March 1st, 7-8pm Gong Bath

Gong Bath™ March 1st, 7-8pm

Cost: $20 pre-registration ($25 at the door)
with Mark Placzkowski of gongspirit.com

Please come 15 Mins early to set-up and settle in!

The sound of the gong creates deep relaxation, freeing us from the flood of thoughts our mind releases, and stimulates the glandular system to a higher level of functioning.

During the gong meditation emotional transformation is produced as it reduces tension, releases blocks and stimulates circulation. The result is a reorganization of the emotional energy and feelings that are tied into the body structure. The gong changes feelings that are blocked by cutting the thoughts that sustain and recreate the feelings.

The gong meditation clears the nerve endings and regenerates the parasympathetic system which is ruled by sound. The parasympathetic system sends “relax” messages to all the organs. It regulates the rebuilding functions of the body and it is vital for handling stress since it coordinates the recovery period from stress. To regenerate the parasympathetic system, nothing is more powerful than the gong.

All the student needs to do is let the entire body relax and let the sound of the gong penetrate the body and guide the mind.

The Gong Bath™ will soothe, inspire & awaken your spirit as Sacred Sound Practitioner Mark Placzkowski bathes you with sounds from a 36” Pluto & 38” Sun gong. At first, you hear soft delicate voices echoing from the gong & as you listen carefully, you become aware of the many tones within one sound. Sounds of varying frequencies are created that wash over, around & through you much as you would imagine the waves of the ocean. The gong is a beautiful reinforced vibration of the sound of Creativity itself.
