105. The Original Meditation App: A Gong

Stressed? Overwhelmed? Plagued by general malaise about…everything? Consider a gong. 

In this episode of Silly Little Ding Dongs, we dive deep into the world of gongs, exploring not just their purpose, history, & significance, but the emerging science of #GongLife and it’s implications for your relationships with your tech (and whatnot). 

In this episode we’ll discuss - 

• Common misconceptions about gongs - they’re not analog sirens!
• A holistic approach to gong playing - yes, playing - not banging - that incorporates life lessons that can be useful to anyone who wants to play a gong well and *PLAY A GONG WELL*
• How the science of sound - soundwaves, frequency, harmonics, and resonance - impact our experience of gongs, and everything else in the world. 
• The wellness industrial complex behind mindfulness tech and products. Specifically, that they are tools, not deliverables. 
• What falling in love with a volcano-ologist sounds like (good). 

Enjoy!
