I enjoyed the sound effects especially the wooden flute"... "Felt poorly before I arrived & dreamt I was having a corkscrew barrel it's way through my tubes to bring out the ill parts.

It was very powerful & I saw such intense bright colours & shapes"..Tanya, Hastings "Thank you so much for the absolutely beautiful Gong Bath - so far I have heard back from the others there: 'Amazing!' and 'Superb!'. It was so wonderful to see all your gorgeous instruments and special things laid out.

thanks for your book. I have found your book simple to understand,
and have already used much of the info, a very useful companion"... MB, Wales " Thank-you for writing your gem of a book. I've been through it already and it so nicely pulls together all the bits I've picked up and some forgotten in training with you, Don and BAST over the last two years. So glad you got it all down on paper and didn't delay things by having glossy artwork etc. It needs to be out there and available for us novice Gongers now. So easy to read and follow while packed full of useful information and obviously written from the heart. Many congratulations".... HH, Scotland " Your book - excellent. I've really enjoyed reading it. Nice general coverage of all the basics for gong therapy"...PM, Worcestershire "I am just writing to say I have been glued to your book since it arrived, it is so brilliant to actually have something in depth written about the way of the gongs.

It is so well written - embracing information & education with such clarity & simplicity - well done!"...AK, Lancs. "Sheila Whittaker has done a great service to the sound healing community with her wonderful book, “Sound Healing with Gongs.” She has compiled, consolidated, and organized the teachings of Don Conreaux, Mehtab Benton, and others in a clear and concise format that will be accessible to gong players at any level of experience. Above all, the joy that Sheila derives from playing the gongs for herself and others shines through with every word. I will be teaching my own gong “playshops” in the near future and I intend to use Sheila’s book as my outline and to recommend it to anyone who participates in my classes"...JF, USA
