The Gong Guy

Guy Douglas is so talented and authentic. I have been to many soundbaths and his is the real deal and always incredible. Walk in feeling stressed walk out feeling calm — every time. I actually hired him to work at my studio Unplug Meditation in West LA and his class was so popular we put him on the schedual twice a week — Saturdays and Tuesdays at 8pm. He teaches all over LA in different studios and is known as the Gong Guy so try it out whereever you can grab the experience — I promise you will never forget it !

I went to a Sunday sound bath, led by Guy & a few others on his warm team. From clever and very helpful signage getting us into the parking structure & to the event space, to being greeted at the door, & then an explanation as to where the group would be set up, all the communication at every turn was really helpful.
That night’s event was at a dance studio, & the open floor felt like a zen yoga space. The presence of huge crystal bowls & drums & a harp in the center of the room definitely added to that vibe!
After everyone arrived & our individual yoga mats were spread out, Guy explained the process for newbies like me in attendance. There would be a period of collective breathwork, followed by an opportunity to scream out your own stresses/​fears/​sadness/​basically anything that you’d like to release. Then the gongs & drums & bowls would sing, & that night, an extra treat of harp music.
I had no idea what to expect, but it ended up being one of the most moving experiences I’ve ever had. A lot of people audibly had emotional responses, so it felt like a safe-​feeling space to express it, & then let it go instead of hanging on to it. At the beginning of the event, it felt like there was a lot of anticipation in the air, & at the end, the room felt calmer, happer, brighter somehow. Nice!
It’s hard to explain exactly what you’ll feel if you go, and impossible to predict how anyone will respond. So I say, just go with an open mind & experience it for yourself!
Wear comfy clothes & shoes you can easily remove, & bring water, a yoga mat to lie on, a blankie of some sort to snuggle up underneath, someone to share in the experience with (optional!), and an eye cover if you think you’ll be more relaxed with that on. When we went, it was $ 25/​person, & lasted about 2 hours.

Guy is a true sound healer. He took me on a relaxing journey that I really needed after a very stressful day and I felt literally like a different person when I walked out of the room that day! Yayee! This will be my regular sunday pampering session!!:))

Having a Gong Sound Bath with Guy Douglas is incredible. It clears your chakras and balances and aligns your spirit. Every time I leave a session with him I feel clear and grounded. Thanks again Guy!

The body responds to sound and frequency on a cellular level. The same level the healing takes place on when attending a sound session with The Gong Guy (Guy Douglas). Everything he offers he offers from his heart. Go to The Gong Guy and connect with sound, connect with Source, connect with your heart and connect with yourself. You will be made better by the experience.

I highly recommend participating in a sound bath with Guy Douglas. His work with the gongs is amazing and very powerful.
I have been to several of Guy’s group sound bathes and wish I could go to every single one. The way I feel when I leave each session is a little different, but is always soothing and with meaningful breakthroughs.
I’ve released old pain, I’ve cried, I’ve laughed, and I’ve always felt better walking out than when I walked in, in one way or another.
You will not regret going if you can let go, release, and enjoy the ride!

Guy Douglas will take you to the most extraordinary place and all you have to do is lay down and receive. I can’t recommend his sound healings more. Wether he is in a studio or outside with his gong chair, the sound resonates. Go see the Gong Guy if you want to smooth out the ruff edges.

This is the most amazing experience– way better than a regular massage.
I felt so emotionally strong afterwards, like my heart had just been fed some soul food. I was a little bit nervous in the beginning, as the sound was really intense. However, soon enough I was relaxing deeply into it, and feeling healed all the way.
I love this experience, and I recommend it to anyone going through a rough patch. It’s the number one thing for any emotional malady, such as SAD– which we all have :)
