In Memory of my Best Friend, Giddy: The Heart Gong Day 15 of the 30-Day Gong Challenge

Greetings from Day 15 of the 30-Day Gong Challenge!

Today’s challenge is dedicated to my King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Giddy, who passed away last week. He loved the sound of the gong and would always come and sit by me whenever I played it.

The Heart Gong is a powerful tool for emotional release and healing. Today, we use it to connect with our beloved animals and send them our love.

If you have an animal that you’d like to send love to, set up your gong in a comfortable place and sit or lie down in a relaxed position. Place your hand on your heart and close your eyes. Imagine your animal friend in front of you and send them love and healing energy. You can use your breath to amplify the love energy – inhale love and exhale healing.

Stay here for as long as you like. When you’re finished, take a few deep breaths and give thanks.

The Challenge

Day 15 of the 30-Day Gong Challenge calls for a unique practice that is both healing and meditative. The challenge, The Heart Gong, prompts us to use the gong as a means of connecting with our pets or animal friends who have passed away. The Heart Gong is more than just creating soothing sounds. Its vibrations penetrate deeper into the body, creating a resonance that can bring about healing at the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. This challenge invites us to use the power of the Heart Gong for emotional and soul healing. The challenge may be challenging, especially for those who have lost a pet recently or have a beloved pet that is currently struggling with its health. But remember that this challenge is also an opportunity to connect and honor your pets in a powerful and heartwarming way.

The Prompt

The Heart Gong challenge prompt requires us to tap into our emotions and send love to our beloved pets or animals. This prompt invites us to connect on a deeper level with our furry friends and share a powerful emotional bond. The prompt also encourages us to find inner peace and emotional release. When we use the Heart Gong to connect with our pets, we open ourselves up to a powerful healing process that can help us manage any pain or sadness that we are feeling. This challenge prompt is a reminder that our pets are not just animals, but are companions, friends and members of our family. This practice helps us honor them and pay tribute to their special place in our lives.

The Practice

To practice the Heart Gong, first, set up your gong in a comfortable place where you won't be disturbed. Start by finding a relaxed position, sitting or lying down. Then, with one hand on your heart, close your eyes and take a deep breath. Visualize your pet or animal friend in front of you, and imagine sending them love and healing energy. You can use your breath to amplify this energy by inhaling love and exhaling healing energy. As you continue to breathe and play the gong, feel the vibrations of the gong resonating through your body. Allow this experience to guide you into a deep meditative state. Stay in this state for as long as you want, and when you're ready, take a few deep breaths and give thanks for the practice.
