This is all about sound and its effects on the human body & energy systems. The Gong’s vibrations can help balance and cleanse the energy in your body. They work at a cellular level and help with stress, fatigue, depression, anger, and blocked energy. The vibrations can release blockages at the Chakras and other energy points.
Michael uses a variety of Gongs, Singing Bowls, and Bells to create a therapeutic wave of sound.
I felt that experience processing through me for days….truly magic.
I don’t believe in this kind of stuff, but I came with a friend anyway. I was laying on my mat resisting, and when you hit the big Gong, I just opened up!
People are encouraged to sit or lie on a Yoga mat or blanket, while allowing the healing vibrations to wash over them.
