Guildford, Gong Bath: De-stress and Relax

October 7, 2017 @ 12:00 - 13:00

We are delighted to launch our Gong Bath events in a beautiful new location. The Gong Bath will take place in a stunning modern pavilion with large glass windows and amazing views of the Surrey countryside, birds and animals. It feels like you are outside even though you are indoors!

Our sound experience is designed to help release stress built up over a busy week. We have received some wonderful feedback about our events, many of our members are now attending on a weekly basis. 

Sound therapy is a unique type of experience.  We all have busy lives, rushing from here to there, generally feeling there is never enough time to do everything. The intention behind our sessions is to give you a welcome break from feeling this way. Our sound experience is designed to give you a truly deep sense of relaxation. We hope you will feel as we do, and experience a beautiful tranquil feeling. Guests at our events report feeling much calmer after the sound experience. 

During our sound experience sessions, we use different instruments, such as rattles, crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, drums, gongs and others. We use a variety to help maximize the effects and also make the events more interesting and exciting for you! We aim to build a safe, comfortable yet magical atmosphere, and hope to offer you a friendly and inspirational place to relax or simply enjoy the power and beauty of sound!

Each session is unique, variety adds another dimension, and as any musicians will know, playing instruments intuitively can often produce surprising and rewarding results. 

Please find below the general outline for each event.

We will start with 5min drumming and rattling, which is believed to help relieve stress and get deeper into relaxation. We will then follow with a short 5 minute guided meditation, which will be accompanied by a crystal bowl. Please, be aware that doors will be locked at this point. We will then transition into the Earth Gong, which creates a wonderfully uplifting feeling.

The session ends with questions and comments; you can also speak with Gary and Olga about the instruments used and feel the sound vibrations directly. The gong and drum create very low-frequency sound waves, something the bodies sense of touch can feel, these are also the sound waves that offer profound relaxation and can work in a similar way to massage on the body.

Our sound sessions dedicated to relaxation and de-stress – for deeper relaxation, we recommend combining our yoga classes with follow-up gong baths. You can find more information about our yoga classes in our Meetup group The Alchemy of Sound, or on our website holistichealingtherapy.co.uk.
