...the Effects are Dramatic~!

Your Heart is Free; have the Courage to follow it. ~Braveheart

Long before meeting The Gong, Life and I met on an alchemical path, exploring Source, Spirit, Awareness and Consciousness, Nature, the Cosmos and the mysteries of being Human. Life forged me in a multitude of ways, catalyzing faith, strength, courage, fortitude, resourcefulness, endurance and creativity. From Texas A&M (B.S. in Forest Science) to Oregon's Umpqua National Forest, I trusted Divine Guidance and returned to central Texas. Profound transformational experiences, study and continuous inner exploration created an effective multi-dimensional mosaic of empowering skills and understanding in Service to Humanity and this Earth. With my commitment to being a "Yes", my path now includes operating heavy equipment: a bucket list item fulfilled~!

"When it's over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into its arms. When it's over, I don't want to wonder if I've made my life of something particular, and real. I don't want to find myself sighing or frightened, or full of argument. I don't want to end up having simply visited this world." ~Mary Oliver

My relationship with tools of Sound began with Singing Quartz Crystal Bowls, Tibetan Bowls and Tuning Forks as a Karuna & Usui Reiki Master and Vagus Massage Therapist in 2000, and Yoga Teacher in 2003. Then in 2006, I landed on Planet Gong~! in an intimate and intense Yoga workshop with Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa and her husband Gurushabd. In the restoration-integration phase (savasana) of an early morning practice, exquisitely ethereal, uplifting, spacious and mysteriously affecting primordial sounds, comforting vibrations and cosmic frequencies penetrated and profoundly relaxed my entire Being. The gentle, productive, powerful Energy effects and organic Intelligence of the spaaaacious, liberating sounds were flowing within me, accomplishing an astonishing amount of 'work' in what felt to be constraint-free timelessness. Being in the sound currents of the Gong felt like Freedom~

Jens Zygar, Gong Artist, quoted "The Gong is the only sound which the mind has no defense." I was in deep amazement, fearless surrender and palpable transformation. As the Sun began to rise, I opened my eyes to discover a GONG had created the amazing sounds and transformational experience~! Even after Gurushabd ceased playing, the experience continued liberating and illuminating within me. The Gong would be an excellent complement to my work in the World~! In those moments, I declared my intention to share The Gong's gifts with humanity, this Earth and Beyond. Gong Training manifested soon thereafter....yet in sharing The Gong, being humble, receptive, connected to Pure Divine Cosmic Consciousness, and in Service to Goodness allows one to facilitate cleanly, consciously, effectively, powerfully and magnificently with the timeless, spacious nature of The Gong. In other words, the one in front of the Gong is not playing it; but in surrender and Service to the Divine, the environment, and those present to indirectly inform and inspire what 'playing' unfolds....

The Gong is like Yoga and other interactive energy traditions:

we play with Energy so Energy can play with us~!

Since connecting with my special Gong in 2009, I've been GONG HO about sharing its celestial, oceanic sounds, uplifting facilitative frequencies, and Divine Cosmic capacities where no Gong has gone-g before. Dedicated to expanding Gong applications, alchemy, accessibility, outreach, and collaborations, I exuberantly and creatively share Transformational Gong in unique, engaging, effective, functional, inspirational, meaningful and powerful ways: a Transformance rather than Performance. My Mission work with The Gong is similar to The Gentle Art of Blessing...expanding access to transformational experiences that effortlessly support mindfulness & meditation practices and healing endeavors. The spontaneous interactive serendipity and unique phenomenological alchemy of The Gong meeting World is a perpetual inspiration and experimental playground to me. With its sturdy backpack, The Gong and I:

Uplift, Support, Complement, Create & Inspire

Have an amazing idea, collaboration, mission, event, ceremony

or Blessing--and wish it even more amazing~?

I'd love to listen with you about the possibilities~!

Anne Marie & The Gong

Once there was a child made of salt.

So she set out on a long journey in pursuit of understanding.

Finally she came to the shore of a great Ocean.

How marvelous, she cried, and stuck one foot in the water.

The Ocean beckoned her further, saying:

"If you wish to know who you are, do not be afraid."

The salt child walked further into the water,

dissolving with each step.

And at the end, exclaimed,

"Aaah, now I know who I am."

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.
