RYK Yoga & Meditation Center, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, has many classes for everyone! Sound healing is a technique in which musical frequencies and tones are used in physical, mental and spiritual healing. This takes you on a journey of sound healing and relaxes your mind and body. A specialty class we offer at our yoga & meditation studio is Live Gong Meditation!

Gong meditation is a unique type of sound practice that involves using therapeutic gong sounds and vibrations to bring about healing.

The Gong is a symbol of the spirit, a sacred threshold, a portal that links the finite and the infinite experience of the self. It represents the initial stillness and potential of creation.

The goal of “Gong meditation” is usually therapeutic, whereas mindfulness meditation has many therapeutic benefits, but it’s a deeper goal is awareness and non-judgmental appreciation of the present moment. A true place of relaxation!

This practice is also sometimes referred to as a “gong bath” because participants are “bathed” in meditation gong sound waves. From smaller to large gongs, each sound and vibration calms the mind.

The treatments are based on the understanding that all forms of matter – including our body’s cells – vibrate at different frequencies. Factors such as stress, depression and disease cause cells and organs within our bodies to vibrate at non-optimal frequencies.

Once the gong playing is complete, there are a few minutes of silence.

This is a time of deep relaxation and expansion, where transformation and healing occur. This quiet time allows the listeners to receive the information that is most beneficial to them.

We encourage you to join us for an amazing Gong experience! You can even take home the gong with you, Cosmin’s recording of Gone with the Gong is available as a CD in our store or online where you purchase music.
