The Gong of Jens – The Art of Soothing Life

Relaxation and harmonization through the sound of gongs by Jens Geese.

What is a gong?

The sound of the gong has been used for hundreds of years in various Asian cultures and has found its place in different meditation and therapy methods in Western societies. A gong is not a musical instrument in the traditional sense but rather an inter-vibratory system. Its sound is created through resonances and the overlapping of tones and vibrations — like playing a multitude of strings at the same time.

All gongs I use are high-quality instruments made by specialists in Germany.

What is a gong bath?

A gong session is a sound meditation that lasts about one hour. No prior knowledge or physical preparation is required.

Usually, I begin the session with breathing techniques to prepare participants mentally and physically for relaxation and to help them benefit as much as possible.

After this preparation, participants lie comfortably on their yoga mats or another pleasant place where they can lie down and relax. For those who get cold easily, a scarf or blanket is recommended.

Then the sound journey begins.
During this journey, I use two or three gongs, as well as singing crystal bowls and a handpan. Each instrument has its own frequency and vibration. Thanks to the special vibrations and sounds of the gong, participants are gently guided into a state of deep relaxation. This state arises spontaneously and effortlessly, as the mind, realizing that it cannot follow all the rich and varied sound stimuli, suddenly becomes still.

The sound of the gong is not comparable to music. There is nothing familiar to relate it to. This unique experience helps calm the mind and the body’s physiological rhythms — leading to deep relaxation.

At the end of the sound journey, participants gently awaken and gradually reconnect with their senses (touch, breathing, hearing, vision…). This moment is important to integrate the always special experience.

The effects of a gong sound journey

First, the relaxed body creates a general sense of well-being, as if all parts were “regenerated.”
The gong can also have holistic positive effects beyond deep relaxation. It can help release emotional and physical tension and stimulate the skin, organs, and bones.

The many gong sessions I have offered over the years have shown me that no one remains unaffected. Even participants who are skeptical about meditation at first are usually surprised by the positive effect of the gong.

Gong sound journeys are suitable for people from 9 to 99 years old — and even beyond!
They are also suitable for children under 9, but the sound journey must then be designed differently than for adults.
If you come with children under 9, please make sure they truly want to participate, as not all children enjoy staying still and listening for 30–45 minutes. ;-)

Gong baths are not suitable for children under 9 years old.

Allow yourself to experience something new.

About Jens Geese

I have been a passionate gong artist and trainer for over eight years. It all began in Germany, but for my personal depth and style in the art of gong, I became deeply inspired by La Réunion starting in 2018.

My long experience, passion, and empathy allow me to touch people deeply with my gong art and offer them an interactive sound experience.
Interactive because the art and sound of the gong are always inspired by the personality of the listeners — just as a painter is inspired by a beautiful landscape for their artwork.

I share my art of the gong in group sessions, yoga classes, individual sessions, workshops, and cultural events for children, adults, seniors, and people with disabilities.

I look forward to welcoming you to one of my many events and sharing an extraordinary moment with you.

See you soon
Jens Geese
