In the words of Dr. Cornell West....
"Beethoven said that music is deeper than philosophy........because in the end, we finite creatures, we don't have a language, or even a linguistic eloquence that can begin to be fully truthful to the experiences that we have the short time we here in time and space, so therefore we need some sounds... even some noise, organized noise. We need silence between the notes and the sounds that get at the deeper truths of who we are". He goes on......beethoven.mp3

The sound-current of the Gong is organic, deep and nurturing. The “living tones” build upon each other and evolve on their own, producing a sea of sound that is both timeless and alive. We not only hear the sound through our ears but through our bodies. Affecting us at the deepest cellular levels. Within this experience, tensions are released, blockages cleared, and the mind is able to stop its chattering.
Many people experiencing a Gong Bath have reported a 'release', this can take the form of an emotional, mental or physical reaction and it is the vibrations working on the energy centers within the body (Chakra's) and re-aligning them. It is regarded as a gift and those fortunate to receive it, usually experience a deep sense of wellbeing following the session.

"During the gong experience, we are completely awake while completely asleep.... a meditative state, what I call the 4th dimensional dreambody. In this state, which is also known as the completely neutral yogic state of "Turiya," we greatly increase the re-youthing efficiency of our innate intelligence that operates 24 hours a day. After a gong tone immersion, when the personal ego returns to material consciousness, one seems better able to attain a condition of non-judgment or neutrality, the quality of total body/mind harmony. I believe the gong experience improves our spiritual "quality of life" because it imprints the deep sound immersion event with special significance. It is in this mystical mood that we become a vessel for spontaneous creative thought and meaningful insight.
