Gong Bath Workshop

ABOUT THE SESSION 

A Gong bath bridges all cultures thru a musical resonance. The sound of the gong makes you feel electricity within your soul. It brings holistic resonance and functional harmony. It’s like getting eight hours of rest in a 50-min session. It’s a deeply restful meditative state that this frequency makes us fall into and we release toxins and come out refreshed.

The performance is an over tonal chaos similar to that found in the four resonant cavities of the heart. Living tones of sound can only be felt in the heart. We are not musicians but just simple folks playing from the heart. The tone that is being played must regenerate to be alive to be more resonant. What we want today is for you to resonate fully with the whole body to the tones you will hear. Only when we resonate fully does the whole brain function and we can feel peace.

You sit or lie down comfortably with your eyes closed. The ancient sound of the gongs guides you to an inner journey and you you emerge feeling lighter in a more positive space. The sound finds its way to any body aches pains and heals and calms you down.

What is being played is not written music its music from the heart. So, I urge you to just hold a space around you and absorb the sound. It’s a mending type of acoustical phenomena.

Manavi is a student of Don Conreaux and just gonged with him and 193 players at The Olympia in Kensington this year. She plays from the heart with a focused intent for every session and intent plus frequency always create healing. The gongs hang drum and other percussion instruments play us we don’t play them so this is an intuitive from the heart concert!! The journey with sound is endless and each one resonates differently and rides a different wave. I encourage each one to ride their own wave and find their own resonance with the universe.

Besides sound I have studied Ayurveda,Yoga,Craniosacral balancing, and Acupuncture.

I ran my own dive school for 13 years in the Andaman Islands and worked with National Institute of Oceanography in Goa on Lord Krishna’s underwater city Dwarka. Currently I run an ART extension program for four year old kids where we paint large scale canvases for hospitals and other public spaces. Art and the sound of Gongs are my soul!!!
