Family gong baths are the perfect way to introduce your children to the vibrations of the gongs. Children find them fascinating, with every child reacting in a different way. Many are mesmerised into a calm and peaceful state, often focused on a point within the room or towards the gongs, surprising parents how easily they manage to tune in and relax. Some children prefer to sit and watch, rather than lay down. Some come for a deep nap. Some can feel social and begin to hold hands or hug those around them as they start to feel safe and calm. I believe it is very important to connect with these basic feelings and so the sessions will be offered with an understanding that some movement and noise may occur and be needed to enable the young ones to settle, relax and feel the benefits. Family gong baths are not suitable for children who cannot yet communicate their comfort, with a guide for attendance being aged 6+.

Please bring mats to lay on, blankets and pillows to stay warm and comfortable. You may wish to bring chairs or loungers too. Children may wish to bring their own cuddly toys, so that they have something grounding and comforting to keep with them. The lights will be dimmed, with fairy lights and other light displays possibly used to help encourage relaxation. Eye masks may also help. Comfort is important, so bring whatever will be needed for you and your family. Please see Gong Bath FAQs for more details of what to bring.

Important notice

Taking part in gong baths is generally considered safe for most people, regardless of age or fitness level. However, considerations should be taken for the following people:

  • Mental health conditions - People with severe mental health conditions, such as paranoid schizophrenia, severe personality disorder, or psychosis, should not participate in gong baths. If you have PTSD or trauma that may need to be considered, please also make contact so that we can discuss any further support needed.

  • Pregnancy - Individuals who are pregnant in the first trimester should not participate in gong baths. Caution should also be taken during other trimesters as studies have not been undertaken on pregnant women. If you are pregnant and want to participate, please talk with a healthcare professional to make sure they’re a safe option for you and then let me know of any considerations that need to be followed.

  • Epilepsy or seizures - People with epilepsy or a history of seizures should not participate in gong baths.

  • Hearing impairments - People with hearing impairments may still be able to participate in a gong bath, but the experience may not be comfortable. Caution should be taken with tinnitus. However, by sitting further away from the Gongs and wearing ear plugs, the vibrations may still be felt and the experience enjoyed. It is advised that hearing aids are removed as the higher pitched tones can interfere.

  • Sensitivity to sound - People who are sensitive to sound including individuals with Ménière’s disease may experience discomfort or agitation during a gong bath. Caution is advised. Please talk with a healthcare professional to make sure they’re a safe option for you and then let me know of any considerations that need to be followed.

  • Metal implants - Caution should be taken by people with metal devices in their body, such as a pacemaker, coronary shunt, artificial heart valves, or metal pins or staples as discomfort may be experienced. It is recommended that it be a minimum of 12 weeks post surgery and that if you are concerned or are unsure whether you should attend that medical advice be sought. During a group Gong session, the vibrations are not directed at specific body locations and so the impact will be indirect, however discomfort could still be experienced. It is recommended to sit further away from the Gongs initially.

Ultimately, individuals should listen to their bodies and consult with their healthcare provider if they have any concerns or underlying health condition before participating in a Gong bath.
