Some of the most popular classes that we offer include gong meditation, and it’s for a good reason. Sounds including gong baths and crystal bowls have been shown to have many benefits, both physical and mental. The vibrations that the gongs produce act as a sort of emotional and mental massage, working out issues and ailments the same way a massage therapist works on your muscles.

Regular meditation already has so many benefits. It reduces stress, increases personal self-awareness, helps control anxiety, and helps people grow their attention spans. Adding the gong to meditation amplifies all of these benefits, and adds more.

The sound of the gong can help reduce stress and clear emotional blocks that may be difficult to surmount under normal circumstances. Gong meditation has also been shown to have a soothing effect on the nervous system, further reducing both physical and emotional stress. It also balances your emotions and energy, allowing you to move forward with positive intent.

Adding the sound of the gong to meditation acts as a sort of “guide” to aid in your mindful meditation. Your awareness of the sound of the gong is an anchor that keeps you present in the moment and gives you something to focus on, rather than letting your mind wander.

So now that you know some of the many benefits of gong meditation, why not try it for yourself, whether it’s in your own home or at a studio. At our RYK Yoga Center located at 2280 S Jones Blvd in Las Vegas, Nevada, we offer classes that feature gong meditation at least once a day, either by itself or with Kundalini yoga, and we encourage you to join us for some!

After all, there’s no better way to learn how gong meditation can help you than letting go, and going with the gong!
