Amazing acoustics and an enthusiastic selction of the british public made this a great event for all concerned. My heartfelt thanks to Jagat Joti and Rosie from the Tate Britain staff.

Planet Gongs

I work exclusively with Paiste Planet Gongs. I have 12 Gongs, one for each of the major Planets in our Solar System,  one Moon Gong and a newly acquired Chiron Gong. Each Planet Gong has been tuned at the Paiste factory in Switzerland to an exact frequency/pitch or resonance. This Planetary frequency/pitch system was formulated by Hans Cousto the Swiss scientist whose seminal work ‘The Cosmic Octave’ is the basis for Sound Healers the World over.

Why and how does each Gong sound like a Planet?

Cousto devised formulae which enables us to ‘hear’ each planet energetically. My Earth Gong, for instance, is tuned to 136.10Hz. Summing up his formulae it’s calculated thus; first the year is broken down into seconds. A day has 86,400 seconds, and a year has 365.24 days. Multiple the days by the seconds and this answer will be 31,556,925.9747 seconds. The reciprocal value of this number can now be calculated, using the 1/x function on a pocket calculator and the result multiplied by two 32 times. The frequency will be 136 hertz. If you are interested in the more formal version of the above workings and this amazing science I strongly suggest you read ‘The Cosmic Octave’. 

How will a planet gong benefit me during my gong bath?

While having a Gong bath you will tune in on many conscious and unconscious levels. If the Planet of your birth is ‘strong’ in an astrological sense at the time of your treatment then you will greatly benefit energetically from that Planet Gong. I have been told by clients that an hour long Gong Bath is equivalent to six years therapy, and usually without the tears.

Most people experience feelings and thoughts that they have never had before. Sensations akin to out of body experiences are common. A Gong bath is a magical journey for the body, mind and Soul. Rejuvenating and cleansing.
