The goal of “gong meditation” is usually therapeutic, whereas mindfulness meditation has many therapeutic benefits, yet it’s deeper goal is awareness and non-judgmental appreciation of the present moment. Sound therapy has long been used to manage a broad range of health conditions. The treatments are based on the understanding that all forms of matter – including our body’s cells – vibrate at different frequencies. Conditions such as stress, depression and disease cause cells and organs within our bodies to vibrate at non-optimal frequencies. Vibrational gong therapy can aid in balancing these frequencies.
