Taking time out with a gong bath (#13)

Today I like to take you on a journey of sounds, in particular of
an ancient instrument from Western China, the gong. Today, gongs
are often used as meditation music - and that's maybe where you
have heard them recently.


Gong baths became an important part of my self care and daily
meditation practise about a year ago, helping me to take care of
my subconscious mind as well as my body. Both my mind and body
need a sort of “time out” at times, especially when dealing with
T1D, which adds extra stress to my life (diabetes distress). Gong
baths help me to do just that. I can relax and just ‘be’, feeling
more capable to deal with life’s challenges and responsibilities.


I, therefore made this episode to share my personal practise with
you and for you to experience its benefits at home.


You are going to hear an interview with my gong teacher Wendy
Burbidge. In the interview we discuss:


  What a gong bath is
    How gongs became Wendy's passion


  What motivates people to do gong baths


  What it's health benefits are and how it can slow down our
brain waves





Wendy and I recorded 2 gong baths for you! One is at the
end of this episode, played on a bigger gong with deeper sound.
The other one is with a smaller gong and higher sound, which you
can find free to listen to on my blogcast @thehappytypeone.com.
There you can also find illustrations, a bit of history and some
of the health benefits listed, people experienced in gong baths.


I look forward hearing from you on instagram on how you liked
this episode.
