This book presents a 'system' for self-healing and expanded awareness using GONG SOUND VIBRATIONS. It is being used to help treat a variety of ailments including anxiety and depression, fatigue and physical pain and injury to more serious health issues. The book contains two years of research that helps to understand exactly how the GONG can be used effectively. This book can help any individual or healing practitioner feel confident to begin gong sound healing and integrate it with other healing modalities for maximum effect.
The gong has been used for thousands of years in Asia and is becoming known as an inexpensive non-invasive healing modality. Its sound waves induce a meditative state and enter into the body, affecting change at the cellular level, as well as the quantum level. Even in one session, a noticeable change is experienced. With multiple sessions, life-changing transformation is possible. The gong practice ultimately involves remembering the One True Self–and the expressions of equanimity, love and compassion–Gong Consciousness itself.
Gong Self-Healing Through the Power of Sound will empower any individual in the process of choosing the right gong and get up and running immediately for self-healing, and for friends and family members.
Jain Wells, Ph.D., is a transpersonal psychologist, teacher, clinical hypnotherapist, and has also been trained in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Gong and Sound Healing, and a number of other healing modalities. She is also a singer-songwriter and uses music to communicate her ideas around personal growth and spiritual transformation.
See her YouTube “Jain Wells.” Visit her www.drjainwells.com. Jain also has support videos - A Healing and Consciousness Course - available on her website drjainwells.com, Instagram page, Rumble account, and her YouTube channel, Dr Jain Wells. It includes a separate Body Conscious series with it. These videos offer powerful practices that can transform your energy and consciousness - emotionally, psychologically, physically and spiritually.
Gong Consciousness, as described by Wells, is a "Highly awakened state of consciousness, where you are aware of the present moment. You are alert and undistracted, you are freely available to notice what arises on your life-screen at any given moment."
What Wells describes is more than a therapeutic modality for healing the body and what ails the mind, but a sort of meditation that comes from allowing the sound to envelope you. She describes Gong Meditation as accelerated Meditation, because the rich overtones of the Gong provide healing vibrations that heal the body, sooth the soul and allow the spirit to soar.
As a believer in sonic healing and a follower of the Gong Consciousness ideals, I believe Wells provides an excellent introduction to sound as a healing modality & for using the gong as instrument of healing and mediation. Additionally, this book provides some excellent exercises, a gong-purchasing guide and a brief overview of gong playing techniques and giving sound baths.
I wanted to see more instruction on creating sound baths, but Wells packs a lot of information into this book. There is even a Gong Master Trainer Appenedix in the back for those interested in learning more. I enjoyed this book and highly recommend to anyone in a sonic healing capacity, yogis and others who may be interested in using sound meditation as part of their overall system of wellness.
This book on gong healing provides valuable and practical guidance, ranging from selecting the appropriate gong to understanding the advantages of sound healing.
