SUMMARY:Gong Bath
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to immerse yourself in a blissful Gong Bath\, where we celebrate and prioritize your health in a serene and relaxing environment.\n\n\nGong Bath \nJoin us for a blissful and rejuvenating Gong Bath at Failsworth Library. This unique event is specially designed to promote overall health and well-being. Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of the gong\, as its vibrations wash away stress and tension. Whether you’re looking to relax\, find inner peace\, or simply indulge in some self-care\, this Gong Bath is the perfect opportunity. Don’t miss out on this incredible experience! \nA mat\, blanket and pillow will be provided but feel free to bring along your own for extra comfort. \nThis session will be facilitated by gong practitioner/sound healer\, Martyn Cawthorne. To see a Gong Bath in action or to find out what you can expect from this session visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUYc6l884A0 \n‘A gong bath is a timeless moment for you. It begins when you take a comfortable position (usually laying on a mat and pillow\, and under a blanket) in the gong space and relax. \nWhen the gongs are played you will likely find yourself drawn into the hypnotic sounds while layer upon layer of vibrations touch your body\, mind and heart. \nFollowing the waves of sound with a naturally arising\, loving awareness\, the mind tends to soften\, releasing its grip and relinquishing its desire to control. As the boundaries of the mind dissolve\, one may enter a flowing\, timeless state in which the intuitive capacity can be awakened\, and transformation can be a natural occurrence. Witnessing the unfolding of our self from within a womb-like sensation of love and security\, we may even pass through cathartic experiences as our deepest self watches on\, unblemished\, beyond all experience. \nWhen the last sounds have passed\, and a few moments of silence have been allowed\, you will be gently called back\, at which time we’ll have a nice cup of jasmine tea to help with grounding before you head home.’
