David combines his skill set as a Yogi, Reiki Master, and Neuro-Acoustic Sound Practitioner, to create an immersive experience in Naad Yoga (the Yoga of Sound) and Sound Meditation. Not only is the gong a sonic experience, it also facilitates a deep ultrasonic massage of the entire body down to the cellular level. This allows us to experience deep relaxation, wholeness, healthy hormone secretions, waking dream-like states, and even altered or heightened states of consciousness.
In David’s unique approach to playing that he’s developed over the last 10 years, he focuses on using his mallet stroke patterns to develop a resonant droning field of holographic sound that you can literally feel pulsating in and all around you. He continuously pushes the resonant, droning atmosphere like a whirling, roaring river for 60 minutes. A truly profound and immersive experience of sound and resonance. In this field, we can relinquish the erratic chatter of the mind and truly rest. This experience of the gong is deeply rejuvenating and potentially healing, as it allows the parasympathetic nervous system to activate the natural healing properties of our bodies and offer a sense of inner silence, stillnes,s and serenity.
