Sound Journeys

Lie in savasana while you embark on a cleansing journey on the wings of pure and perfect sound. This is not a performance, but a sacred sound experience created by the transformative powers of the tonal vibrations of gongs, crystal alchemy singing bowls, and other high resonance instruments. 

Our Sound Journeys begin with the playing of five, six, or seven hand-hammered gongs. Gongs recreate the sound which resonates through the universe, that creative force called OM, which brought into being all life, the “Word” referred to by John 1:1 in the New Testament. Om is the sound of total resonance, the bridge between the finite and the infinite. Om is the sound of the universe, and the sound of the soul. Om is the sound produced by the resonating gong. Therefore, gongs represent one of the highest and spiritual forms of music.

When a gong is played, it creates multiple tones and overtones, all vibrating at the same time, resulting in a perfect source of holistic resonance. The tones are not just heard with the ears but also felt within the body, allowing listeners to enter into this sacred sound space created by the gong-field. Within this field, the power of rejuvenation, inner peace, and healing can take place. There is a mixing of the senses of color and sound that occurs when blissful feelings are produced when the mind and heart are united in the vibrations of the resonant tones. 

The experience of being wrapped in the sound produced by the gong, can produce a sensation of disappearing into the sound, or the feeling of levitation. This is partly an effect of the gong removing ego consciousness. The left brain may try to remain in control, but letting go during the gong experience will allow you to attain whole brain synchronicity. In this state of agelessness, the bliss state arises.

After the gongs open you up with their multiple overtones, the crystal alchemy singing bowls and other crystal instruments intone directly to individual chakras which govern organs and other parts of the body. You will feel the peaceful energy of their harmonic resonance as it permeates your body at a cellular level, inducing deep relaxation. These soothing sounds help you tune into the Divine within, shifting consciousness, helping to move you to a higher level of awareness as chakras align, clearing obstructions, setting the foundation for healing to occur. 

Sound Journeys last about an hour, after which we will remain still for a few minutes in silent meditation to allow the vibrations to integrate with your body and being. We often have Sound Journeys during the full moon as that is when the earth’s energy is greatest and more beneficial for healing.
