Album Notes

Simple gong mantras have been used for centuries as a way to relax the mind and focus awareness during times of meditation and prayer. This is a one hour recording of four large gongs being played in a continuous rhythmic pattern. Every 15 minutes one of the four gongs drops out subtly making the listener aware of 15 minute time intervals and slowly drawing the listener into a deeper and more relaxed state of being.

This recording was intended as a facilitation tool for Meditation, Massage, Tai Chi and Qi Gong, Pilates, Kama Sutra, Reiki and Yoga. The track marks are perfect to use as a subtle timer. For example,if you are doing a 45 minute massage, start on track 2, for a 15 minute Tai Chi warm-up, begin on track 4. If you want to loose yourself for an hour of yoga or meditation without worrying about what time it is getting to be, just put on the CD and when the last gong strikes the hour has gone by with out any chimes or alarm.

These gongs are between 24" and 32" in diameter and have beautiful low voicings and entrancing harmonics. It's the perfect way to drift off to the dream state. If you occasionally suffer from insomnia or can't put aside your daily stressors at bedtime, this is one of the few CD's out there that is proud to say that "it is guarenteed to put you to sleep".
