Frequently Asked Questions about
Gong Sound Healing

Where are you located?

We have 2 locations. Our healing gong space, 3616 Soderburg Dr., is about 15 minutes west of Fort Collins near Horsetooth Reservoir and Horsetooth Mountain. Here we offer community and private, personal and small group sessions up to 12-14 people. We also offer outdoor sessions here. 

​

Our second location is shared with Luckyfoot Martial Arts at 521 N. Denver Ave., Loveland. A larger commercial space, clean, newly remodeled with energizing vibes, can accommodate ~ 25 participants for events, and is our home base for most Rossiter Stretch appointments during the week. This space is also available for rent to others in fitness or wellness work. Message us to inquire. 

 

What are the benefits of sound healing?

For thousands of years, gongs have been used in ceremonies, healing practices, and even communication. Today, gong sound healing—often called a gong bathTM,  sound healing or sound therapy—offer much more than simply listening to music.

​

Through a unique style of playing, the gongs create an intricate tapestry of frequencies that gently challenge the brain. Because the mind can’t easily follow or control these sounds, it’s invited into states we rarely reach in our busy, overstimulated lives. This process, known as entrainment, can guide the brain into beneficial rhythms—ranging from heightened creativity and mental clarity to deeply restful, meditative states.

​

For many people, especially those who find traditional meditation difficult, a gong sound healing provides a surprisingly effortless pathway into relaxation, renewal, and inner stillness.

​

Benefits of sound healing as reported by clients:

• Feelings of Intense joy & gratitude for life

• Mystical, dream-like state of exploration

​

What is a gong sound healing session like? 

In our gong sessions, wearing comfortable clothes, you are seated or lying on a comfortable chair or full body mat with a pillow and blanket. You are settled in with a verbally guided relaxation routine before being “bathed” in the sounds and vibrations of the gongs. Most people find it extremely soothing and satisfying, allowing them to step outside of their overthinking brain and deeply relax both physically and mentally. Many describe seeing vivid shapes and colors or having profound, mystical, dream-like journeys. Some fall into a wonderful, restorative sleep. Most everyone “awakens” feeling refreshed and renewed with a smile on their face.

 

Do I need to bring anything?

If you are scheduling your session at our foothills location, you do not need to bring anything unless you would prefer your own mat, blanket, and pillow. Everything is provided, including mats, bolsters, blankets, pillows, and eye masks.  If scheduling a community session out and about or at our Loveland location, please bring a mat, blanket and pillow for max comfort. 

 

When should I arrive?

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before start time to use the restroom and settle in.

 

How long does it last?

The actual gong playing can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 60 minutes for most community events. Times vary for private appointments.  If your session is at The Golden House, we invite you to stay a few minutes after, build community, and enjoy some delicious, fruity tea, a guest favorite!

​

What if I wear a hearing aid?

Many people choose to remove their hearing aids during sessions but that is a choice for you to make.

 

Are there any considerations?

Possibly. It may not be suitable for pregnancy, people with pacemakers or other implants, those suffering from serious heart conditions, acute or serious mental health problems, or those who may suffer from sound-induced epilepsy. If you are in any doubt about your suitability to attend these sessions, please consult your medical practitioner for advice.
