GONG PUJA

11/9 - 11/10

7PM - 7AM

GUIDED BY: NOELIA MADIEDO

Gong Puja Overview:

A Gong Puja is a profound spiritual and healing experience rooted in the traditions of Buddhism, where "puja" signifies expressions of honor and devotional attention. This event is an opportunity to honor and create space for the body's innate ability to heal—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The gongs are played gently throughout the night, enveloping participants in healing vibrations while they sleep or meditate.

Healing Benefits:

The Gong Puja is a journey through sound, where the resonant tones of the gongs bring about functional harmony. This auditory experience promotes inner stillness, allowing deep healing to occur. Participants often experience a state of cosmic consciousness, where the body rests in deep sleep, and the mind floats in a dream-like state. The vibrations cleanse, unblock, and free the participants, promoting a deep sense of peace, well-being, and balance of the chakras. The energy of the gong puja space is highly charged, often inducing Theta brainwaves, which can bring up visions and facilitate healing from the subconscious.

What to Bring and How to Prepare:

1. Attire: Wear loose, comfortable clothing in white or black to allow relaxation and ease during the session. Additional layers or blankets may be helpful as body temperature can drop in a relaxed state. Pillows and blankets are typically provided.

2. Hydration and Diet: Drink plenty of water before the event to support the body's natural cleansing process. Eat a light, nourishing meal or snack a few hours prior to avoid discomfort during the experience. A green vegan diet is recommended for three days leading up to the event.

3. Mindset and Intentions: Arrive with an open mind and willingness to be present. Setting an intention, whether for relaxation, healing, or self-discovery, can enhance the experience. However, it's important to have no specific expectations.

4. Mindfulness Practices: Engage in meditation or quiet time before the event to calm the mind and enter a relaxed state. Arriving early can help you settle in and prepare mentally.

5. Health Considerations: Please inform us of any medical conditions or physical limitations to ensure your safety and well-being during the session.

Post-Puja Integration:

After the Gong Puja, it's beneficial to allow time for rest and relaxation. Hydrate and nourish your body with fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Engage in grounding activities like spending time in nature or practicing yoga. Self-reflection through journaling or meditation can help integrate the experience and process any emotions or insights that arose.
