Stress lowers vibration resulting in imbalance or dis-ease. However, the pure and powerful harmonics of the gongs soothe and slow your busy mind into a meditative state while their vibrations gently restore resonance and harmony throughout your physical and non-physical body. This is called ‘entrainment’ and enables your vibrations to rise, boosting your immune system and preventing disease. Deeply restorative and rejuvenating, by the end you’ll feel beautifully calm and relaxed.
Sound baths with gongs are an effortless, immediate and effective way to achieve deep relaxation. All you have to do is lie or sit back in warmth and comfort to enjoy the healing sounds of these magnificent instruments.
As you relax, you are bathed in the sounds washing over you - raising your emotional frequency. Gong Baths can be enjoyed by all and are of value to everyone. Sessions are led by Alexandra Simson and can be tailor-made to suit the needs of either a group or an individual.
This Paiste 38" Symphonic was my first gong. ‘She’ possesses rich, deep sounds which are gentle, powerful and of a cosmic nature. The Queen’s sound tends to ‘mushroom’ due to her size and the tensions in the metal, and offers a huge range of complex harmonics and overtones which build up when played. This is a wonderful, healing gong – the matriarch of Sound-Well’s gong family!
Deep and mysterious this fabulous 36" Broder Oetken gong connects us deeply to the resonance of the Earth. It's sound is generous building quickly into a wave. A very grounding gong, its sound connects us with the Earth and all of nature.
This 32" Sun gong has a distinct sound that is responsive enough to produce rich overtones with an enormously wide range of volume. The sound is grounding, whilst at the same time melodic and complex with an organic quality well suited to sound healing sessions.

A wonderful healing instrument, this 32" gong made by Paiste also supports good communication, clarity, understanding and self expression. It's light and lively sound compliments most if not all this Gong family and especially the depths of the Queen and Pluto gongs.

This 36" Paiste gong helps to transform energy and situations. It’s a powerful, lively, generous gong that assists with the integration of new ways of being. Played at times of deep transformation in our lives, it represents the journey of the Phoenix and death of that which no longer serves our highest good. I've been playing the Pluto gong for several years, and it has helped me to grow and connect to a profound sense of personal Truth. It is also associated with Kundalini awakening.
Chakra: Root / Solar Plexus
Made from recycled antique singing bowls this 40" gong is magnificent. Inscribed with the sacred mantra 'Om mani padme hum' her song helps transform impurities within the body, speech, and mind. Her sound is like that of an immense cosmic wind, powerful and cleansing. Her sound opens you up to insights and epiphanies. The largest of my gong family she rarely leaves my Sound Healing room, and is always included in an individual gong bath.
This 32" Paiste gong helps to access and transform some of our deepest wounds. His ethereal song soothes whilst often revealing clarity and meaning amidst any turmoil or pain. In modern astrology, Chiron is the Wounded Healer and represents the deep karmic wounds we have endured over time.

This was the first gong I connected with whilst training with Gong Master, Sheila Whittaker. A generous 34" Symphonic gong, I’ve always been impressed by her warm and lively tones. Like all the larger Symphonic gongs, this is a powerful healing gong which entrains well with the ‘Queen’ and Mercury gongs producing extra low frequencies (ELF's) which help to slow and lower our brain waves into a meditative state.
The 24" Neptune gong is the mystic and the visionary, representing unity consciousness and the element, Water.

This is a lovely smaller 20" gong which I love to play over people during a personal one-to-one gong bath. In spite of its smaller size, this gong has powerful healing vibrations which can be felt throughout and at different points in the body depending on the sensitivity of the individual. This is particularly helpful if someone is experiencing discomfort in a specific part of the physical body.
This particular gong is an homage to the element of Water. Many if not most of the online gong baths include this lovely 16" Broder Oetken gonglet. It brings a bright cleansing sound amidst the depth of the larger gongs and when played softly, the vibrations flow in a swirling soothing manner, bubbling and cleansing just as water does, creating a calm, winding sound-scape.
The Saturn 32" gong helps us to establish healthy boundaries and forges us in the outer fire of discipline and focus. Saturn creates and promotes perseverance and integrity. Its qualities are stability, patience, structure, self-discipline and protection.

This small 11" gong has a lasting, harmonic, penetrating and centering tone – its colour is bright as it penetrates and influences the skull as well as the forehead, nasal cavities, and sinuses. It is played at every gong bath and has a sacred chime that honours the Sacred Space created by the the gongs.
Chakra: Crown
This beautiful 36” gong made by Meinl is the newest member of the family. The Flower of Life tuning represents the origin of all things through sacred geometry. Its unique frequencies help you connect to and understand yourself. Sacred geometry is the collaboration of numbers, shapes, and vibration and belongs to the oldest myths and therefore this unique gong is the sonic metaphor of the creative primordial sound.

"I love to get really close to the gongs and to feel the sound and vibrations. The best one for me is 1:1. I've found it very therapeutic as the sound waves bypass the brain and go straight to the heart."
