Inner Cleansing with Sound
When we want to clean our bodies, we use soap and water.
A Gong Meditation offers a different kind of cleansing — one that works from the inside out.
Using sound and vibration, it helps to clear emotional residue and restore physiological balance. No water involved. No clothes removed.

What to Expect in a Gong Meditation
A Beneficial Sound Gong Meditation begins with a brief overview of the gong and its many benefits, followed by a short breathwork exercise to encourage energy flow and prepare the mind-body for deep relaxation.
Participants are then invited to get comfortable — ideally lying down — or in any restful position that allows full comfort.
The gongs are played for 30 to 60 minutes, creating a soundscape that cleanses the subconscious and gently awakens a transcendent state of awareness.

The Sonic Massage
During a Gong Meditation, multiple gongs and mallets are used to create a rich spectrum of beneficial vibrations and healing frequencies.
Just as a physical massage helps release tension and tightness in the body, this “sonic massage” works on an emotional level — helping to dissolve stored stress and unresolved feelings that may be holding you back.
There’s nothing you need to do.
Simply let go, relax, and allow the sound of the gongs to do the work.
The experience is effortless — and the results can be truly profound.

The gongs are played gently, with intuitive care.
Sound and intensity gradually build, then crest — and are released at the peak, allowing the vibrations to decay naturally into profound silence.
These cycles of rise and release are deeply therapeutic, echoing the natural rhythms of breath, emotion, and life itself.
Once the gongs fall silent, a few minutes of stillness follow.
This is a sacred space — a time of deep relaxation, inner expansion, and transformation. In this quiet, the body integrates the experience and the mind becomes open to receiving whatever is most needed in that moment.
We conclude with sweets and community — grounding the journey in connection and shared presence.
Thank you for giving the beautiful gift of holistic healing through your music! I have been to many Gong Meditations but I loved the gentle yet powerful nature of your work. Such beautiful sounds. The experience was truly amazing.” Laura - Seattle, WA

What are the benefits of Gong Meditation?
A Gong Meditation is a unique and highly personal experience. The gong speaks to each one of us individually, meeting us wherever we are on our life journey. During the meditation, all levels of your Being - physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual - will benefit from the deep, healing resonance of the gongs.
emotional cleansing
For most people, a Gong Meditation is a deeply relaxing and peaceful experience.
The Gongs work to have a clearing effect on emotional issues, breaking up limiting and negative thought patterns, and as a result, is an excellent therapy option for stress related issues, such as depression and anxiety.
Others go more deeply and may have profound healing experiences.
Energetic balancing
Gong Meditation is the practice of "re-tuning" the human being back to ideal frequencies via a universal physical and biological principle known as Sonic Entrainment.
The human body knows what feels harmonious and tunes into what is needed during the meditation, and via sonic entrainment brings us back into harmonic balance, the peak of physical and emotional well-being.
PHYSICAL Stimulation
The vast range of rich overtones produced by the Gong deeply bathes every cell of the body - muscles, bones, organs, nervous system, etc. - and research* has shown that the sound can progressively destabilize the structure of cancer cells, ultimately leading to their explosion.

“Science is still catching up to understanding how sound heals, but the current research is promising. A review of 400 published scientific articles on music as medicine found strong evidence that music has mental and physical health benefits in improving mood and reducing stress.” Dr. Marilynn Wei - Psychology Today
Gong Meditation has been shown to have myriad additional physical and emotional benefits.
These include: improving flexibility and coordination, increasing endorphin levels, boosting immune and glandular functioning, reducing tension and regulating stress-related hormones, and even improving digestion.
