The Gong
A true instrument of transformation used in many yogic and meditative practices, the Gong is a great master of tone and overtone creation, weaving a space of holistic resonance to allow the mind to calm, induce a meditate and relaxing state and bring a deep feeling of serenity and neutrality, a complete rebalancing of the physical and energy bodies.
L’histoire du gong est longue et il a été utilisé en cérémonie depuis au moins 2100 années mais il y a des indications que l’histoire du gong est beaucoup plus longue. Ses origines se trouvent quelque part entre Tibet et Myanmar et ensuite il s’est développé en Indonésie, Thaïlande et Inde pour éventuellement être introduit dans des orchestres symphoniques européennes vers 1791. Dans les années 60 Le gong a été introduit dans la pratique du Kundalini yoga.
A night of Ceremony
According to the teachings of Don Conreaux, one of the world’s leading authorities on Gong teaching and practice, the ideal length of a normal Gong bath is 45 minutes. However, he developed the Gong Puja or Gong Night to weave together 10 gong baths or 450 minutes of uninterrupted sound to create a deep space of healing, clarity and lightness
Practical details
This practice is open to everyone from 16 years of age – no previous knowledge/initiation is required
You arrive around 9pm with your equipment to sleep comfortably and we open the space with gentle movement and chanting for those who want it, after an opening ceremony, the Gongs begin to play at 11pm and they don’t stop until 6:30am.
After a moment of integration in the silence we offer an Ayurvedic breakfast to prepare for your day and we finish around 7:30 am
The Gongs are played at a relatively low level to allow people to sleep, it is in fact a state of “waking sleep” and one can at any time meditate around the 15 gongs of different frequencies (planetary, symphonic, chao, Thai) that will be played. Sitting meditation areas will be available around the gongs for those who wish to experience the instruments up close.
