Harmony of the Spheres

Tired of the same old dinner and a movie date for Saturday night? Why not try a Gong Bath. It’s a novel, stimulating and soothing experience that you can do together, lying down — with your clothes on.
Harmony of the Spheres is performed using a collection of massive Himalayan gongs, singing bowls, drums and voice that elicit vibrations, which harness the healing power of sound to restore harmony and balance to the body, mind and spirit.
Adult Participants of all ages enter a large yoga studio, take a space on a mat with blankets provided, lie down, get comfortable, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and the magic begins. For the next hour — which seemed like 10 minutes — the transformational sounds wash over you, vibrating all the body’s cells, bones and organs to help bring them into balance.
My body felt like a shimmering jellyfish, while my mind took an extraterrestrial trip on a luge circling the rings of Saturn, (reminiscent of my old psychedelic days no doubt)
Apparently the sound of these harmonic vibrations, created by the instruments, stimulates alpha and theta brain waves associated with deep meditative and peaceful states.
A brochure available at the door indicates that these gong performances are also available weddings, births, new home blessings or any rite of passage where you want «hearts to open and abundant blessings to flow for ourselves and others.»
Note: I highly recommend this experience. Remember to wear comfortable, casual clothing, good socks and bring a pillow.
This event takes place on various Friday and Saturday evenings throughout the year, so check their website to book a space in advance.
