MORE ABOUT THE GONG

The Gong is the only tool known to men that can bring you from Beta (awake state, analytical thinking) to Theta (lucid dreams, hypnosis, deep meditation) in few seconds.
In Theta your body and muscles are completely relaxed, your internal organs and immune system operate effectively, your heart beat, respiration and blood pressure slow down and you wake up rejuvenated, renewed and refreshed.
This is the state when healing takes place, stress is melted away, worries have vanished.
In Theta you are able to access your subconscious mind and change for good the beliefs and patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you.

The gong is a very powerful tool that changes our consciousness.
It brings you effortlessly to a state of meditation by quieting your internal dialog.

During a Gong bath you are lying down covered by a warm blanket and bathing in the sounds of Creation, the sounds of Eternity.

The vibrations are travelling through your entire body from head to toe which is very relaxing and soothing.

After a Gong bath you open up and experience a deeper connection to yourself. You get more clarity. You expand into a place of love and truth within yourself.

MORE ABOUT MEM GONG YOGA

MEM= Muscles, Emotions, Meridians

MEM Gong Yoga is a combination of breathing exercises, body movement, intention and sound to release old patterns and emotions that reside on our bodies.

After a series of body movements that activate specific muscles and meridians we lay down for a Gong bath.

MEM GONG YOGA focuses on 39 Muscles; each one of them linked to one of the 12 main Meridians and the Emotions that they hold. By bringing in the breath, movement, intention, sound and affirmations, we release stuck emotions, congested energy and old patterns stored in our bodies promoting health, wellbeing and inner peace.

MEM Gong Yoga is a yoga practice created by Gong Grandmaster and Kundalini Yoga Teacher Don Conreaux. He was one of the first students of Yogi Bhajan being introduced to the gong.

It is yoga of self-responsibility to feel and focus and decide yourself the way to adapt it due to your needs.
The exercises can be adapted to sitting, lying and standing positions.

It is a yoga that teaches you how to come to full presence.

It is a yoga of creativity and oneness.

MORE ABOUT GONG PUJA

The Gong Puja is a sacred celebration and sound meditation, developed by Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux. The Gong Puja lasts 7 ½ hours which is the equivalent of 10 x 45 minute gong baths.

It is believed that 45 minutes is the time taken to complete a full sound journey. This is based on Swiss mathematician and musicologist Hans Cousto’s research into planetary frequencies which are those used in the planetary gongs today.

Yogi Bhajan believed that the Gong was the most powerful tool for healing. He taught that the 45 minute gong session would clear any immediate blocks and that 10 sessions would clear most blocks.

Gong Puja gives you 10 consecutive 45 minute gong sound immersions. During the puja we sleep through the night into the early morning bathed in the healing sound vibrations.

The gentle and aware gong play will cradle you into deep brain waves of alpha, theta, delta to totally relax your body-mind-system for restoration, rejuvenation, transformation, cleansing and deep tension release on all levels in order to prosper again. Further effects can be the strengthening of your immune system and nervous system.
The effect of the gongs sound wave on our brain is able to reduce and slow down the amount and uncontrolled flow of thoughts and moves the water in our cells for cleansing and rinsing. This can open the door to healing processes and transformation.

At the very entrance of the bay, it feels like you are entering into some land Far Far Away, just waiting for some nymphs or sirens to jump out of water and salute you. It resembles a dreamy, remote harbour, guarded by mountains, where magic happens…

I feel very grateful for the sound healing by Natalia, she creates a very safe, relaxing atmosphere with her calming voice and soft presence for the frequencies to enter the body cells and to help to release the pain we carry. I experienced a beautiful shift after the session and she even helped me to gain more self awareness and insight into how I could embrace my inner child more. I felt very blessed to receive this experience, thank you Natalia for sharing your amazing, gentle healing gift with us! Love

Aside from relaxation and healing, this can easily become a very transformative experience. It doesn’t even require you to practice yoga, just to be acquainted with the basic techniques of breathing, since the sound and vibration does a lot. Let the sound of the bowls and Natalia’s soft voice guide you through the experience and you’ll be able to stop the rain using your thoughts

I am very glad I booked a session with Natalia a couple of months ago. Hearing and feeling the healing sounds of the bowls was an amazing experience, relaxing and quite sacred. It is a great gift that she is sharing with us. I highly recommend experiencing it and whilst writing about it now I am feeling the urge to book a session with her once again. Her presence and non-rushed approach, taking the time to talk a little before and after the session, are also very helpful and you manage to feel very relaxed around her. A very positive experience.       Laura Brown

Raw Mama Nature was chefe de cuisine for MEM Gong Yoga Training 2019 in Montenegro. The way she chooses the eco, integral products and the way she prepares and serves the food is amazing spirit! The taste is just delicious and very vital and energizing and sooo beautiful and soft like her nature! Looking forward to my next visit and the next Raw Mama Nature Buffet! Highly recommended

The night of the gongs….touched me deeply. The sound of the gongs have something very archaic and I was able to surrender completely. For that the team of gong players with Alexandra Ott have such beautiful energy and this gave me a secure feeling of letting go of everything and to feel being in safest possible hands. I had 2 very meaningful and intense dreams and I love to alternate between states of waking from sleep, sleeping and dreaming. I am looking forward to next gong puja because there is so much still to discover….

Dear, Alexandra – Guardian of the silence

I attended an All Night Long Gong Puja and since that night I wish to write you and say thank you for this ONE SOUND which since that has been resonating within me.

It was so soft, so gentle, so mysterious deep that I got the feeling the whole universe is within this one sound and takes me in……it was a miracle…..

Thank you for this deeply touching work you do!

Dear Alexandra,

I would love to thank you once again from the bottom of my heart for the great sound experience and to witness it myself and to feel it. Since that day I can feel myself again. This has not been able for me in this way for a long time. I feel I got my power back and I feel very clear. Not for a long time I have felt as good as I do now. THANK YOU!
