The Flower of Life tuning represents the origin of all things through sacred geometry. The combination of numbers, shapes, and vibrations is part of humanity’s oldest myths. It is an effort to connect to our origin and understand ourselves. The frequencies of the Flower of Life collection are a step on the path leading to this goal. The Flower of Life gong is the sonic metaphor of the primordial creative sound.
Note: this is a handcrafted instrument forged by heating the metal alloy to high temperatures, then hammering the surface by hand to achieve the desired pitch and tone. Our artisanal manufacturing process makes each gong unique, with no two gongs having identical surfaces. Variations in the hand-hammered patterns and coloration due to the heating process will occur, and this is a testament to our extremely complex work that results in an exceptional sound.
