Our Aims
promoting emotional well-being through mindfulness
Each part of the human body carries its respective frequencies. Since ancient times, Chinese tradition has advocated that the way of health is to harmonize the movement of Qi (vital energy) in the body.
Meditation promotes a sense of well-being , inner peace, stability and calm. It also promotes clarity of mind, mental awareness, and the ability to be present which is essential in mindfulness practice.
When hearing sounds, for example, we don't just listen through our ears. We actually feel the vibrations of the sounds all over our body. We feel relaxed when we hear pleasant sounds; while noises make us irritable, anxious, and produce negative emotions. Gong healing has a unique sound system, which mainly uses the vibrations of the gong to improve the circulation of Qi and to restore physical and emotional health to the body.
The pace of society is constantly accelerating. Around the world, health and emotional problems stemming from stress are ever increasing. When stress is released, many chronic diseases, sleep quality, mood, and relationships can be improved. Physical and emotional health will naturally be restored. Among the most common sound relaxation instruments used in today's mindfulness classes, gong has the strongest resonance that can eliminate distracting thoughts, balance emotions, and promote inner harmony and joy.
