Sacred Sound for Healing
Created and run by Peter Whitehart.
Sound Gong Bath provides regular gong baths meditations for groups of people at public venues in the South West of England.
A gong bath is a very relaxing and blissful experience. The term "gong bath" means that you are bathed in sound waves, there are no clothes removed or water involved, You lie down on your back with your eyes closed and a blanket and pillow for your comfort. The gongs are played in a therapeutic way with no set rhythm which results in the brain not being able to follow and then surrendering completely. It's then that the gongs will transport you to a hypnotic and meditative state which will be a peaceful state away from daily worries and where healing can occur.
The whole treatment lasts an hour, or sometimes longer.

A Brief History
Peter began his exploration of alternative therapies back in 2008 when he trained in Reiki; First, Second and Master with Colin John, a Reiki teacher in Exeter.
He then had a great desire to try other therapies and undertook several courses with Gladden therapy training in Tewksbury Gloucestershire: Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) level one and EFT level two; Chakra Therapy; Hopi Ear Candle Practitioner's Diploma; Crystal Massage Therapy; and Angel Therapy.
In August 2009 Peter attended a basic tuning fork course in Minsterworth, Gloucestershire with Sheila Hill from The School for Inner Sound. It was during this course that he realized that sound therapy was the most appropriate form of therapy that worked for him.
He then attended the advanced tuning fork course in August 2010. From January 2010 to December 2010 Peter trained with the British Academy of Sound Therapy at Chichester University Bognor Regis, undertaking the Certificate Course in Sound Therapy which included gong therapy, drum therapy and tuning fork therapy. Peter attended two further workshops during 2010.
