GONG BATHS. A Quiet Time For The Mind & Body. A Moment To Pause. Relax. Release. Reflect. Rebalance. SPECIALISING IN THE USE OF SOUND TO TRANSFORM LIVES.

Gong Baths | Sound Baths | Wellbeing
Festivals | Events | 1-1 Healing | Education | Business. SOUND IS MY PASSION. GONGS BY JULIA came about through my own personal journey with ill health and lived trauma. I realised that through the use of sound I could be the "Captain of my own ship"; that I could understand the complexity of my emotions and focus on wellbeing and life satisfaction, avoiding negative emotions and symptom relief. It is now my mission to share this simple but life changing tool with others. Sound has no language, gender, race or religious belief; it needs only to be created to be of use and then loved. Through the use of gongs, drums and a variety of other instruments, a platform can be created whereby like minded people of all ages, abilities and beliefs can come together to create a supportive community. Within this safe and nurturing space a person can learn who they truly are, thier strengths and weaknesses, their fears and anxieties and why they make the choices they do and how all this can affect their health and wellbeing. Gaining this priceless and powerful understanding results in a release of anything negative and limiting leading to new beginnings where positive growth is embraced. Confidence grows, along with self-worth and self-belief. Over time a person starts to feel empowered and good about themselves, less fearful and more willing to face new challenges and all that life has to offer. GONGS BY JULIA is about transforming lives, it is a growing community of limitless possibilities where understanding, friendship, support, guidance and connection are guaranteed. I WORK IN MANY SETTINGS - SCHOOLS, CORPORATE EVENTS, FESTIVALS and ONE TO ONE THERAPIES. (Please also see my FB page "Vibrational Alchemy 101")

Sunday evening Gongs by Julia took their Community Gong Baths to BAWTRY, a beautiful market town in the boundaries of Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
Guests came from far and wide, some as far as London! 😮 to celebrate community connections and try something new for their wellbeing journey of 2026.
This was the first of 4 Community Gong Baths planned for the town of Bawtry this year.
And what an incredible start to these very special evenings with wonderful welcoming energies all round.
The Gongs were so well received. leaving a memorable resonance with all those that attended.
It was a privilege to create such a powerful evening and we look forward to seeing you all again in April.
OUR FIRST COMMUNITY GONG BATH GATHERING for 2026 😃
Allestree, Derby ❣️
CAPRICORN SEASON. - The Decent Into The Bones. …..
There is power in this pause.
In the quiet space between what has ended and what is about to begin.
Sit in the silence. Remain there a while longer.
Let the last layers fall without forcing them.
Notice what is ready to be released, even now.
This threshold before spring, and it’s not asking you to move yet.
It is asking you to listen.
To soften.
To make room for the energy that is already turning.
When the shift comes, you will feel it.
And you will meet it lighter, clearer, and open.
We are still shedding from the year of the “Wooden Snake”.
Be in no rush, leave the “Fire Horse” in its stable for a while longer.
January is not a beginning. It is winters dark phase, quiet, still and regenerating.
The North still sleeps. Animals rest and seeds are underground. Now we remain resistant, heavy and slow. Following the rhythm of nature.
Rest, Reflect and Dream.
Awake in Spring when the light returns, the soil is warm and life actually emerges. Gongs by Julia
Cancer 🌔♋️… BELONGING. NOURISHMENT. EMOTIONAL TRUTH.
The Cancer full moon arrives on the 3rd of January, it’s our first one for 2026 and it’s all about “emotions!”
The divine feminine once again moves through the world, restoring a remembrance in each of us, that real power lives in intuition within our bodies and its guidance is from love.
Under this Cancer Full Moon, the heart becomes the gateway, and inner knowing begins to rises quietly through emotion, memory, and feeling.
Ruled by the Moon, Cancer attunes us to the subtle guidance of the universe, where truth does not demand proof, only presence.
Emotional patterns will surface now as signals rather than disruptions, inviting release through awareness and compassion.
As the Moon reaches fullness, what no longer belongs softens and dissolves, returning to the waters of Cancer.
This Moon may reveal where your inner world has been neglected while you focused on outer stability or progress. It calls for slowing down, re-centering, and reconnecting with what truly feels supportive and nourishing.
If tears come without a clear story, let them fall.
Cancer’s emotional waters are here to wash away the residue of illusion and remind you that your vulnerability is a natural way for your body to return to a sense of home. ❤️
This Moon is here to remind you, you do not need to earn rest, you do not need to justify softness, and you do not need to be productive to be worthy of care.
Thank you for another year of amazing memories.
Thank you for your endless support, and for always understanding me on days when I’ve been clueless.
Thank you for being my rock, my confidant, and my partner in all things weird, wonderful and barely legal!
You mean the world to me.
Your loyalty, love, and friendship are something I cherish from this year into the next and beyond.
I COULDN’T IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT YOU ❤️

ANOTHER DOOR CLOSES ON THE YEAR AND THE GONGS REST. 🙏❤️
As our GONGS AT HOME event draws to a close for 2025, Gongs by Julia would like to say a huge THANK YOU to each and everyone of our guests who chose to join us this year.
This monthly event just keeps on giving.
It is an event you will never see advertised and yet it has a tremendously loyal and well established community. With countless guests taking the opportunity to experience something uniquely special in a truly sacred space on a day and time of their choosing.
Its continuous success over the years never ceases to amaze us. The picturesque village, the small converted chapel and the ever growing community of friends investing in time solely for themselves, allows the Gongs to share their magic and for this we are forever grateful.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND FUTURE GUESTS.
We look forward to welcoming you back into our sonic sanctuary next year.

FINAL THOUGHTS.❤️
As we stand at the threshold between darkness and light, we embrace the Winter Solstice with reverence and gratitude.
We kindle the flames of hope, introspection, and renewal within ourselves, honouring nature and the enduring wisdom she chooses to share with us.
We embrace the rest, release the year and realign ourselves with our own unique life rhythm.
JUST FOR A MOMENT....
REST. REFLECT. REPLENISH. REJOICE.
"Allow your feelings to guide you because your feelings are your truth."
Gongs by Julia
Solstice Blessings ✨

BEGINNINGS & ENDINGS.
This was Gongs by Julia’s final Community Gong Bath at Baslow Village Hall for 2025 on Friday evening and it became a time of gentle surrender.
A closing of the door on the month of December, a time to take guidance from nature and drop gently into stillness and slow down.
The depth of the dive was for self reflection.
A time to "feel" into the year just gone. To smile and appreciate the journey, celebrating the wins, the resilience and the challenges overcome, with lessons learnt. ❤️
“We are so grateful to have been given the opportunity to once again, share another year with YOU, our friends.
It is such an honour and privilege to share your wellness journeys and we are immensely grateful that you choose to be a part of our ever growing community and support the dreams and aspirations of “GONGS BY JULIA”.🙏❣️
We wish you all the most magical of Christmas’s and we look forward to seeing you all again in January.”🥰❣️

NEW MOON IN SAGITTARIUS DECEMBER 2025: 🌔
EMOTIONAL RESET, BOUNDARIES & DESTINY SHIFTS.💫
The New Moon on the 19th of December’25 is not here to play it safe.
It's about speaking YOUR truth out loud, choosing the braver path, and trusting that change and expansion follows courage.
You are being asked to communicate from your higher wisdom (your inner voice)
- not your conditioning!
✨To break family patterns around love, money, and self-expression.
✨To regulate your nervous system so growth doesn't feel like survival.
🌔With Jupiter in Cancer, the reward doesn't come from pushing harder - it comes from creating safety in your body first.
🌔With Chiron activated, honesty heals old wounds.
🌔With Saturn involved, emotional mastery is required, (“Feel” your guidance don’t “think” it).
🌔And with Mars in Capricorn, what you begin now is tied to your legacy.
Sagittarius will connect with the North Node of Destiny pulling you towards your fate, while the South Node will ask you to release the past and outdated ways of thinking.
With Mercury's presence, you are given a choice in how you approach this mission. You can scream and resist or you can walk away unscathed without wasting your time or energy!
Make sure you fill your cup before you pour.
Say the thing you've been holding back. And choose the path that scares you because it's true for YOU. ❣️
Gongs by Julia are truly humbled and incredibly grateful for the overwhelming and unwavering support they continue to receive from their incredible community.
YOUR presence and engagement at our events continues to make every moment special. YOU are our motivation, the very reason behind our existence and our success. YOU are our history and you are our future. ❣️
