Playing a Rin Gong Reduces Stress and Relaxes the Mind

Zen Rin gongs are often used for Meditation Practice. But, did you know that gongs can also be used as a stress management tool? It is true. Playing a rin gong reduces tension, loosens up bodily tightness and eliminates fatigue caused by stress. People have been using the sound of gongs for centuries to work through stress or tension as a positive solution to being too fixated on things that do not create well-being. Playing the rin gong creates enormous well-being.

Often times, the mind becomes caught up in obsessive thinking about daily worries, problems and challenges that face you on a day-to-day basis. The sound of a Japanese Rin Gong is a very powerful way to release the mind from stress. The sound of a gong allow the mind to open up through listening to expansive sounds. When you strike a gong the first few seconds it penetrates the space of your room. The mind follows the sound as it fades away into silence. This fading effect allows the nervous system to calm down. I recommend striking the gong 3 times with short intervals in between of 10 -15 seconds.

Also, gongs can be used for yoga practice as well to open a session, close a yoga session or to transition from one yoga posture to the next. The additional relaxation benefit mentioned above is added to the timing value of using a gong for yoga practice.
