I discovered the powerful, hypnotic and suprisingly varied sounds of the gong recently. I was hooked and bought one myself. Although much of gong playing is intuitive and naturally learned through experimentation, I wanted to learn all I could about this mysterious instrument. Information on how to play the gong and the spiritual aspects of the sound of the gong are difficult to find. This book is a wonderful introduction to all aspects of the gong and the yoga that is associated with it. The interesting history of the gong, its uses in Western and Eastern music, how to play it and the gongs effects on the body's energetic system are all discussed.

An excellent and one of the very few books written about this Ancient Vibrational Healing Technique. For anyone that would like a general education about the Gong. Includes information about caring for, transporting, and setting up the Gong. Basic playing strokes are also clearly described and pictured. This book will inspire you to seek this form of healing in your life.

OK, so I come to this book with a bit of a bias....I adore the gong! I always have and always will.
Still...my God...someone has written a book about all of those things I intuited about the gong but could not find the words for!
Yes, Mehtab's book covers all of the Beauty the gong has to share with us: relaxation, releasing, healing, astral traveling :), transformation and so much more, and is written in the voice of clarity and effortless humor that is so much Mehtab Benton.
I encourage all to read this book, refer to this book for the rest of your gonging journey and, most of all, to actually experience the Gong and its benefits with Mehtab if you are ever visiting the lovely Austin, Texas!
I give this book 5 stars, because it's one of those books that as a yoga teacher I will refer to for the rest of my life. It stands next to my copy of the Bhagavad Gita and Tantra: The Path of Ecstasy
by Georg Feuerstein.
Thank you, Mehtab and Yogi Bhajan!

Gong Yoga is a very well written informative book.
The author gives you a brief history on the gong and describes its applications in the practice of yoga as well as meditational and healing uses. The instructional portion of the book is well laid out so beginners can follow along easily.

Actually the title should be Gong plays you. Great information for the Gong Master Art.
