Gong Sound Meditation - Leafield Studio Dates

Join us for a relaxing sound meditation with gongs in our dedicated studio in Leafield, where we provide soft mats, pillows and blankets to ensure the most comfortable experience.

We also offer private 1:1 or small group sessions - please get in touch with claire@intunewellbeing.co.uk for more information.

Also known as a "gong bath", this experience simply involves lying down, getting cosy and comfortable and then closing your eyes to focus on the mysterious, yet deeply calming sounds of the gongs and other soothing sounds. 

By immersing yourself in the complex sound vibrations of the gongs your mind slows down and you're able to achieve a feeling of deep relaxation that is often hard to reach in our busy modern lives. Physically, the soundwaves from the gongs vibrate the water within our bodies which helps to activate the natural relaxation processes of our nervous system. Afterwards you should feel an overall sense of calm and focus as well as a reduction in stress levels. Often people experience improvement in their sleep.

The session lasts around 75 minutes which includes time to settle before we start and some herbal tea at the end. 

Limited spaces are available so booking is essential.

What to Bring
We provide thick comfortable mats, blankets and pillows so you don’t need to bring anything unless you want to. Our studio is small so please keep bags and other belongings to a minimum. You might want to bring a water bottle for after - but we can provide water.
