Welcome to a unique, immersive experience that promises to reharmonize your body, mind and soul: the Bain de Gongs.
What is a Gong Bath?
A gong bath is a deep relaxation session in which participants are bathed in the powerful, enveloping vibrations of gongs. These ancient instruments, used for millennia for meditation and relaxation, produce a complex range of sounds that resonate throughout the body, promoting a state of deep relaxation and well-being.
The Benefits of Gong Bathing
● Stress Reduction: The vibrations of the gongs help to release physical and mental tension, enabling deep relaxation.
● Energetic Balance: The sounds harmonize the chakras and meridians, restoring the body’s energetic balance.
● Improved Sleep: A gong bath session can improve sleep quality by promoting a state of calm and serenity.
● Stimulation of Creativity: Sound waves can stimulate imagination and creativity, opening up new perspectives.
● Strengthening the Immune System: The deep relaxation induced by gong bathing can strengthen the immune system by reducing levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.
How does a session work?
During a gong bath session, you are invited to lie comfortably on a mat or blanket, with your eyes closed. The practitioner plays the gongs intuitively, creating a symphony of sound that envelops you completely. Each session is unique and adapted to the energy of the moment.
Join us for an Unforgettable Experience
Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned practitioner of wellness practices, gong bathing is an experience accessible to all. Come and discover the transformative powers of sound vibrations and treat yourself to a moment of pure relaxation and reconnection with yourself.
For the best possible experience, bring warm, comfortable clothes and eye protection. Mats, bolsters and blankets will be available on site, but you’re welcome to bring your own accessories.
We look forward to welcoming you to this unique sonic adventure. Prepare to be transported by the magical vibrations of the gongs!
