Join me for a weekly Gong Meditation at The Well Garden in Hackney Downs.

What to expect in Gong Bath?
You simply submerge in the sounds, in the ocean of sounds. All you do is lye comfortably on a mat, close your eyes and slow your breath. Just like during the relaxation after our Yoga class. You prepare yourself to become the receiver of sound. In the place of stillness you become more open and aware of each sound that comes in. Then I create the soundtrack… Your mind, body and soul is bathed with the tones of the Gongs and other instruments. The aim is to go into a deep state of relaxation, taking you to a space of neutrality, a space of bliss where the body’s natural healing process begins… It’s all about opening the passage of energy flow throughout the body to make you healthy and happy.
When you awaken, you are ready to come back to the outer world, revived, calm and full of energy.

What’s behind this technology of sound vibrations?
Sound has been used in various cultures for thousands of years to move us from a place of imbalance to a place of balance. The sound vibrations, based on scientific research help return your body to a natural state of harmony. Sound helps to facilitate shifts in our brainwave state. Our fluctuating brainwaves are synchronised by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency it becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur). We experience this brainwave balancing to clear the mind, release stress from the nervous system and allow us to feel a deeper inner sense of peace, balance and vitality.

Don’t predict anything that can happen in the gong bath, please bring an open mind with no expectations. This is an adventure. Just relax and drift off where the sound takes you 🙂

Event Details

I’m offering you the opportunity to start or deepen your meditation practice. I know it can be difficult to do it on your own but hopefully with this foundational meditation course we can approach meditation in a clear and practical way. We will cover the key areas which form the basis of a meditation practice.

We will explore them over the 4 weeks, as well as begin or deepen our ‘at home’ meditation practice. Each session includes meditation practice and related teachings to the practice. I will be sharing my experiences with you and you’ll have an opportunity to share yours if you wish in a safe and supportive environment. You will be encouraged to practice meditation between sessions so each next week you come to the course prepared and with more of your own experience that you may want to discuss if you wish.

We’ll be meeting on Saturday 9am – 9.45am (just before morning yoga class) on: 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd of November.

Venue: The Boathouse in Barking, 62-76 Abbey Rd, Barking IG11 7BT (parking available)
