“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, Master of Kundalini Yoga

​

​

The Gong is an ancient and sacred instrument of healing, rejuvenation and transformation.

​

The Gong produces a multitude of rich sound waves, which stimulates our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body by influencing our internal bodily waters. 

​

Our bodies are made up of around 80% water and sound travels far more effectively in water than it does in the air. Thus making our bodies the perfect instrument for sound to travel. 

​

On a physical level, the sounds emitted from the gong releases tension and blocks in the body, it stimulates a higher functioning of our nervous system, it increases prana, our vital life force and improves circulation.

​

I have a mystical love for the Sacred Gong.

​

In my journeys I am taken to inter-dimensional spaces, where I transcend time and space. For a period of time I escape the monkey mind into complete and utter stillness. My body knows the gong, like a lifelong lover, we have met in many previous incarnations, as my entire body is always taken to a deep relaxed state. 

​

I have been fortunate enough to play various types and sizes of gongs at the Pyramids of Chi in Bali. During my time there I learnt many tips and tricks by various Gong Masters on how to play the gong. I also took part in various trainings on perfecting the art of playing the gong. 

​
