Does anyone else hate gong baths?

I love Yoga and have done it for many years, I now do Kundalini yoga which is very spiritual and involves chanting and breathing practice
my teacher is amazing and I love the classes, but recently she has started using a massive loud gong at the end while relaxing, I hate it , I literally want to cover my ears, the sound seems to vibrate through my body and makes me shake and feel nauseous , I hate to say anything because everyone else seems to love it, Is this just me ??

Perhaps ask to leave before the gong?

I went to a gong bath once and I thought I was going to vomit, the vibrations made me so queasy.

People can have very extreme negative reactions to gongs, I’d tell her how it makes you feel and can she let you know so you can leave before it.

I’m with you. Don’t like them.

This exactly, the sound makes me feel sick, Im ok with loud noises , music ect , but the gong sound seems to penetrate my body some how 😢

I've never been near one, but someone frequently advertises their gong baths on our local FB page. Even seeing the ads makes me instinctively cringe. I know I wouldn't be able to bear it. And I don't understand how anyone can.

I saw a gong bath on TV recently. I think it was Robson Green on one of his travel programmes. I would absolutely hate it.

I love gong and sound baths. They have very different sounds and it varies between practioners. It's a shame she doesn't advertise it as with gong so you can choose a class without this.

Good ones are very good, bad ones are awful, and I've experienced both!

Hi, I don't like baths, I've never liked them, although I've tried them several times

Notmycircusnotmyotter · 20/02/2025 22:24

I love them. I love sound baths. They can have quite a strong effect so I imagine if you don't like them it could be pretty overwhelming.

I only like them if they are dramatic/build to a crescendo at some point. Wishy washy doesn't do it.
