If you've been anywhere near the wellness scene lately, you've probably heard someone casually drop "gong puja" into conversation like it's totally normal to spend entire nights getting sonically bathed by an orchestra of gongs.

This ancient practice is having a proper moment — from London studios adding them faster than you can say "sound bath" to our own Amanda Denton running them several times a year due to demand.

Unlike your standard 1-h session, gong puja is the full monty: an all-night journey combining sacred sound, emotional release, and spiritual transformation that often leaves participants feeling like they've been reassembled from the cellular level up.

What is Conscious Connected Breathwork? Your complete beginner's guide to this powerful breathing practice.

Unlike meditation or traditional talk therapy, this practice works directly with the nervous system through controlled breathing patterns.

Research shows that altered breathing patterns can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce cortisol levels, and trigger the release of natural mood-regulating chemicals.

Sound baths have seen a 285% rise in popularity, and new scientific research reveals why. Studies are validating what ancient cultures knew for millennia: sound can profoundly alter our physical and mental states.

Using advanced neuroimaging technology, researchers have discovered that sound healing transforms brain activity within minutes, shifting from agitated wave patterns to deeply calm states.

Unlike traditional meditation requiring extensive training, sound baths offer immediate access to beneficial brainwave changes through passive listening.
