The Gong Show!!

The Gong Show

Have you ever driven by a store and had the thought, “I need to stop in there.”?

 

Well, there is this one place, EurAsian Interiors on Broadway in Denver, CO that I happened to drive by frequently over the last 3 years.  Every time I saw it, I had the thought I’d like to go in there and look around.

 

Never happened.

 

Three days ago, I was driving past it again headed home.  I heard the voice in my head (you KNOW the one I’m talking about!) say quite loudly…Time to STOP and check it out.

 

I tend to pay attention to that voice.  So I turned around and went back.  When I tried to go in the door stuck.  I thought it might not be open, but pushed harder and it did.

 

It was like stepping back in time to Europe/Asia or transporting there immediately.  The shop was filled with treasures.

 

I walked around for a bit and spotted this gong.  It’s from Beijing China.  I asked a salesperson, who was present but not pushy, if I could play it.  She said sure.

 

When I picked up the mallet to see what kind of sound we could make together, I heard a male voice in the background (behind a screen) say, “Sure, go ahead and bang on it.  I do.”  I replied that I was a sound healer and it might be a different experience.

 

As I began tapping the gong with the mallet there was a multitude of tones that started to make themselves known.  The sound was enticing and inviting and captivating.  My breath became easier and I immediately knew that I was there for this gong.

 

I asked if they had others…  NO …

 

I checked the price and had the thought, “anything is possible.”

 

So I went in search of the male voice behind the screen and found the owner, Rusty.  He agreed that no one had played the gong quite the way I had before and was intrigued by what I do.

 

We talked for a bit and I asked the question, “What is the lowest price you’ll take for the gong?”  He said he had to think about it a bit and crunch some numbers.

 

I went looking around the rest of the shop and thought to myself, “What is the highest price I will pay for the gong?”  An immediate number came to mind.

 

About 10 minutes later the owner came over and named his price.   You probably guessed it by now.  It was the exact number that came to my mind before.

 

I couldn’t have planned this stuff!  The Universe definitely had a hand in this gong coming to live with me and be a part of my sound tool family.

 

I made arrangements to pick it up the next day.  When I got home I grabbed someone walking by to help me get it in the house.  I did a clearing on the gong and moved other sound tools around it to energetically attune them before making and sounds.

 

Here is the gong in HER new home.  Definitely feminine!  Definitely happy!  Unbelievable full spectrum sounds.

 

Stay tuned for a gong bath sound healing video for the holidays ….

How to support ‘traditional health issues” with sound.

Leave a comment

After my recent post about rotator cuff surgery, I received a question from a reader.  The question was, “Why would I post a traditional article on a common surgical procedure?”

 

Now it’s time to relate it to sound.  So, how did sound and energetic medicine help with traditional surgery and recovery?

 

One of the first things I did was with OM Unison (or two C forks that can be placed on the body).  Because I could not use my right arm, I put one fork in my right hand.  I hit the other fork to get it vibrating and put that on different points on my body.  One point was to support liver function.  The other point was to support the kidneys.  Another point was to support the spleen.

 

These alone helped to remove the effects of anesthesia and medication from the surgery.  Most folks have no idea how deeply anesthesia effects the physical, emotional and energetic bodies.

 

First, you’ll notice you might get cold.  Knowing that might happen is important.  Think about when you wake up from surgery.  They want you to breathe and re-oxygenate the body.  You are cold!  They pile warm blankets on you to help you recover and wake up.

 

When you start to release side effects, it makes sense that you might get cold.  You might get nauseous as well (depending on the surgery).  If that is the case, stop and let things calm down.  Then try again.  Don’t worry that you are hurting anything.  It will pass.  Just be gentle with yourself in the process.

 

To promote healing for rotator cuff specifically, you can use OM unison forks (balancing and calming energy) to start.  I put one in my right hand and the other in my left hand and just held them after I hit them to get them vibrating.

 

As the healing progresses you can use other forks to support your process.  These forks can be placed on other points and meridians that will assist in the healing.  For instance to “open” will help release blocked or stagnant energy in those meridians and organs.  A 6th interval is good for this.

 

As always, pay attention to what and how your body responds.  If you have side effects becoming apparent (nausea, cold, spasming) then adjust as necessary.  By that I mean, move further away from the area that is responding on the body.  Or give yourself more time between vibrating the forks for things to be gentler.

 

To support respiratory function, I put OM unison forks on the LU1 points (located about 3″ above the nipple on the chest/each side).  This will help your breathing to regulate.  That will also help with other side effects.

 

I hope you found this helpful?  If you have any specific questions, please take the time to send a comment and I’ll get back to you quickly.
