This Is Gong

What is your idea of relaxation?At the end of a stressful day, what do you choose to do?For many people, it’s turning on the TV for a few hours. That might take the edge off in the short term — but what lasting benefits does it really bring?

Much deeper levels of relaxation can be achieved through yoga and meditation.

There are many meditation techniques: repeating a mantra, watching the breath, or simply observing passing thoughts. Vibration-based meditation is less well known but incredibly powerful, especially for beginners. Unlike other methods, it doesn’t require months of practice to reach a deep state of calm.

Vibration instruments include singing bowls, bells, tuning forks, and gongs.The main advantage of the gong is the speed at which it carries the listener into a meditative state.


The Unique Power of Gong Vibration

Bowls, bells, and tuning forks offer single, sustained notes, repeated again and again. Gongs, on the other hand, create a wall of sound — millions of notes at once. Each gong has a fundamental tone, but surrounding it are countless overtones: repeating layers of sound that rise and fall above and below the main note.

This richness is what makes the gong so intoxicating.The more you listen, the more your mind and body naturally relax and let go.

When you strike a tuning fork, its frequency remains steady while its volume gradually fades — that’s called decay. A gong behaves differently: every stroke produces multiple frequencies and amplitudes at once. These tones mix and interact, creating an effect where the sound seems to fade, then rise again — a pulsing wave of vibration called resound.

It’s like hearing an echo roll across a canyon, only this time the canyon is inside you.


The Mind Follows the Sound

Because resound is so different from everyday noise, the mind is drawn toward it.Allowing your awareness to float on these vibrations helps the body follow — into a state of deep physical and mental release.

As you immerse yourself, you may slip into a space that feels like sleep, but with your awareness awake and clear.This is the state where healing can happen.This is deep relaxation.

This is Gong.


Feel the vibration with your whole body. 🪘✨


Sat Nam, and thanks for watching,


Mike, and Andrea
