The Gong is one of man's oldest therapeutic instruments, and is used in yoga, sound meditation, and vibrational therapy from
the distant past to present. The Gong is an ideal tool for stress reduction, stimulation of the glandular system, and as a
facilitator to break up emotional blockages. This training program is meant to take you through the world of the Gong which
makes this an ideal course of study for those who own Gongs, or are thinking of purchasing one. Aspects of this program will
cover Gong styles and types, playing implements, stands, playing techniques including rub mallets, and more.
The basic structure of this syllabus is in 5 parts, with the first 2 representing all the basic and essential knowledge
about Gongs, followed by 3 advanced workshops which penetrate the inner understanding of this most ancient of instruments.
The program examines the tonal alchemy and metaphysical approaches with an emphasis on how to use the Gong's frequency domains
as a psycho-acoustical entry point for shifting consciousness. The Gong technician who can reach a place of non- conceptuality
and locality can use the Gong as a wheelhouse to alter Time and Space.
