The Temple Wind helps to achieve both religious ecstasy and spiritual wisdom. It soothes and centers, it grounds you and then lifts you up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is made in the classic Wind Gong style, lathed, with no rim coming back from the face. The lack of the rim helps to open the sound, allowing the gong to be built to a complex crash. To allow for the engraved design of the outer edge, the outer ring of the gong is left unlathed, similar to our Dark Star Gongs. This unlathed portion helps to contain some of the crash, bringing some focus and clarity to the overall sound and adding a level of control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOM or AUM. It is merely the English transliteration of a Sanskrit term.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe symbol that we use to represent Om consists of three curves, a semicircle, and a dot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bottom curve represents our waking state.\u003cbr\u003eThe middle curve signifies the dream state.\u003cbr\u003eThe top curve suggests the state of deep sleep.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dot signifies the fourth state of consciousness, a pure consciousness of spirit that transcends space and time and that informs all the others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe semi circle at the top represents Maya and separates the dot from the other three curves. It signals to us that it is the illusion of Maya that can be an obstacle to realization of this Highest Mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Specifications (Approx.):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 32\" \/ 81.3 cm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 21 lbs 8 oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unlimited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48102132285632,"sku":"gu-32omtemplewind-UIT566","price":1149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1643\/4015\/files\/Unl.32TempleWindOM.jpg?v=1775163794","url":"https:\/\/gongs-unlimited.com\/products\/32-om-temple-wind-gong","provider":"Gongs Unlimited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
