Gong meditation

The sound of gong passes through the mind and quickly creates a meditative state and deep relaxation. Gong has been used throughout history as a ceremonial and healing tool. Sources describe its use as early as 4,000 years before N.L. up to 16,000 before N.L.
Gongs have become more popular in the current pre-technological age, as stress levels have increased significantly in both adults and children. Stress in any form (physical, mental or emotional) activates the sympathetic nervous system and triggers the release of hormones such as adrenaline (a response to “fight or flight”) and cortisol, which directly affects blood pressure, glucose, immune function and inflammation.

Physical work allows the body and muscles to process these hormones, but in most cases people spend a significant part of the day sitting. When the nervous system is chronically activated by stress, an excess of circulating hormones creates dysfunctions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, depression, insomnia, indigestion, autoimmune diseases, and other diseases caused by chronic inflammation.

Gong vibrations are a powerful method for reducing stress. We use gongs to support the meditative state. Gong creates an ocean of sound that is a very relaxing state. This condition activates the parasympathetic nervous system to balance the over-strengthened, over-loaded sympathetic nervous system.

Water has often been used as an analogy for the moisturizing effect of gong vibrations, in part because our bodies are about 60 percent water and water is used to conduct sound waves.

Like the circles formed by a stone thrown on a frozen lake, the sound of the gong is gently reflected over and around the whole body to calm, relax and soothe.
Usually, the listener’s heart rate slows down, the blood pressure drops, and the breath adjusts to its natural rhythm.

Gong evokes a holistic resonance in the body and a spontaneous meditative state in the mind, leading to a sense of expanded consciousness and wholeness. The principles of sound, vibration and energy flow as healing modalities have been taught in both the East and the West. Every tradition of wisdom over the ages has used the principles of vibration to heal and increase consciousness. Spiritual leaders have recognized the strong effects of vibration on the nervous system. Whether it was a human voice chanting specific words (mantras) or instruments creating resonant sounds.

This format of Gong Meditation is new and is evolving constantly, as there are many new elements we must deal with (Audio recording, Playback Technology & Internet Connectivity). We have found that the Physical Sessions are ideal, as one is immersed with sound and energies of the Gongs, however our experience shows that Online sessions work very well and some participants prefer this format as it is from the privacy of their home.

How it works:
Schedule your session on our website and join in through your device. We recommend to use headsets and to lay down in a comfortable position with no external disturbance for the 1 hour session. This is your time and we suggest you arrange so that you are not disturbed. NOTE: Please shut your Mobile Phone so you are not disturbed, this is an AUDIO ONLY session so no screen interaction is encouraged.

This is a format that allows for deep Relaxation, Recovery (Physical/Emotional/Mental) as well as other possible benefits of self healing and internal exploration.

How it works:
Please visit our calendar to review the schedule of sessions. We have sessions in several cities across Slovakia and in parts of Czech currently. We recommend to participate in sessions monthly, so that your system is constantly re-generated. Please bring a Pillow, your blanket and some personal objects. These will help you to relax and go deeper into the journey.

Please visit our calendar to review the schedule of sessions. The Gong Puja is a process of deep Meditation, Relaxation and Rejuvenation originated by Grand Gong Master, Don Conreaux. The experience lasts around 8 hours (5 natural sleep cycles of 90 min.) where participants are immersed in the sound waves of the gongs and other sacred instruments. Vibrations wash over the entire body creating space and opportunity to release blockages and tension on the physical level. The process also helps resolve deeper emotional blockages at the sub-conscious level. This process induces a deep state of relaxation with people waking up the next morning feeling re-energized.

How it works:
Please bring your Pillows, Warm Quilt, Padding and other personal articles to make sure you are comfortable for the night. We prefer not to have airbeds, as these tend to cause noise. Please wear loose comfortable clothing, pajamas are welcome.
