Sound Bath Sessions 047: Rosan Cruz

Rosan Cruz's sessions were recorded in her apartment in Green Hills where she holds sessions. She usually plays planetary gongs which as I learned are gongs tuned to a specific frequency and have a more controlled sound. Symphonic gongs are more musical and random in nature yielding other-worldly, ethereal sounds. Planetary gongs also have spiritual meanings that sound healers use to create gong combinations according to the client's needs. In performance, I feel planetary gongs lend a narrower, stable sonic spectrum within a wide and powerful image.

In this sound bath, Rosan used the large Earth gong and the small Chiron gong. The earth gong is used to open our hearts to unconditional love and enlightened thinking. The Chiron gong is the ‘wounded healer’ and helps us release trauma and pain. This track is mysterious and dramatic. The warm low earth sounds, contrast with the high pitch of the Chiron as the sounds swirl and pulsate in about your ears.
