What is a gong bath?

A gong bath is an immersive meditation experience and a unique sound practice where a variety of gongs, mallets and other instruments to create sounds & vibrations to bring about deep relaxation. Gongs are a sacred and powerful instrument that have been used for thousands of years with the power to provide a deep sense of relaxation and a sense of peace & tranquillity in the mind & body.
