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")

Over the following months ahead , let go of what doesn't resonant with what you feel you are becoming, and begin to embrace a deeper level of honesty and alignment.
Release your attachment to outdated identities and ways of being, and simply allow yourself to be without any need of defining yourself.
Align with the flow of life without being a passive spectator of it.
💦 BE LIKE WATER. .... The Tao Te Ching.
RESISTING CHANGE. 💧
Water is open to change. Depending on the temperature, it can be a liquid, solid or gas. Depending on the medium it's in, it can be a teapot, a cup or a flower vase. In fact, it's water's ability to adapt and change and remain flexible that made it so enduring through the ages, despite all the changes in the environment.
EFFORTLESS HARMONY. 💧
If you think about water flowing towards a rock, it will just flow around it. It doesn't get upset, it doesn't get angry, it doesn't get agitated. In fact, it doesn't feel much at all. When faced with an obstacle, somehow water finds a solution, without force, without conflict.
HUMILITY. 💧
If you think about water flowing in a river, it is always staying low. It helps all the plants grow and keeps all the animals alive. It doesn't actually draw any attention to itself, nor does it need any reward or recognition. It is humble.
But without water's humble
contribution, life as we know it may not exist.
BE LIKE WATER. 💦
💧 Find your silence.
💧 Pause your mind.
💧 Listen to your wisdom.
Hear YOUR truth.
LIVE THE LIFE YOUR SOUL INTENDED. ❤️
Our Gongs by Julia Community Gong Bath for APRIL, held at Baslow Village Hall is proving to be really popular, but there are a few tickets remaining if you feel like trying something truly unique to support your wellbeing this Spring 🪴❣️
Dream with intention.
Build with devotion.
Trust the timing.
These planets coming together in this way hasn't happened since 4361 BC making it one of the most powerful transits of our lifetime.
🪐 Saturn represents structure, discipline, commitment, and the long game.
🌔 Neptune represents dreams, intuition, spirituality, and the unseen realms.
When these two come together, you are being asked to give form to your dreams. To build something real from what once existed only in your imagination.
💥 Aries is “I AM”. Energy without apology. Bold, pioneering, and unafraid.
Together they ask:
✨What do you want to create?
✨What are you willing to commit to? ✨What dream is ready to become your reality?
Saturn will give form to whatever it touches, and Neptune will dissolves the barriers between what is and what could be. Aries will bring the fireworks!
Together, they will create a bridge between your dreams and your reality.
🎈THERE IS ALSO A SURRENDER POINT!
With both Saturn and Neptune in Aries, you will begin to question who you are at your core.
Not the roles you play.
Not the titles you carry.
Not the identities that were handed to you.
But who are you, truly?
Why are you here?
What are you here to create.
Over the next three years, you will experience a profound internal transformation.
A dissolving of who you thought you were.
A stripping away of outdated identities.
A confrontation with illusions you didn’t even realize you were living inside of.
And the only way through this transit is to surrender.
Breathe. Ground. Stay present in your body. The cosmos is not collapsing. It is reorganizing. And you are being invited to step into who you were always meant to become.
Thursday saw Gongs by Julia create 11
Gong Baths for 330 children in their pyjamas, with their favourite cuddlies and snuggly blankets.
It was a day of magic, specially created to gently introduce children to a unique type of meditation that only Gongs can create.
The magic of silence and stillness is woven into our children's Gong sessions and is something that most definitely helps shape a developing child in a positive way.
While there are many cognitive (left brain) benefits from teaching silence, there are even more emotional and social (right brain) benefits.
The inner world of most children today is one of turmoil and the outer world they live in probably contributes.
Children that are able to build a doorway to their own inner stillness and calm are better able to manage their chaotic rapidly changing world.
This doorway is found on the inside rather than the outside with the help of a magical type of meditation and GONGS.
GONGS BY JULIA'S aim has always been to equip children and adults alike with techniques and knowledge for a happier, healthier life.
Allowing them to thrive in todays diverse world. Building resilience, self esteem and inner strength.
All that is needed are GONGS and an openness to experience them.❣️
FROM THE SNAKE TO THE HORSE.
Feb 17th 2026 - Feb 20th 2027🔥
Shed to Rise. 🐍
Root to Run. 🐎
The Fire Horse is here to break old timelines completely!
You will not be able to carry familiar patterns into a cycle ruled by movement, courage, and raw emotional honesty.
What was once tolerated out of comfort, fear or attachment, becomes impossible to maintain, and the unraveling happens quickly!
This year accelerates endings and sharpens clarity.
Your Soul will refuse to remain in spaces where your heart has stopped growing.
Relationships you have built on settling, emotional avoidance, self-abandonment, or denial will be exposed and challenged, not to punish, but to reveal truth.
This is where shadow patterns will surface to be released rather than managed. Old emotional conditioning will dissolve.
Maturity will replace survival. Self-development is activated, and relationship rebirth begins — not through force, but through the refusal to live disconnected from what is real to You.
The Fire Horse is here to intensify what is real and dissolves what is false.
ANY connections held together by comfort, convenience, fear or loneliness, will not survive the heat of 2026. This year will not tolerate stagnation disguised as stability.
Comfort and safety, will burn to ash.
You will no longer be able to pretend or numb your intuition.
Emotional avoidance collapses. Old agreements fracture. Alignment becomes unavoidable.
This year you are asked to not suppress what is within your heart with fire, but guide yourself with wisdom, truth and clarity.
Children’s Mental Health Week runs from the 9th - 15th of February this year and the theme is “This is My Place.”
The focus is on fostering a sense of belonging, safety, and connection for young people in schools, homes, and communities.❣️
Gongs by Julia had the privilege this month of supporting such an important event at Keyworth Primary & Nursery School. Nottinghamshire.
With evidence now showing that one in six children experience mental health challenges, we were asked to created bespoke sound immersion sessions throughout the school day aimed at empowering the children to feel valued, reduce their stress and support their wellbeing. ❣️
6 year groups , 216 small adults, 16 Gongs and a “Teacher Gong Bath” to end the day. And what an incredible day it was.
We came to consciously create calm and quiet within each child's day. To create a space to feel safe so they may learn that their own company can be a comfort. ❤️
GONGS IN SCHOOL = wellbeing 😊

A SERIES OF SOFTENINGS. 🌱
A gentle Imbolc Gong Bath in ALLESTREE, Derby on Sunday evening, honouring the turning wheel of nature.
Celebrating the coming of lighter, longer days, warmer winds and the arrival of new life within ourselves and nature.🌼
A moment to rest and listen to what was still growing. Within the stillness a reminder of our endurance, dreams and the promise of change.
Our space a threshold for Cailleach, the Winter Crone, keeper of the bones and time within the frozen ground, to meet with Imbolc and Brigid.
With her fire, courage, and strength , ready to warm us while we endure and give shape to what is asking to be born in us... with courage, belief and grace.
