On Saturday 13 January we welcomed Phillipe to Hengist Field Care Home for a unique meditation experience known as Gong Bath.
As our meditation sessions with Nina are so popular, we decided to try a Gong Bath.
A Gong Bath (meditation), also known as a ‘Sound Bath’ or a ‘Sound Massage’, is a fully clothed, relaxing and blissful experience where you bathe in healing sound waves (no baths involved!). You simply close your eyes and relax.
We prepared the room with drapes, low lighting, LED candles, scented diffusers and starry ceiling projectors, making sure it was warm, calming and tranquil.
Phillipe started by explaining the benefits of a Gong Bath, how it can affect people differently and how it can make you feel. He also explained that we must all drink plenty of water as the vibrations of the Gongs can dehydrate you. He then guided us through a short relaxation session, followed by using the Gongs and other instruments.
The Gong Bath was a complete success and our residents have already requested for Phillipe to visit us again.
Thank you for such a wonderfully soothing session Phillipe – we’re looking forward to seeing you again soon. Â
