If you have never heard of a gong bath, it is time. No
clothes are removed, no water is entered but relaxation is the end result!
It is said to be a ‘sound meditation experience’. I am a
very restless person so even yoga is tough for me to relax, I am usually making
a to do list or grocery list. At the gong bath the sounds so encompassed me
that no lists were popping up in my mind!
You lie on the floor in a dark room. Blankets and pillows
are either provided or you bring your own which is what we did. The sounds of
the gong have many tones. The sounds get louder and louder so that the waves of
the sound wash over you as you repose.
Some people experience colors behind their closed eyes, a
feeling of lightness from their bodies or a feeling of total peace and
rejuvenation. I felt relaxed! Gong baths
are available monthly in some areas, monthly meditation circle gong baths.
I would certainly do it again.
Have you ever tried a gong bath or another alternative
relaxation/meditative group?

Hmmmm...
Recently they started using some type of accordion in my yoga class -- the sound really centers me.
Must be something to it -
That's unique, accordion! I would like that more than some of the 'New Wave' music!
