Introducing the practice of Sound Healing with the Gong. Looking at individual (one to one) healing session, public Gong Bath and Sacred Tone Improvisation public performances. This workshop suitable for all levels of experience.
The ancient mystics believed that through the sound of the Gong people share universal life force. Gong Therapy is a method of bringing back balance and peace in the midst of the storm of life. A Gong Bath is a one hour concert with the sound of the Gong. The Individual session goes to the personal need of each participant.
Sacred Tone Improvisation is one of the oldest art forms. A way of pure intuition to connect us with ourselves, our environment and our Soul. Over the last few centuries it has been set to one side by modern musical systems, repeating and following the rules of the a system which destroys our uniqueness. Improvisation is the way to intuition and a mature relationship with other human beings and our surroundings. Without loosing your individuality, you will be part of the Whole In finding yourself through improvisation, you will find yourself able to improvise in life with full expression…
True sound comes from the Heart, from within, from the soul. Merge with this sound and follow it!!!
This workshop also introduces Muscle Emotion Meridian Gong Yoga, a simple, accessible system and can be adjusted to the physical and emotional needs of each individual. Anyone can practice it, independent of age. It is a physical practice based on the principles of Chiropractor muscle testing study, Traditional Chinese Medicine Meridians, Chi flow, Yoga and resistance work, to find the intricate relationship between our physical and emotional body.
In the MEM Gong Yoga of Holistic Resonance, the terms Enlightenment, Samadhi, Liberation and Bliss are all about the Release of Creative Power within ourselves. Freedom of creativity is Gong Consciousness. It is also an indicator of physical-emotional-mental-spiritual fullness of resonance.
