My experience working with a well made gong specifically for healing is paramount to the kind of result I obtain. I often share how important gong choice is with my gong students as unless the gong used is of a particular quality it will not penetrate the body in the same way to affect important inner change – either for physical health or emotional well-being. I share this information widely as I observe in various social media posts that talk about healing that this important point is not necessarily well understood and adhered with.
Using a quality well made gong is essential for obtaining gong healing results because of the tonal quality it emits – and I share this as someone who has ten years of clinical gong healing experience, and as a trained psychotherapist for well over two decades. Being well made includes having the precision frequency bandwidth that they must have, and how that tonal effusive emission comes from the gong as it is being played. Gong healing effusive is a term I use to describe sound texture which is part of what defines a quality well made gong, as I know from direct personal experience and witnessing its effect on human energy both emotionally and physically.
Quality gongs made from the metal alloy blend known as nickel-silver – that when crafted by a highly skilled gong maker that takes years to master – offer precise tonal vibration energy that are highly resonant and penetrate the human energy field very well to enhance deep level healing. In addition, the sound does have to be applied accurately and for a certain duration of time also. This is something that a gong sound healing practitioner learns through experience as not all health issues will be treated in the same way. Sound frequency application is something I have discovered over years of observation and trial-and-error process. The nickel-silver gong is my preferred choice of gong for dedicated one-to-one healing however I also work with other quality made gongs for certain types of health issues. Working with the right type and size of gong is important, and knowing a client’s in-depth health circumstance is also critical to how the gong sound energy will be applied. Much work in the handcrafting of gongs has been mainly centered in and around Germany. A special and unique handcrafted manual heating and hammering process is used that has to be mastered through years of training in order to effectively create that perfect sound tonal quality with just the right sound energy emission – that as I have shared is what enhances deep level healing. I have witnessed astounding examples of healing with these gongs.
This is the work that I teach with my developed Gong Healing Method created through years of work with many different people with a variety of different health problems. While my initial foray into gong healing naturally began with emotional-psychological healing it soon involved physical level healing, and I have facilitated very many examples of healing that need to be known, and do require a certain kind of approach for effective healing. And also know, that while sound vibration from a gong is mostly healing, too much sound vibration or improperly applied gong vibration can be harmful for someone who is sensitive or has a serious health issue. Gong with sensitivity.
