The sound of a gong helps the brain reach deep relaxation – specifically the delta and theta brain wave states, which are the slowest brain waves in humans. We tend to reach these states during daydreaming or deep sleep, and they are known to aid relaxation, creativity and natural healing.
Gong baths are highly rejuvenating for the body and bring about an overall sense of relaxation, which can reduce stress as well as help develop a better ability to cope with stress, help move emotional blockages from trauma, and even stimulate altered states of consciousness.
During a sound bath, you will shift first into this state before moving into the theta brain wave state. Alpha brain waves are some of the most easily observed and were the first to be discovered. They become detectable when the eyes are closed and the mind is relaxed.
A gong bath is an opportunity to connect deeply with yourself. You lie down on a comfortable mat, close your eyes and let the beautiful and unique sounds of gong wash over you. You are transported into a quiet space of sensitivity and inspiration.
Benefits of a sound bath include relaxation, stress reduction, and improved sleep.
Practitioners say that the benefits of sound baths include:
- Deepening relaxation
- Lowering stress and anxiety
- Improving mood and well-being
- Improving sleep
- Heightening focus and energy
- A feeling of rejuvenation
## Gong Master, Sound Therapist and Yoga Teacher
For many years Ivan Hochstrasser has been working with sound, vibrations and their effect on us humans. He found the gong to be the best instrument to reach people with frequencies. Gongs are his passion, which he plays and teaches with heart and soul. He came to the gong through yoga, which he has been practicing and teaching for about 18 years.
Ivan works with old and new methods and technologies to optimize life, body, brain and inner attitude. This includes sound therapy, process facilitation, energy work and health.
Since 2016 he plays gong sound healings, gong sound meditations and gong nights. His teachers Mark Swan, Don Conraux, Jens Zygar and Alexander Renner trained him for several years. From this grew the core of his activities as a gong sound musician, sound therapist, gong teacher and his Shop Gong Center.
Ivan's mission is to bring people back into connection with themselves, to regenerate and transform. He succeeds in doing this for the family man, the businesswoman, the yogi and the therapist - with the gong.
Ivan brings people back to their life energy and inner depth. With his gong he touches the hearts of the participants and lets them relax deeply within minutes. He literally lets them dive into their own being, giving them the long lost peace.
Ivan gives workshops, accompanies people in sound therapy, energetic treatments and team trainings. The gong is always with him.
