Heart of Gong aims to provide high-quality meditation experience for school students, teachers and parents, as well as institutions and groups at designated locations. Therefore, most of the participants in my class, many of whom are new to sound healing. Some of them have heard of sound healing, but they all know little about it, or they have no clue or never heard of gong meditation. A student participant once started his sharing with "It's the first time I participated in gong meditation and I thought it would be very noisy."
 
The student mentioned above continued to share, "It turned out that everyone lay comfortably on the ground, closed their eyes, and then felt the sound of gong for the first time. The sound of gong made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. It turns out that the sound of gong is very subtle, and every vibration makes me feel the relaxation I haven't tried for a long time.” Some other students said: “Emotional, psychological, and physical body can be relaxed; stress is relieved, and the brain can rest. The whole process is very comfortable.”, "Gong meditation can relax my mind and allow me to escape the pressure of studies temporarily. I didn't enjoy the sound of gong at first, but I gradually got used to it and felt very comfortable."
 
So how do adults feel? "I really like gong meditation. I can relax my body and mind.  Love the session about have knowledge explanations.", "I can really relax and fall asleep quickly.", "Gong meditation reminds me of the first time I went to the Space Museum when I was a child. The sound of gong seems to take me on a trip to the universe.”
 
All of the above are feedback that impresses me deeply.
 
Everything has two sides.  Some people like it and some people don't like it. I remember once holding a gong meditation at a school, one of which was for non-teaching staff. One of the participants told me after the activity that she didn't like it. I asked her why she didn't like it. She didn't say the reason but asked me whether gong meditation was related to religious activities. I wasn't surprised at all at the time. I didn't answer directly, but instead asked her what religious activities she thought? I understand that many people think that the musical instruments used in meditation are religious, such as singing bowls, but I personally think that even if religious activities are expressed using certain musical instruments or in a certain way, that instrument or expression itself is not necessarily related to religion. For example, if a certain religion mostly expresses worship to God in form of singing with a piano, does that mean that singing and piano are religious? The same is true for gong meditation. Not to mention whether gongs are religious or not (I will share more about gongs in future articles), playing gongs and listening to the sound of gongs does not involve religion.
 
For me, there is no one person or thing in the world that everyone likes, so whether the participants like gong meditation or not, I completely understand. As long as their feedback is authentic and they are willing to share, I really appreciate it.  Therefore, I would like to thank every participant who shared their feedback with me.
