Gong releasing subconscious

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know why the sound of the gong is able to release the subconscious?

I know that the gong can cause emotions and thoughts to be provoked from the

subconscious and that the nervous system is put under a pressure to adjust and

heal.

But what specifically about the sound of the gong causes this healing?

Sat Nam Hannah,

Sound only exists because of the presence of 'matter' (Sound IS

matter to some of us). In this case that matter is air. The air

between the struck Gong and your eardrums vibrates your eardrums. We

know that. But, the other part of the body that is touched by this

vibration is your skin, the largest sensory organ we have. The body is

a repository of every experience you have ever had. This is the

subconscious mind. The sound of the

gong has the ability to stimulate and remind us of our genetic origins. The Sound of the Gong is the sound of

'creation', as opposed to just any music, in the hands of an attuned

'master'.

 

"The gong is very simple. It is an inter-vibratory system. It is the

sound of Creativity itself. The gong is nothing more, nothing less. One

who plays the gong plays the universe. The gong is not an ordinary

thing to play. Out of it come all music, all sounds, and all words. The

sound of the gong is the nucleus of the Word . The gong is not a

musical instrument, nor a drum. The gong is God. So it is said; so it

is"

--Yogi Bhajan

 

The body experiences this very whole sound as "pressure waves" that

reminds our cells to vibrate at their highest. In doing so we have a

chance to relate to our spirit, Soul and our depth without the normal

fears and angers associated with operating from a place of "doing",

which is the realm of the sympathetic nervous system. This is

effortless healing. Release is inevitable as the Gong stimulates and

balances the Para-sympathetic nervous system, which governs involuntary

actions like breathing, digestion, heart beat, etc.

There is no defense against the Sacred gong when it is played

skillfully.

This has the power to heal illness

you don't even know you have.

Sat Nam, my personal opinion is that the sound waves

of a powerful, perfectly played gong

meditation/relaxation work on the cellular level (not

cell phones but body and brain cells!). These sound

waves set up a new and clear vibration for these cells

to vibrate at. We are ALWAYS vibrating at some level,

unfortunately it may be at the level of greed, or

anger or lust or whatever negative aspects we choose

to vibrate at and yes, it is a choice! We also can

choose a positive vibration or unquestioning love, or

service or compassion, and that feels good. But a gong

brings us a powerful and clear vibration. Think about

when you have chanted a heart opening mantra or sang a

beautiful song. It's like that only the effect is

enhanced because you needn't make any effort but to

relax and let it happen. The gong will carry you to

places and spaces free of subconscious. It's not

perfect (it's a process) but it is powerful and

cleansing.
