Some of you may wonder what Tibetan singing bowls and gongs are and why are we talking about them in Weybridge. Tibetan singing bowls, also known as Himalayan bowls, promote relaxation and offer effective healing properties such as stress relief. They are bowls that, when played, produce a rich, deep or high sound as they vibrate. The early origins of the singing bowls are linked to Mesopotamia and West Asia and date back over 5000 years; this region now contains the countries of Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria and Kuwait, and it is often described as a cradle of civilisation. The bowls then made their way to Tibet, Nepal and India, where the historical records of them date back 2000 years. Today, singing bowls and gongs can be found in many countries around the world; however, they only appeared in Europe in the late1950s, when they were originally brought to the continent by Chinese refugees. Later in the 20th<\/sup> century, they were brought intentionally by the famous Yogi and Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux, whose Gong Master Training centres are well-established in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n

Yes, you can find Singing Bowls and Gongs Healing Practice right in the Weybridge Business Centre at 66, York Road, Weybridge. It was opened by Leszek Sulich and Honorata Kruaze-Piglowska also known as Honorata Hono. \u2018I wanted to bring the right balance in my busy life as an accountant\u2019 said Honorata, sitting in their beautiful practice, surrounded by gongs and singing bowls and harmonious colours. \u2018I always loved nature and opened spaces and wanted to be close to nature, as well as I wanted to pursue and grow my spiritual life and contemplation. My curiosity and longing for spirituality led me to those sounds. At one of my workshops run in Yorkshire, I joined with Leszek and fell in love with the sound of the singing bowls and gongs and the magic that they bring. Right from the very first sound of a gong during a healing session, our human organs reach an alpha state, which guarantees a healing success right from the start. We are the sound and our body cells like this sound, as the live sound of gongs is healing.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about you, Leszek: how did you get involved with the Himalayan bowls and gongs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018In Poland, where I originally come from, as a young man and self-taught musician, I used to play guitar. As a person always concerned with good health, later in life, I participated in a liver-cleansing workshop organised by a famous Polish herbalist, Stanislaw Olszewski. On top of the diet and herbs that we consumed during the day, in the evening he used to invite us additionally to the gong sessions, as a further treatment. During those sessions, as a naturally musically inclined person, I was drawn to the sound, and I realised that this was what I wanted to do. I wanted to learn how to play and produce those sounds for healing, relaxation and spirituality. I already knew a little bit about the famous Don Conreaux who travelled all around the world and spread the knowledge about yoga and singing bowls and gongs.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don Conreaux is an American; his formal education includes a master\u2019s degree in theatre, and from 1952 to 1962, he was a director, actor and writer in Hollywood and New York City. He went to India and started practicing yoga and also became the Grand Gong Master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are singing bowls and gongs made of?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018In the ancient world\u2019 said Leszek, \u2018they were originally made out of pure copper for medicinal purposes. They are now made most often of bronze, which is a combination of copper, tin and zinc. They can also be made of a seven-metal medley of copper, tin, zinc, iron, lead, gold, and silver known as seven earth metals for seven chakras.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leszek, where did you get your professional training so you could become a therapist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018I Started my training with Ryszard Zdzioch in 2014 in Wroclaw. He is a man of incredible serenity and positive energy, who spreads love for the world of sounds through his courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018One year later, in 2015 I completed another Gong Master Training course, which was attended by teachers from around the world, including Don Conreaux. The course was organised in a beautiful mountain setting in Poland by Tom Soltron Czartoryski.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Soltron is also known as a precursor of modern music therapy, focusing on gongs and other therapeutic instruments. He is also a music composer and producer of Tone of Life Gongs, considered to be among the best gongs on the market. His training courses are nowadays organised mostly in Poland or in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n
