Embark on a rhythmic journey to the inner shore. A "Spirit of the Sea" experience blending Ocean Drums, Gongs, and Reiki for deep peace.

Ocean Surf Drum & Gong Bath - Spirit of the Sea

Just as the tides are governed by the celestial pull of the moon, our bodies—composed of nearly 70% water—are deeply rhythmic. Join Michael at his dedicated Gong Studio for a "Spirit of the Sea" session: a psycho-acoustic immersion designed to wash away the hectic grid of modern life and return you to your natural, fluid state of being.

The White Sound of the Ocean

In this session, Michael utilises the Ocean Drum, an exquisite instrument that replicates the mesmerising sounds of rolling and crashing waves. This creates what physicists call White Sound.This broad-frequency sound works to:

Cleanse the Body, Like a physical tide, the vibrations flow through and saturate your cells, breaking down blocked, stagnant energy.

Soothe the Brain: The rhythmic "surf" encourages your brainwaves to transition from active Beta into the deep, restorative states of Theta and Delta. These altered states of consciousness are well researched and are shown to trigger the release of several happy hormones and chemicals by the brain to reduce tension and stress, improve blood pressure, elevate our moods, calming our minds, whilst promoting healing and wellbeing and reducing pain.. Coupled with our increased vibrational rate help connect us to our higher selves and even the universe.

Your Journey Through the Tides

Your experience begins with the gentle sparkle of Koshi Air Chimes and Sea Shell Chimes, followed by a specific, modified Deep Belly Breathwork technique. This advanced breathing removes more CO2 and stale energy than any other method, preparing your nervous system for the deep immersion to come.

As the Chau and Wind Gongs rise like a powerful tide, you will find yourself in a daydream state—safely anchored, yet miles away from the hustle of the world.

The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” Carl Sagan

And after the session, as you slowly come back down to Earth, your body will be waiting for you, but it will feel different. Less Stressed, More Calm,Balanced, Uplifted and Energised. Most people say they feel lighter, and happier, having Sensed and Felt the Warmth and Love of the Universe.

Preparation

If you have not experienced a Gong Bath before don’t worry, and even with this Ocean Surf event there is no ‘getting wet’. The term ‘bath’ relates to you being ‘bathed’ in sound waves. A Gong Bath is a very unique experience where it can feel different each time, and also different for everyone present.

What to Bring. Wear warm, loose-fitting clothes. Whether you choose a chaise longue, a recliner, or a yoga mat, you are invited to "unplug" and simply be.

Blankets, cushions, eye masks, yoga mats and filtered or bottled water are all available, with nothing for you to bring except yourself, a smile and an open heart.

The Unfolding Journey of Sound & Spirit

Under Michael's expert guidance, your session is a deliberate journey into profound healing and deep rest.

The Descent into Alpha

The journey begins with Michael setting a sacred intention. You will be guided into specific, rhythmic deep breathing, a by stimulating the Vagus nerve and calming your nervous system.

"Closing our eyes & Slowing our breathing down is a free ticket to an Altered state of consciousness" (New Scientist May 22 .2021 p. 37)

Holding your eyes closed, your brainwaves begin to slow (shifting from Beta to Alpha). You will receive Reiki-charged crystals for continuous energy healing and vibration elevation, followed by a short Qigong Inner Smile meditation to direct healing energy to your chakras.

The Core Transformation: Theta & Delta

As the Drum's primal rhythm and the Om chanting commence, your consciousness shifts into the deep Theta and Delta states—the very realm where the body’s true healing begins and the conscious mind takes its rest.

Your body’s vibration will rise to match the powerful frequencies of the Gongs, Drums, Crystals, Reiki, and Om chanting, acting as a catalyst to release trapped, stagnant, negative energy.

Experience deep calmness, nervous system soothing, and a strengthening of your energetic and immune systems.

Many embark on a unique, internal "journey," sensing a profound connection with the Unconditional Love and Peace of the Universe.

The Sacred Silence

The experience culminates as the sound recedes, leaving a charged Sacred Silence. This intense, resonant void is where the healing power is at its peak. Michael anchors this high vibrational energy with a reflective poem.

You will return transformed: less stressed, deeply calm, energized, and noticeably lighter, often carrying the lasting echo of the Universe's profound, unconditional love.

Congratulations—you have now been Drummed & Gonged.
