In the Heart of the Gong Space - the Gong as a Spiritual Tool by Sheila Whittaker

In her second book Sheila Whittaker draws on her many years of experience as a musician, teacher, sound healer, gongmaster and spiritual seeker, to give further insights into the healing world of the gong - the ultimate sound healing instrument.

This book is intended for intermediate gong players, energy healers, and for all with an interest in spirituality. In this book she discusses work with the gong in greater depth. The spiritual aspects of the gong's power are fully explained and illustrated with fascinating insights into the author's own personal experiences with this remarkable instrument. The gong is essentially a tool for the raising of consciousness, and this is discussed fully in the book.

The book is divided into two sections :
Section 1 is devoted mainly to the practical aspects of the gong in therapy situations.
Section 2 focuses largely on spiritual growth, with the gong as the central theme. The spiritual aspect is a crucial part of our healing work with the gong. This includes our own healing, as well as that of our clients, students, and all those with whom we work.

Chapters include:

• Giving a One-to-one Gong Treatment
• Working with Other Gong Players
• Client Care
• Entraining Symphonic Gongs
• Psychic Knowing and the Third Eye
• Return to the True Self.

Cost £21.95 plus £3 postage, from Sheila's website - also available from Amazon and SoundTravels.
