But one day, I had a revelation that completely changed my perception of this amazing instrument.<\/p><p>I went to a musician friend's house with the intention of buying a Tibetan singing bowl. The deal was a success, and it seemed that was all. But then the owner suddenly asked, \"Would you like to hear a gong?\"<\/p><p>A silver metal gong, about 60 cm in diameter, appeared before me. The musician picked up a hammer and began striking its surface. A sharp noise erupted, causing everyone present to involuntarily cringe. Honestly, at that moment I thought the gong was just a loud metal disk.<\/p><p>But curiosity got the better of me. I picked up the hammer, dampened the vibration, and, steeling myself, delivered one firm, but not forceful, blow right into the center. And a miracle happened: the gong came to life. Instead of noise, it produced a soft, deep, enveloping sound, filled with melody and vibration. It wasn&#039;t just a sound\u2014it was singing.<\/p><p>Someone in the room said: \u00abBehold, the hand of a master!\u00bb And I thought: it\u2019s true, the gong can only be revealed to those who know how to hear its soul.<\/p><p>I left with that amazing sound that was lodged somewhere deep inside.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

I couldn&#039;t refuse.<\/p><p>The session took place in a cozy private home. An entire room was dedicated to meditation, furnished with soft rugs, singing bowls, candles, and two enormous planetary gongs\u2014the Sun and the Moon.<\/p><p>The meditation began gently: the quiet, infrequent strikes of the gong lulled me into a daze. Thoughts drifted in and out, and I tried to understand what the master was doing to create such a sound. Gradually, the sounds grew more powerful, but did not disturb my state. I settled in comfortably, allowed myself to let go of my thoughts\u2014and suddenly felt myself flying.<\/p><p>Clouds of yellow and violet light appeared before my eyes. Then they dispersed, and I found myself in a boundless black space, strewn with billions of stars. I didn&#039;t just see it\u2014I was moving through this universe, and my only desire was to keep flying. This feeling of weightlessness and peace is hard to forget.<\/p><p>When the gongs fell silent, I didn&#039;t immediately realize the session was over. The master quietly left, and I lay in silence for another 7-10 minutes, as if filling with a new state. Only when he returned and congratulated us on our first real gong session did I finally return to reality.<\/p><p>From that day on, I began actively looking for an opportunity to acquire my own

Only the instrument that resonates with your heart will become a true companion in your practice.<\/p><p>And so we found ourselves in the extraordinary Grotta Sonora studio, where the space was hung with gongs of various sizes, from 50 cm to 150 cm in diameter. The atmosphere resembled a fairytale hall, filled with vibration and sound. At first, we were asked to simply listen to the sounds of the various gongs, and then we ourselves picked up a hammer and tested their power.<\/p><p>Each instrument was unique: some resembled the ringing of bells, others the breath of the earth. But the gong impressed me most, its sound reminiscent of the guttural chanting of Tibetan monks. Its deep vibrations penetrated the very essence, creating a wonderful sense of harmony.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c99ca45 sc_height_medium sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"c99ca45\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-35d99c9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"35d99c9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d12657b sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"d12657b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a533328 sc_height_small sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a533328\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0a0dfa sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-trx_sc_title\" data-id=\"a0a0dfa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"trx_sc_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div\t\tclass=\"sc_title sc_title_accent\" ><span class=\"sc_item_subtitle sc_title_subtitle sc_align_left sc_item_subtitle_above sc_item_title_style_accent\">Rasajana<\/span><h2 class=\"sc_item_title sc_title_title sc_align_left sc_item_title_style_accent\"\n\t\t\t><span class=\"sc_item_title_text\">4.

Here I received in-depth training in gong playing, where each session became a living dialogue with the instrument itself.<\/p><p>From the very beginning, I was immersed in the basics: how to hold the hammers correctly, how to feel the weight of my hand, how to vary the force of my strike. But most importantly, I was shown that the gong responds not only to physical impact but also to internal states. This isn&#039;t mechanics; it&#039;s skill.<\/p><p>The true masters of Grotta Sonora revealed little secrets: how to alternate vibrations, how to &quot;guide&quot; the sound so that it lives, breathes, and never falters. They corrected my movements, guided me, but most importantly, they taught me to hear the gong. Not just listen to the sound, but merge with it, be in its flow.<\/p><p>That&#039;s how our story with the octogong began. Today, this instrument lives in Riga, and we&#039;ve been holding weekly gong therapy sessions since August 2024. Unlike traditional meditation events, which take place every few months, our gong is played weekly, every Thursday at 7:30 PM at \u0136eguma 50.<\/p><p>Participants note the power and uniqueness of the octogong, its ability to relieve tension, energize, and bring inner peace. In gong therapy, it&#039;s impossible to dictate the terms\u2014you simply need to tune into the gong&#039;s vibrations and allow them to guide you deeper.<\/p><p>Every sound is a cleansing. Every vibration is a step in restoration.<\/p><p>Let the gong meditation with the Grotta Sonora octogong become a space for you to reboot and return to your true self, and I will <strong>Evgeny Vetrov<\/strong>, I will be your guide.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9ae97b6 sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"9ae97b6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00db782 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"00db782\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"598\" height=\"725\" src=\"https:\/\/rasajana.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gong-master-598x725.jpg\" class=\"attachment-jacqueline-thumb-huge size-jacqueline-thumb-huge wp-image-24145\" alt=\"gongu-meditacijas\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38f89f4 sc_height_medium sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"38f89f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64ca1f0 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"64ca1f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Join our sessions and give yourself a chance to experience the power of the gong&#039;s unique sound and discover new aspects of yourself.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rasajana \u0415\u0432\u0433\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0412\u0435\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0432 \u0413\u043e\u043d\u0433-\u043c\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0435\u0440, \u043f\u0440\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0443\u044e\u0449\u0438\u0439 \u0432 \u0420\u0438\u0433\u0435 \u0415\u0432\u0433\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0412\u0435\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0432 \u2014 \u0433\u043e\u043d\u0433-\u043c\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0435\u0440 \u0412\u0435\u0434\u0443 \u0435\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0435\u0434\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u0441\u0435\u0430\u043d\u0441\u044b \u0433\u043e\u043d\u0433-\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0430\u043f\u0438\u0438&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-23605","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_hostinger_reach_plugin_has_subscription_block":false,"_hostinger_reach_plugin_is_elementor":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rasajana.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rasajana.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rasajana.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rasajana.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rasajana.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23605"}],"version-history":[{"count":70,"href":"https:\/\/rasajana.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23605\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24853,"href":"https:\/\/rasajana.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23605\/revisions\/24853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rasajana.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
