The Basics of Gong Healing

This course reframes gong performance through the lens of music theory and somatic awareness. We cover ten planetary gongs—Eclipse, Sun, Earth variants, Sedna, Nibiru, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus—and explore how each voice affects different energetic centers. Players learn to treat gongs as extensions of their emotional body, keeping grip tension, breathing, and proximity aligned with the desired outcome. You will work through single strikes, patterned phrases, and continuous wave techniques, all while mapping low, mid, and high zones on the gong surface. The training also catalogs mallet sizing, materials, and grip adjustments so you can dial in dynamics without fatigue. Practice prompts encourage daily play, emotional journaling, and tone association exercises to translate personal breakthroughs into client experiences.
