For beginners and experienced gong players – come, learn and be inspired by Bjørn Løken’s way of treating the gong as a living being, a co-creator and co-healer. Learn how to play in a way that brings out the best healing qualities in the gong!The gong has been used for many thousands of years to heal a number of illnesses in people and animals. In order to give the gong a chance to do its best as a healer together with you, you need to master different kinds of strokes, dynamics and rhythmics. In this course you learn about (or deepen) your knowledge of different playing techniques. You also learn to use musical effects in the gong playing (or expand the ability you already have) in order to affect and balance body, mind and soul.
When you master different techniques, use your musicality when you play, put yourself in neutral mind and set a clear intention – you and the gong become one and you can accomplish the most amazing things together! When the technique is there, you can follow your intuition when you play without having to think of HOW you play. Many people say “I don’t need to know about techniques, I just play intuitively” but the lack of techniques will limit the way you can express your intuition. You also miss the aspect of bringing out the best healing qualities of the gong to let it do its very utmost as a healer.
The course includes both theory and practice. You will practice different playing techniques and get feedback from Bjørn and listen to the others when they play and learn through that. Bjørn will give a couple of Gongbaths as well, one when you can sit and watch and one when you can lie down if you wish and drift far away and let the frequencies balance you.
Bjørn will also talk about and show how to combine different kinds of gongs and how to combine the gong(s) with crystal instruments. Moreover he will talk about and illustrate briefly how you can use the Gong in Yoga or Qi Gong exercises and other forms for movement therapy.
At the end of the course you will create a short Gongbath yourself and get constructive feedback from Bjørn and your course mates.
Warmly welcome to deeply healing Gongdays together!
