Sunday Morning Gong Bath

A Different Vibe Every Time

Micheal's Gong & Sound Baths each offer there own diferrent Vibe, which will feel different each time. Micheal's Gong Space will have been prepared for you, and will be brimming with Positive, Happy, Healing energy, which your aura will detect within minutes.

Your Journey Starts Right Here

You are invited onto a very special and magical journey, one that will invoke your inner senses while calming,soothing and balancing your mind and body. Your destination is a place where wellbeing, relaxation and healing abide, a place where altered states of consciousness, plus high vibrational healing energy await you, and each journey promises to be different and different for everyone else.

Micheal's Gong Space will have been prepared for you, and will be brimming with Positive, Happy, Healing energy, which your aura will detect within minutes. These journey's can resemble a day dream, where your mind can feel miles away from your body, but your always connected. And as you slowly come back down to Earth, your body will be waiting for you, but it will feel different. Less Stressed, More Calm,Balanced, Uplifted and Energised. Most people say they feel lighter, and happier, having Sensed and Felt the Warmth and Love of the Universe.

It has almost all the benefits associated with meditation, but with the minimal effort on your part. In fact the only effort is Qigongs simple, yet powerful Healing Smile, at our lungs first then our heart, and a different method of breathing, where for the first few minutes we use a double breath in and a long deep breath out, then its normal breathing and just going with the flow, you can even fall asleep and still receive the benefits.

Micheal's Gong Studio

This event is at Micheal's Gong Studio at Chase Farm near Blyth,and is available for up to 4 guests, Once you have purchased 6 tickeys your next one is free for you. Entry available from 10.45 for a 11 am start. Fasten your seat belts and prepare for a magical journey into your inner self, and beyond.

Once you are comfortable and settled Micheal will give a brief introduction and set the intention, which you can repeat, or you can choose your own.

He will then guide you with Deep belly breathing which uses two breaths in, a short pause and a long deep breath out, as he plays the Koshi chimes. This technique will remove more C02 (Carbon Dioxide) from your body than any other breathing method, together with any any stale stagnant energy that has been trapped in your body. This method is also more effective in lowering stress, anxiety and tension as well as your blood pressure and providing more relaxation for your body.

With the eyes closed, and coupled to the deep breathing your brain waves will start to slow down, going from Beta, into Alpha, which has a positive effect on the vagus nerve causing your parasympathetic nervous system to relax the bodies main organs.

The crystals you will be holding have been Reikied so you will receive both Crystal and Reiki healing energy for as long as you hold them.

For the next part Micheal will use a short guided meditation from Qigongs Inner or Healing Smile. This simple yet powerful exercise directs your own healing energy into your lungs and heart chakras.. Micheal has handouts for you to take away and use this on yourself for all areas of your body, and together with the deep belly breathing will help maintain your wellbeing, as well as your Vibration.

As the Gongs begin your brainwaves will slow further taking you beyond Alpha into Theta and for many, into Delta. Now to make your journey more "mindful" you can either focus on the healing energy from the Gong flowing through your body, or you can restart your deep belly breathing, or continue with the inner smile on other organs and parts of your body such as painful muscles, joints etc. Or as many people do, just allow your mind to wander to some nice happy, positive places, and you can even allow yourself to fall asleep if you want, and as the vibrations from the Gong enter through every part of your body, as well as your ears you will still receive all the benefits if you do fall asleep. Many people cycle through each of these.

Your bodies vibrational rate will begin to rise, to match the higher vibrations from the Sound, Crystals, and Reiki. As this happens any harmful negative energy in your body will begin to collapse, and fall away and this will initiate your body to begin healing itself Your levels of calm and relaxation will increase, plus the soothing of your nervous system, strengthening your immune and energy systems and releasing a host of hormones to make you feel good.

During the Gong Bath you will be transported on a journey where you may feel the connection with your higher self and the universe. These connections produce profound levels of peace and calmness as well as unconditional absolute love

Time itself can become strangely distorted during a Sound bath, which can make time feel longer or even shorter for some people. But eventually the session does come to an end, as the sound of the Gongs gently fade away before falling silent. This is not an empty silence however, it is a sacred silence created by the Gong sounds fading away, full of intense profound healing power, many people find this part of the session the most powerful.

The Session Ends. Congratulations You Have Been Gonged.

Although the session eventually comes to an end, as the Gongs fall silent, the benefits certainly dont. Micheal will allow you several minutes to soak up the receiding energies from the Gongs as you gently return to Earth. Bottled or Filtered water is available. Micheal will encourage you to share your experience should you wish to do so and answer any questions you may have. before you return home. Please try to drink more fluids during this week to help flush out the toxins that will be released by your body as a result of the intensity of the combined Gong Bath.

Experiencing Energies

As with many therapies some people may experience very brief moments of anxiety, grief or sadness as harmful negative energies begin to collapse, and fall away and this is perfectly normal and beneficial, and helps to maintain our mental health. Should this happen during the Gong Bath there are several things you can do to help. Restarting your deep belly breaths will help to reground, and calm you, and using the Inner smile to smile into the memory, or situation will minimise the effect of any anxieties or other negative feelings. Micheal incorporates periods of silence or "Sandhya" between the sounds, in order to help your mind process and release any negative experiences,and feelings.

Also included on this session are 7 Distant Reiki Healing sessions for all attendees.

Starting from the following evening for 7 days Micheal will send you all a Distant Crystal Reiki Healing Session, which will also helps to re-balance you and your energy.These additional sessions can be of particular help when someone experiences some sadness, grief, and anxiety. These negative aspects should all be viewed in a positive light as it indicates that the combined Crystal, Reiki and Sound energies are working to heal and restore your body and mind.

Maintaining your Higher Vibration

Micheal will encourage you to continue using the powerful practises of abdominal belly breathing and the Inner Smile on a regular basis, which will help maintain your higher vibration and improve your health and wellbeing. Handouts and leaflets are available which go into more detail about the breathing and inner smile.

Gong sound therapy has been practiced for thousands of years, and Gongs were one of the first instruments to be used here on the Earth. Here Micheal uses three of his Gongs for this event. Each are played with a variety of mallets, and styles of play to avoid overly producing a monotonous rhythm. The sounds of the gongs can be both magical and haunting, and help connect us to our higher self, the universe, and for some even the creator of all things. Gong baths offer a psycho-acoustic gateway to a heightened state of consciousnesses, and awareness as the sound frequencies surpass the intellectual part of the brain before travelling to the core of the bodies cellular system where the healing qualities can be fully absorbed.

Available from mid August. These are available from Micheal's website for you to purchase for friends and family, through Gift Up. But also for others to buy for you, for your special day, christmass, birthdays etc or as a thank you, and even for companies to send to their employees, showing that they are valued and appreciated.

"Total relaxation, in a very relaxing environment. The class enables you to switch off your mind completely (which is something not to be underestimated in these times). Immediately after the class my whole body felt invigorated, and my persona and general outlook on life was so much more sunny and bright for the weeks that followed. I felt that the class was a complete cleansing experience of my mind, body and soul and I would highly recommend it to everyone to give it a go." J.B. Newcastle Upon Tyne.

What a total chill out. I wouldn't have believed I could have relaxed to this degree. N.S. Bedlington, Northumberland.

My body felt as if was floating away, but in a nice way. Then my ear popped and it was if all my stress came out in one go, I felt great after that. D.C. South Shields. Tyne and Wear.

What an experience, I have meditated and practised yoga for years, but I wasn't prepared for this. It totally blew me away. K.W. Morpeth, Northumberland.

I came with my friend, and we were both a little sceptical at first, but as the session progressed my mind just drifted away to somewhere else. It certainly exceeded all my expectations. My friend said she has never felt so relaxed. We will both be back. H.T. Fenham, Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Earlier this year I lost my connection and faith after my father passed away, and I hoped this session would somehow re-connect me, and restore my faith. It did, thank you so much Michael, I couldn't have asked for more. P.D. Felling, Gateshead.

I attended Michael’s gong bath session at Seaton Sluice. I’ve done gong and sound baths before but this was my best experience yet. If you’ve not tried it before I would definitely recommend, it’s very relaxing and hard to put into words how it makes you feel. Perfect start to a Saturday. A.S Newcastle

Michael is a great therapist. He is warm, friendly and above all, professional. I had a taste of my first ever Gong Bath yesterday. No water or nudity is involved! I lay on a couch feeling comfortable and secure while Michael created the most amazing healing sounds using a single Gong. I was transported to a place of bliss carried on the wings of the sound vibration. A very relaxing session came to an end and I needed some time to feel grounded again. Michael made me a cup of soothing herbal tea and I gradually returned to the land of living. I would highly recommend a session of Gong Bath therapy with Michael Fothergill R.S-A Newcastle Upon Tyne

Couldn’t agree more I too felt uplifted and energised following this session Would recommend this man without hesitation. His sound gong session was amazing and I can’t wait for the next one. C.W Stanley Co Durham

Its was lovely to see Michael today, had a gong bath treatment. I wasnt too sure what to expect, it was relaxing, through out the treatment. I suffer with slight back pain and has been on going for a while. I have found since having the gong bath my back feels so much better, i am so chilled. I would definitely recommend trying this. The experience is lovely and will be having more gong baths. Thank you Michael T.L Northumberland

The sound bath on Saturday was an amazing experience. So calming I was chilled out for the rest of the day. I will definitely be going again. L.F Northumberland
