Gong meditation (sound bath) at Love Bird Yoga in Redmond

The sound of the gong opens the portal to another realm of consciousness and, as such, is a sacred instrument that sanctifies those around it. The sound of the gong helps to induce alpha and theta brain wave state, where the body’s own innate healing capabilities lie. It resets the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, increasing beneficial hormones like melatonin, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins, dopamine. At the same time it decreases more harmful hormones such as cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and lactate. All of which can damage the body, weaken the immune system, and lead to disease and the dysfunction.
