BROTHERS OF THE GONG Is a collective of two gong enthusiasts who have come together to help people experience deep states of meditation. When the gong tones bathe you, your brainwaves are automatically tuned to the frequency of Alpha, Theta, or Delta….. Beta is the preferred brainstate of modern society and our exclusive focus on it has ultimately not served us well. If we are going to have a peaceful and more harmonious planet we need to change this. These meditations are our contribution to this effort.
