Following are some of the instruments used in intuitive sound during our sound meditations:
The Tibetan Gong An ancient instrument where brain wave patterns change to allow the person listening to move into a meditative state. Some sounds will give a deeper sense of peace and relaxation. Sometimes the effect can be quite cathartic. This is usually about where the persons psyche i The Gong is one of man’s most powerful and oldest transformational and therapeutic instruments. It has been used for ritual, ceremony, prayer, and meditation since the Bronze Age. The Gongs are made from a brass known as nickel silver to a formula of 63% copper, 25% zinc and 12% nickel. |
They belong to the oldest and most important musical instruments of South East Asia. Their origins may be traced back to the second millennium B.C., but it is assumed that the gong is much older. In Chinese history, gongs are mentioned around 500 A.D., attributed to a nation called HSI YU between Tibet and Burma during the reign of Emperor Hsuan Wu.
“The gong is known as an instrument of transformational power. It is a tool by which we are engulfed in total sound, and through our intuition, we are brought back to optimum health and balance... It is the unique quality of a gong’s resonance that integrates diverse elements into a power of synergy, or functional harmony. We also call the tone produced by the gong a “feeling tone,” because we feel it in our body, as well as hear it.”
--Don Conreaux, Gong Master

Crystal Bowls The use of tuned, deep-vibration instruments such as crystal bowls during healing and meditation can balance dissonant frequencies and bring them back into harmony. Music and chanting have been used for thousands of years to heal and energize the body, mind and emotions. |
