The Sound of Serenity
Event Description
Tune into the Naad through mantra meditation and an extended group gong therapy session.
Naad means “cosmic sound” or “vibrations of the cosmos.” When we chant, or use our voice in devotion, the immaculate sound current of the Naad begins to vibrate within us. The sound of the Naad is not created by striking two objects together. It’s the sound of human consciousness itself. The articulated sound of mantra will be used to silence the internal noise that sometimes overwhelms the mind, allowing us to enjoy the soundless sound that radiates from our bodies when we clear ourselves out.
Once we’ve settled into the current using our voice, the vibration of the gong will guide us throughout the rest of our process. Yogi Bhajan said that “there is only one thing that can supersede and command the human mind, the sound of the gong.” Just 7 minutes with the gong can take you to a state of consciousness called Turiya, where you’re hanging in the balance between sleep and wake state. In this state of consciousness, participants may experience enhanced creative vision, self and soul learnings, and release from all things exacerbated by stress. Think of gong therapy as a vibrational massage, sonic purification of the subconscious mind, or just a deeply relaxing time to come back into a state of peace in a time that so badly needs a sense of serenity. This is your opportunity to discover the power of your voice, the power of sound, and reach the stillness beyond the noise.
