Gong Meditation with Wellbeing Wave – Castle Park Arts Centre

The gong as a meditation tool has been around for thousands of years. The sound-waves can interrupt the brainwave patterns of your busy, stressed mind to allow access to the more semi-conscious dream like brainwave states similar to that just before sleep. Vibrations from the gong can ripple through the body and release emotional blockages and stress.

Lie back, relax and let the hypnotic sounds of the gong wash over you…
