Gong Meditation For Stillness & Intuition

This meditation consists of gong strikes played at calculated intervals, with varying lengths of silence between. The sound vibrations begin to still the mind, letting you settle into a deeper state of meditation. It's wonderful for beginners, or those who want a deeper, quieter meditation experience but find it difficult to maintain silence on their own. I was taught this meditation at The Meditation Centre, Dent UK where I am an Associate Teacher. Headphones are recommended.

Transcript

I'm Kathy.

I'm leading you in a gong meditation.

You can sit or lie down for this meditation.

I will strike the gong at calculated intervals.

Let your attention follow the sound of the gong.

When the sound is gone,

Bring your attention back to your breath until the next gong strike.

Near the end of the meditation,

I will play a flurry of gong strikes.

Stay in relaxation at that point with your eyes still closed.

After a few minutes of consolidation at the end,

I will give you instructions to come out of meditation.

Let's prepare for meditation.

Sit in your chair with both feet flat on the floor,

Your back tall but not stretched.

Let your shoulders drop and place your hands with palms upward on your thighs.

Let your jaw and face soften.

Looking straight ahead,

Lightly close your eyes if you're comfortable to do so.

Now take a couple of deep breaths,

Feeling your belly rise on the in-breath and fall on the out-breath.

Breathe in and out.

In and out.

Let your breathing pattern return to normal now.

When thoughts arise during the meditation,

Bring your attention back to the gong sound.

If there's no sound,

Pay attention to the physical sensation of your breath in and out.

At the end,

I'll give you instructions to finish.

We'll begin the meditation.

You can slowly start to bring your attention back into the room,

Noticing sounds around you.

You can have a little wiggle of your fingers and toes,

Perhaps a stretch or a yawn.

When you're ready,

In your own time,

And with a downward gaze,

You can slowly open your eyes.

This was my first gong meditation. Thank you 🙏 I am currently unwell and it was very grounding to be guided into relaxation and breathing 💕

This was my first gong meditation and I really enjoyed it. I loved the clash of the gong, then the reverberating vibration and then the stillness. Thank you Kathy 💜

Wonderful deep meditation, was completely relaxed in no time x

What an amazing experience. I loved the end as the gongs washed over me and through me. Thank you.

Thankyou Kathy, that was lovely. My mind slowed down and I loved the vibration of the gongs. 😊
