Have you thought about how much freedom and ease you could have if you accepted that you don't know everything?
... And actually you don't need to know.
But from a young age we are expected to know the answers: What do you want to eat? What time do you come home? What are your plans? What do you feel? etc. That's how we need to know endlessly what is happening all the time.
But what if I don't have all the answers, and I don't expect others to?
It is in this place that tension disappears, reconciliation and opening occurs. It's where I accept my imperfections because I am who I am, even when I don't know. I can just be myself there.
In this gong hypnotic journey, we free ourselves from the shackles of need and obligation to always KNOW and accept ourselves as we are.

🙋 ANDRES PŘHJALA, Co-addiction counselor, sound and hypnotherapist
I work as a therapist and counselor in private practice Andres Põhjala Terapia. I came to this profession purely through a personal need to heal mentally and physically.
It has become my heart to unlock and learn about the true nature of myself and others so that we can tap into our true potential and live an enjoyable multifaceted life.
However, our true nature often hides itself under the layer of abuses and traumas. The defense mechanisms of the ego, which were created to protect the true nature, must be gradually opened.
Abuses have created an emotional Bermuda triangle of FEAR, SHAME and GUILT where we lose ourselves and lose all sense of direction. Therefore, in my work I pay a lot of attention to emotions, feelings and self-awareness. I give you a fishing line instead of a fish and with it the responsibility for your own well-being.
By realizing that we have different choices in every life situation, we can stay on course for our life and well-being, and thus be the captains of our own lives.
I specialize in working with people suffering from codependency and addiction because of my own personal experience with these complex psychological conditions. And also in dealing with these conditions. But I also accept people with other problematic situations, guiding them through psychological twists and turns towards self-awareness and healing.
I constantly update myself with modern psychotherapy approaches in order to offer better psychological and spiritual help to my clients, to develop myself as a person and as a therapist.
The field of therapy that I have been practicing with passion lately is sound therapy. Having struggled with anxiety all my life, I felt how easy it is to come into full presence both when participating in a gong journey and playing the gong myself. This is the key to healing. Just lay down and let things happen. In this elevated state, negative emotions cannot drag us down. The body's energy reserves are restored. We reconnect with childlike joy. We see new opportunities. We are able to see our lives from the side. We are faced with choices again.
I truly believe that we always have a choice and that change is possible.
🎶🟡 GONGS AND SOUND HEALING
The gong is an ancient and awe-inspiring instrument with a powerful and all-encompassing sound. Considered to be one of the oldest musical instruments in the world, this sacred instrument is known for its mystical sound and rich overtones. We are accompanied on this journey by 6 different gongs, a shaman's drum and crystal sound bowls.
The vibration of the gongs quickly brings the body into a state where the body, mind and feelings are in a uniform frequency. Immersing in the world of gong sounds, the worries and problems of everyday life dissipate, creating a pleasant moment of relaxation.
The sounds of the gong affect the brain, bringing it into a state of alpha and theta waves, which in turn supports the growth of creativity and strengthens the immune system. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions, words and actions are also vibrations that we emit. With the help of gong sounds, it is possible to organize, change and balance these vibrations.
People who have participated in gong meditations and ceremonies often report feeling rested, refreshed and inspired after the session. They experience new solutions to problems, find answers to questions, and experience inner peace, joy, bliss, and bursts of creativity.
Journey with the Gongs is a meditative session where participants lie or sit comfortably while a sound therapist or musician plays the gongs, creating an immersive sound space. This practice allows for deep relaxation where participants may experience altered states of mind, visions or emotional release. The sound waves help reduce mental activity and enter a meditative, trance-like state where the body and mind can initiate their own healing processes.
Gong sound healing is part of the broader practice of sound therapy, which includes a variety of instruments and techniques for using sound for healing purposes. It is based on the understanding that everything in the universe, including the human body, vibrates at certain frequencies. The deep resonances of the gongs help restore harmony to the body's natural vibrations, relieving physical tension and emotional stress.
Sound healing with gongs can offer a number of potential benefits, including:
🟡 Reducing stress and anxiety. The deeply relaxing effects of the sounds of gongs can help reduce stress and anxiety levels.
🟡 Deeper relaxation and better sleep. The practice can improve sleep quality, helping participants fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply.
🟡 Emotional release. Traveling with the gongs provides a safe environment to express and release emotions.
🟡 Mental clarity and increasing intuition. The meditative state promoted by the gongs helps clarify thoughts and strengthen intuition.
