GONG MEDITATION FOR GUESTS DURING AVURUDU HOLIDAYS
Fox Resorts has tied up with Gong Meditation UK to offer guests staying over the Avurudu holidays an experience of peace and mindfulness through the ancient practice of Gong Meditation. This rare experience is offered to guests at no charge, as a gesture of thanks during the difficult period of the COVID pandemic.
Gong meditation is a unique type of sound practice that involves using therapeutic sounds and vibrations to awaken the body’s healing processes. The practice is often referred to as a “gong bath”,as participants are immersed in meditative sound waves.
Every Gong Bath is a very personal experience, depending on where an individual is in their journey through life. It is one of the easiest and quickest ways to encourage a deep meditative state.
The shifting frequencies and rhythms of the gong lead the brain effortlessly into theta and alpha brain waves, stimulating cells in the body and promoting a state of deep calm, clarity and mindfulness. The sounds can be as quiet as a whisper or a roar of intense, primal power that can be felt moving in and around the body.
Guest experiences can range from pleasant sensations and feelings such as loss of body awareness, creative visions, dreams, and mild euphoria to a relaxation so complete that participants can fall asleep.the vibrations of the gong harmonize the body’s vibrations, bring it back into a natural balance, and promote emotional and physical healing by releasing stresses caused by trauma, illness, or lifestyle.
Gong Meditation is suitable for everyone, especially for those who normally struggle to meditate, as the sound waves and vibrations centre the wandering mind. It promotes meditation and stress relief, and is a powerful tool to soothe, calm,and find inner balance. It is a spiritual and harmonizing experience that reduces anxiety and depression, stimulating well-being and inner healing. The vibrations are designed to open chakras that release blocked energy and emotions.
