This Gong Training Course with Richard Rudis includes 10+ hours of recordings in English with French sub titles.

This course is geared toward beginner, intermediate, and advanced level participants alike. It will explore the use of gongs for healing, meditation, and consciousness expansion. While several different types of gongs will be examined, the course will principally focus on the polytonal constructs found within the planetary gong series.

Through science and philosophical teachings Sacred Sound Vibrational Healing has an innate transformative power within the human psyche. It is an ancient modality found within many traditions however my focus has been centered on the pattern teachings found within Tibetan Buddhism. Through the use of planetary tuned gongs a weaving of ‘sound matrixes’ connect particular musical intervals, sacred geometry and corresponding mental/physical states within the human body. This establishes a gateway linking the structure of living organisms to the laws of naturally occurring harmonics. (The vibrational rates and precise fundamental tonal expressions found in nature.)

A Gong Bath™ is a construct of these measurable harmonic resonances. It is a ‘living’ presence composed of sound, silence, space and time corresponding to and communicating with the human body and consciousness.
