Immerse yourself in the transformative synergy of gong meditation under the new moon—a practice that supports profound rest, introspection, and creative manifestation. Marking the beginning of a moon phase, new moon energy is often nurturing and restful as it asks us to set our intentions for the coming 28 days.
Here’s why a gong meditation might be right for you.
1. Restful Brain States & Deep Relaxation*
The gong’s rich, resonant tones guide your brainwaves into slower, more meditative frequencies—such as theta and delta—promoting deep mental rest, memory consolidation, and emotional release. With one stroke of the gong it’s like being in a deep state of sleep while being awake—we’ve got sleep data that shows this. ☺️
2. Mood, Tension, & Physiological Relief
Participants routinely experience significant reductions in stress, tension, fatigue, and depressed mood. Physically, the sound supports healthier heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rhythms—easing into a state of calm. Because of the way the gongs help bring the brain waves into a sleep-like / meditative pattern, the mind stuff (thoughts) is frequently released and areas of the body holding tension may feel their own releases as well. This is a part of the body’s natural balancing process.
3. Mind-Body Integration & Resilience
Meditative practices like gong immersion have been linked to brain changes in areas responsible for attention, emotional regulation, memory, and self-awareness. Even brief sessions can enhance emotional balance, and ongoing practice supports long-term mental resilience. Gong meditations also may help with sleep.
4. Renewal & Intention-Setting
Held during the new moon—a symbol of fresh starts—this meditation becomes a powerful conduit for intentions. In the moon’s darkness, you are invited to pause, reflect, and plant the seeds for what you truly wish to cultivate in your life. During a new moon gong meditation, because it is an nurturing energy, you tend to float in a state of almost consciousness where you are accessing both the conscious and subconscious mind. Intentions set in this mind state become faster and easier to see life changes around.
5. Unique, Intuitive Experience
Each session is uniquely tuned to the energy of the group. As we settle into the experience together, some may feel physical releases, others receive deep insight or creative clarity. This intuitive responsiveness makes every meditation different and a personal journey of transformation.
This group is capped at 8, a number of great significance for transformative self-growth.
