Last night, my friend took me to my first Gong Bath. I’ve never experienced anything like it before. It was just incredible and I felt all my problems, worries, aches and pains disappearing as the sound increased. Deep, deep gong sounds resounded through the room and through my body. I’ve added the video at the top of my post – it’s just under thirty minutes long, but I suggest, if you just want to have a quick listen to understand what I could hear, you could listen in for a couple of minutes from about twenty minutes through the video. This morning, I feel fantastic, relaxed and at peace. I can highly recommend going along to one of these sessions if the fancy takes you.
Chime, bong, ching, dong …
What an amazing experience
last night
my first-ever encounter
of a Gong Bath
and singing bowls
sound reverberating
through the space
into the dimly lit room
candle and incense aromas
filling the air around me
surrounding
my whole being
as I lay on a mat
on the wooden floor
feeling the vibration
moving deep within my body
calming my mind
quietening my thoughts
drifting away
as the sound grew louder
and louder still
relaxing every muscle
and sinew
floating away
panpipes softly playing
humble notes
time non-existent
beautiful spiritual bliss.
