance and harmony to your being but also unlocks a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
The Power of Planet Gongs
The mind has no power over a well played gong
Planet Gongs are tuned based on the orbital properties of celestial bodies according to Hans Cousto’s calculations. They resonate in harmony with the cycles of these bodies, conveying the “music of the spheres” and creating a mysterious, unfathomable atmosphere.

"The Gong is the first and last instrument for the human mind, there is only one thing that can supersede and command the human mind, the sound of the Gong. It is the first sound in the universe, the sound that created this universe. It’s the basic creative sound. To the mind, the sound of the gong is like a mother and father that gave it birth. The mind has no power to resist a gong that is well played."
— Yogi Bhajan
