Gong Bath with Clare Potts
I am a qualified Gong Practitioner and I have been playing for six years. The International Therapeutic Sound Association and British Register of Complementary Practitioners recognise my qualification.
I originally trained in Fine Art, receiving a degree in painting and printmaking at Chelsea School of Art and subsequently a Master’s degree at The Slade in printmaking. My path toward being a sound therapist was long and winding from that point, but I wanted to find a means of being creative that could have a direct and positive impact on wellbeing. Once I had personally experienced a Gong Bath, after a serious health event and major surgery, I knew that this was my channel. I have since been privileged to provide this form of meditation, relaxation and healing.
A Gong Bath does not involve getting into water and is experienced fully dressed. All that you need to do is relax on a yoga mat with a cushion under your head and allow yourself to drift along into a journey that the sound will invite you to join. It is a deeply relaxing, healing and elemental experience which is usually quite surprising the first time and very beneficial to those who regularly attend. Participants describe it as sound which is internal as well as external. The harmonics are wide, with complex overtones.
It is not suitable for everyone, such as if you have any of the following:
a severe mental health issue (it is fine with a level of anxiety)
a serious heart condition or pacemaker
sound induced epilepsy
a sound sensitive condition (a degree of tinnitus is OK)
Meniere’s Disease
a recent metal implant (not including contraceptive coils)
not advised if you are pregnant
If you have any queries please feel free to get in touch.
I hope to see you soon.
