Sunday September 1 (8:30-1:30 pm)

Course Price: $495

Experience how to use the sound of the Gong therapeutically through deep relaxation to facilitate transformation and healing in both groups and individuals.

Mehtab Benton, the originator of Gong Yoga and author of Gong Therapy, brings a unique perspective to using the gong in deep relaxation by introducing new gong playing techniques and patterns with the ancient practices of Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep). 

In this certified training course with Mehtab, you will:

• Discover how to use the sound of the gong to sustain an extended period of relaxation
• Learn playing techniques and patterns that activate the parasympathetic nervous system
• Understand how to create effective guided visualizations and meditation scripts for Gong Nidra sessions to address specific health issues and conditions 
• Know the important preparation techniques essential for a profoundly deep gong relaxation
• Learn how to work with the physical, energetic, and emotional body through the use of the gong
• Discover how to guide in the formulation of a “sankalpa” or healing intention for the session
• Learn how the holistic practice of Gong Nidra brings an active and self-directed healing process to deep relaxation 

Mehtab will incorporate text from his forthcoming book, Gong Nidra: Healing through Relaxation and Sound, throughout this course.
