What Is a Gong Bath?

A gong bath is a deeply immersive sound experience. Unlike a traditional bath, there is no water. Instead, you are bathed in sound waves. As the gongs are played, their rich layers of vibration move through the room and through your body, creating a sense of deep relaxation and renewal.

When lying down, the sound surrounds you. The vibrations reach every part of your body, helping to release tension, quiet the mind, and bring you into a meditative state. Many people describe it as a journey, where the sounds of the gongs guide them into places of rest, clarity, and even self-discovery.

The Power of the Gong

The gong is one of the oldest instruments on earth. For thousands of years, it has been used in ceremony, meditation, and healing. Its sound is not like music with a melody. Instead, it is waves of tone, rhythm, and resonance that can feel both grounding and expansive.

Gong sound can slow brainwaves, supporting a shift into theta states linked with deep meditation and creativity. The vibrations also move through the body on a physical level, easing stress and encouraging balance in the nervous system.

My Journey With Gongs

I have been working with gongs for some time and trained in Gong Mastery to deepen my practice. Over the years, I have built a very large collection of gongs, each with its own voice, tone, and character. Playing them together creates an ocean of sound that cannot be fully described in words, it has to be felt.

At Harmony, I bring this passion into every session. Each gong bath is unique, guided by intuition and by the energy of the group.

What to Expect in a Gong Bath

  • You lie down on our comfortable airbeds.

  • A blanket and pillow can help you stay warm and relaxed.

  • The session begins with gentle guidance, sometimes with breath awareness.

  • The gongs are then played for around 80 minutes.

  • The sound grows, shifts, and flows, before easing into stillness.

  • We finish with quiet time to integrate the experience.

Most people leave feeling calm, lighter, and more connected within themselves. Some report vivid dreams, new insights, or a release of emotions. Each experience is personal and different.

Why Come to a Gong Bath?

  • Deep relaxation for body and mind

  • Stress release and improved sleep

  • Space for clarity and creativity

  • Gentle support for emotional healing

  • A unique, powerful sound journey
