Description
Gong & Sound Bath
Sacred sound meditation for full relaxation & wellbeing.
A Gong & Sound Bath is a powerful yet relaxing experience that combines the meditative qualities of gongs and other instruments through the healing properties of sound vibration.
All you need to do is lay down, listen and receive and let the sonic frequencies wash through you, bringing you deep relaxation and a sense of energy to your body, mind and soul.
The reverberations of the gongs can have positive effects on the nervous system or relaxes sore muscles in your body. Gong baths may also help to stimulate circulation & balance the body’s energy flow, releasing tension from head to toe. It can also be deeply grounding, clear blockages – all which promote physical and emotional wellbeing.
Most of us experience consciously or unconsciously a lot of stress in our daily lives, but it’s not always obvious how to change this state. Even if we know it would be good, it can be difficult to meditate and do nothing. Therefore the complex sounds of a gong will transcend the brainwaves into an altered state of consciousness which is a great way to reduce stress in a therapeutic beneficial dream / trance like state.
Sounds are unique – some compare them with the vision of floating in space, others to diving into the sea – come without expectations and experience for yourself.
The universe is within.

About Britta :
I was blown away and fascinated the first time I experienced a gong bath. From that very first moment I was in total awe with these handcrafted instruments. I now can’t imagine life without a gong.
While playing the gongs I channel energy and let that guide me. Every session is unique and can never be repeated, it is what it is in that moment. To me that is like nature, like watching a river or waves in the sea, they come and go, flow by; a scent of a pine tree in the woods, the experience in that one moment, that is, but cannot be grasped.
I see myself like a conduit for the sound to come into being. So I am not a healer, but the receiving of the created sound waves and vibrations might stimulate one’s body to activate its own self-healing abilities and positive energy. And all that is what I enjoy to share with others. I draw inspiration from my shamanic practice & journeying, as well from my own experiences of working in stressful work environment / industry and from her own healing journey through which I see & realised that sometimes we just need a safe space where we can stop the thinking & talking and just be…
