If you have been to one of my Gong Baths previously I look forward to welcoming you back. If you haven't you will receive a warm welcome. This session is at my Gong Studio, at Chase Farm near Blyth. If you have not experienced a Gong Bath before don’t worry there is no clothes to remove, or ‘getting wet’. The term ‘bath’ relates to you being ‘bathed’ in sound waves, and is a very unique experience where it can feel different each time, and also different for everyone present.
Your Journey Starts Right Here
You are invited onto a very special and magical Sunday morning Gong Bath. It's a journey, that will invoke your inner senses while calming,soothing and balancing your mind and body. Your destination is a place where wellbeing, relaxation and healing abide, a place where altered states of consciousness, plus high vibrational healing energy await you. It has all the benefits associated with meditation, but with minimal effort on your part. In fact the only effort is using a diferrent method of breathing, where for the first five minutes a double breath in and a long deep breath out is used, Then its normal breathing and just going with the flow, you can even allow yourself to fall asleep, and unlike meditation you will still receive the benefits.
Preparation
Please try to avoid a large meal, and any alcohol prior to arriving. It is quite normal for your body temperature to drop during a Sound Bath, and warm loose fitting clothes and socks are recommended, especially on cold days. Cushions and blankets to keep you warm and toasty during the session are available, as are the Yoga mats and eye masks. The only thing for you to bring is a smile and an open heart.
Where The Beat Goes Gong
Sound therapy is a very special and unique experience, where attendees traditionally lay down on a yoga mat with their heads facing the Gong, or in a warm cosy sleeping bag. For those who prefer to sit upright rather than being horizontal Micheal's relaxing reclined chair is a nice alternative. The sound and vibrations will flow through and saturate your body energetically, emotionally, mentally and physically. Sound therapy is a very powerful tool, allowing us to unplug ourselves from the hectic grid, and activate, and modify our states of consciousness in a positive way, to readjust the bodies natural rhythms, release tension and energy blockages, and bring inner calm and stillness, where deep healing can then occur.
Your Healing Journey Begins Here
Entry available from 10.50 for a 11 am start. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the experience.
Once you are comfortable and settled Micheal will give a brief introduction and set the intention, which you can repeat, or you can choose your own.
He will then guide you with Deep belly breathing which uses two breaths in and a long deep breath out, as Micheal plays the Koshi chimes. This technique will remove more C02 (Carbon Dioxide) from your body than any other breathing method, together with any any stale stagnant energy that has been trapped in your body. This method is also more effective in lowering stress, anxiety and tension as well as your blood pressure and providing more relaxation for your body.
With the eyes closed, and coupled to the deep breathing your brain waves will start to slow down, going from Beta, into Alpha, which has a positive effect on the vagus nerve causing your parasympathetic nervous system to relax the bodies main organs.
The crystals you will be holding have been Reikied so you will receive both Crystal and Reiki healing energy for as long as you hold them.
For the next part Micheal will use a short guided meditation from his Qigong, called the Healing or Inner smile. This simple yet powerful exercise directs your own healing energy into your lungs and heart chakra. Micheal has handouts for you to take away and use this on yourself for all areas of your body, and together with the deep belly breathing will help maintain your wellbeing, as well as your Vibration.
As the Gong begins your brainwaves will slow further taking you beyond Alpha into Theta and for many, into Delta. Now to make your journey more "mindful" you can either focus on the healing energy from the Gong flowing through your body, or you can restart your deep belly breathing, or continue with the inner smile on other organs and parts of your body such as painful muscles, joints etc. Or as many people do, just allow your mind to wander to some nice happy, positive places, and you can even allow yourself to fall asleep if you want, and as the vibrations from the Gong enter through every part of your body, as well as your ears you will still receive all the benefits if you do fall asleep. Many people cycle through each of these.
Your bodies vibrational rate will begin to rise, to match the higher vibrations from the Sound, Crystals, and Reiki. As this happens any harmful negative energy in your body will begin to collapse, and fall away and this will initiate your body to begin healing itself Your levels of calm and relaxation will increase, plus the soothing of your nervous system, strengthening your immune and energy systems and releasing a host of hormones to make you feel good.
During the Gong Bath you will be transported on a journey where you may feel the connection with your higher self and the universe. These connections produce profound levels of peace and calmness as well as unconditional absolute love
Time itself can become strangely distorted during a Sound bath, which can make time feel longer or even shorter for some people. But eventually the session does come to an end, as the sound of the Gong gently fade away before falling silent. This is not an empty silence however, it is a sacred silence created by the Gong sounds fading away, full of intense profound healing power, many people find this part of the session the most powerful.
Congratulations you have now "Been Gonged". Micheal will allow you several minutes to soak up the fading energy, as you gently return to earth. Bottled or Filtered water is available. Micheal will encourage you to share your experience should you wish to do so and answer any questions you may have.
Included with the cost of your ticket, and starting from the following evening Micheal will send you a distant Reiki healing session each evening right up to the following Sunday.

Is It Safe For Me?
Crystal, Reiki and Sound healing combined together are generally considered safe for most people, regardless of age or fitness level. However as a precaution they may not be recommended during pregnancy, or those diagnosed with epilepsy, seizures, or some mental health conditions, especially when taking prescribed psychotropic drugs.
This also applies to anyone who has a pacemaker or other electrical or mechanical device fitted. For those who wear a hearing it is recommended that these are turned down to avoid any discomfort. For those with any other medical condition and feel concerned please speak to your G.P, Consultant or medical practice before booking your place.
Gongs are one of the oldest and most powerful therapeutic and transformational instruments in this world.
Above, Gongs produce a Huge Plasma Field that engulfs everyone in the Gong Space
The late theoretical physicist "David Bohm" discovered that when a Gong is played, the metal becomes “excited”, and the electrons become highly charged electromagnetically, forming a huge plasma field to be created off the Gong and both the player and listener becomes part of that field. When the vibrational activity of the Gong ends, the electrons ‘go back’ to their original atoms, and once the Gong comes to rest the energy field collapses. When the Gong is revved up again the Plasma field expands and intensifies. Thus from a scientific point the participants of the event are being electromagnetically charged in a positive, benevolent and holistic fashion. Many walk away with a natural buzz that in some case has lasted for a week. Metal is the only material known where the electrons leave their atoms and join other atoms
The Gongs have a tremendous potential for healing and rejuvenation, and are played with a variety of mallets, and styles of play to overly avoid a monotonous rhythm. Each Gong is capable of producing not only beautiful tones, but complex rich overtones. These haunting magical sounds from the gong can quickly entrain our brainwaves to slow down from the normal waking "Beta state" into the lower "Alpha" and "Theta" states and for many the journey will take them even deeper into the "Delta". state.
Thanks For Looking In. I Hope To See You Soon Micheal Fothergill BA Gong & Reiki Master
