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 ….
