As the pace of life accelerates, and we juggle the demands of work, family, and social obligations, finding time for relaxation and rejuvenation is increasingly important. One innovative solution is Gong Bath Meditation, an immersive experience offered by London Gong that has been helping to de-stress London for over 9 years.

Gong Bath Meditation is a unique form of sound therapy that harnesses the power of gongs to create a therapeutic and deeply relaxing atmosphere. During a session, participants lie down and let the sounds of the gong wash over them, hence the term ‘gong bath’. The purpose is to bring about healing and relaxation. The sounds of the gong stimulate the alpha and theta brainwaves associated with deep meditative and peaceful states, and also stimulate the delta waves, which are associated with deep sleep and healing.

London Gong offers regular Gong Bath Meditation sessions that are open to the public. The next public session is scheduled for Saturday 4th November at London Angel, starting at 6.45pm and our London public sessions are usually on the first and third Saturday each month. Participants are advised to bring a blanket and a cushion for comfort, but no other special equipment or clothing is necessary. All are welcome, no previous experience is required.

In addition to public sessions, London Gong also offers private group sessions and retreats. These can be tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the group, offering a more personalised experience. Whether you’re looking for a unique team-building activity, a relaxing retreat, or a special celebration, Gong Bath Meditation could be the perfect solution.

I now live the best life I can spending my time between London and Glastonbury (my spiritual home) in Somerset. I moved to Glastonbury in Somerset last year in 2022, a town that I have been visiting for 25+ years but I had no intentions of moving here!! yet here I am!! A story for another time.

I am now based in both London and Glastonbury as I visit London frequently to visit family and run my public and corporate gong baths and laughter yoga events. I love to spend time with my mum who will be 90 this year! a mum who shares many of my spiritual interests. In September this year, my mum and I will be attending a week long shamanic course at the Arthur Findlay College. If you read my bio, you will see I have trained in advanced shamanic pathways at Caer Corhrain Shamanic centre in Kent.

I am personally very drawn to the shamanic path however I love the gong as it is open to all, a non denominational practice which almost everyone can benefit from regardless of their beliefs. The therapeutic instruments help you to relax deeply and therefore feel less stressed, almost like a reset for mind, body and soul. You can read more about What is a Gong Bath ? by clicking on the link. I would suggest you have a read up on my reviews too.

I have been blessed to arrive here in Glastonbury at a time in my life where I have been able to literally press the pause button and enjoy feeling my way in to my new life, in to the land in a new town without the need to worry too much about working apart from maintaining my existing gong baths in London Angel which have been mostly filling up effortlessly. I thank the universe for aiding me with this transition.

This little town is very much waking up from the winter with more people visiting. I feel it is time to look for a venue so that I can offer my work here in my new town. It has been a wonderful to experience the turning of the wheel, the changing of the seasons. I arrived just in time for Autumn equinox, felt the wind-down to the winter, and the waking up to the Spring. We are very much in tune here with the seasons which are celebrated and there is a deep appreciation for the land from wassailing in the apple orchards to the various celtic festivals which align with the changing seasons.

I am now available for private retreats in Glastonbury so feel free to be in contact to book me for any retreats you are holding in Glastonbury.

I am still personally facilitating sessions in London, usually on the 1st and 3rd Saturday each month and I also work with other very highly experienced gong masters and facilitators for private and corporate wellbeing events when I am in Glastonbury.

I may write more about my journey that had me land in Glastonbury also known as the Isle of Avalon. A town steeped in myth, magic and legends.

Here this is a very important part of my own journey allowing me to grow both spiritually and creatively as I find myself attending many events and exploring new creative pursuits. Living in nature and away from the hustle and bustle of the city is deeply nurturing for me in every way possible and definitely what my soul has been yearning for.

Update… And now as I pick up where I left off on this yet to be published post, We are mid June, it feels like Summer here in Glastonbury and I am very excited to soon be offering public gong baths and sound journeys in Glastonbury. I will be at the beautiful Avalon room upstairs in The Courtyard on the High Street next door to the beautiful goddess temple. You can catch me there on Thursday evenings with a choice of an early or late evening gong bath. I will also be offering a laughter yoga session for the early slot on the last Thursday in the month. For full info and bookings please visit https://bookwhen.com/londongong

If you are visiting Glastonbury, I also organise occasional social walks in the town which usually finish off with a refreshment stop in the town. More info at https://www.meetup.com/glastonbury/

See you soon either in London Angel on a Saturday or Glastonbury on a Thursday.

I am delighted to announce my new Shamanic Drum and Gong bath. The first one will be on Saturday 26th March 2022 in London Camden Town. Book here

Some years ago I completed advanced shamanic pathways training which was an incredible journey and training with my teachers at Caer Corhrain. The training was set over a 6 month period with 5 full weekend sessions at the Shamanic Centre in Kent. This was a deep learning experience and at times even painful as the layers were stripped like the pealing of an onion. We learnt so much from crafting our own medicine tools including one of the rattles I often have at my sound baths. Click through to check it out, perhaps you feel the calling too!

I have felt a deep calling from both the Drum and Gong. For years I have worked more with the gong and not really answered the call of the drum although I am noticing how I am gradually being drawn to pick her up more and more during my gong baths. I used to start with a little heartbeat with my drum and now I find myself tempted to keep hold of her for much longer and more recently even some more in the middle and even towards the end of the gong and sound meditation. No more holding back, she is coming out to play, to journey, to aid healing and more.

I’m ready , are you Join me on Saturday 26th March in Camden town, home of London Gong. More dates and times will follow. I will also have guest drummers joining me. First shamanic inspired Drum and Gong bath Saturday 26th March 6.30pm to 7.45pm. book now at https://bookwhen.com/londongong/e/ev-sz2q-20220326183000 There will be more shamanic inspired events in the following months.

I recently created a gong meditation recording with the specific aim to help people to fall asleep. This happened purely by chance as I recorded it initially to help my elderly mum fall asleep despite her aches and pains. It worked a treat!! Both my elderly parents, 88 and 97 years young have been enjoying drifting off to sleep or even just relaxing when they need to with my recording.

If you have problems falling asleep or perhaps you have a very busy mind then this might be exactly what you need. It helps if you like gong sounds. In this recording I am playing my sound creation earth gong with one mallet and several friction mallets which create the space whale like sounds.

It’s called gong to sleep and you can purchase a copy via my gong calendar at https://www.londongong.co.uk/gong-bath-schedule-london/

I will be recording more tracks in the coming weeks to help with deep sleep and relaxation. These will also be available direct from me or via my booking page.

As a reminder gong is back on next week January 2022. Start your new year with a gong bath. An ideal time to set your intentions for 2022. Hope to see you soon.

Gong love and blessings and wishing all my friends and clients a happy, healthy, peaceful 2022 filled with joy.

Just received my bear love flumies in the post yesterday. I tested them out on facebook live!! Why not! 🙂

Beautiful spacey sounds. I love working with flumies because you can bring out so many more sounds and tones from the gong. Great bit of advice from Julian gong was to play the back of the gong to avoid marking the gong surface. Here in this example where I am trying out the flumies, I am playing a 26″ Paiste sound creation earth gong. This gong has an uneven surface so probably not the ideal gong for playing flumies but still beautiful spacey sounds. These are definitely going to be my go to flumies, love them. Thanks Bear, amazing, love them.
