THE SOUND OF SILENCE.
Baslow Village Hall -
Gongs by Julia - Community Gong Bath.

INNER STILLNESS IS THE KEY TO OUTER STRENGTH.

Everything that is created comes out of silence.
Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence.
Your words come out of this void.
Your very essence emerged trom emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness. …. Wayne Dyer

The idea of being in stillness if only for a moment is counter-cultural to our fast paced, always on the go world.

Multi-tasking is the norm, long to-do lists the standard and every second of the day is scheduled with an activity that needs to be done.

But learning and practicing stillness will in time make you aware that there is a higher power at work in the world.
You will know that your story is part of a much larger story that is unfolding.

You become the co-creator with a force that while bigger and more powerful than you, still conspires on your behalf.

STILLNESS WITHIN IS YOUR SUPER POWER.

That “take a breathe and pause” moment will;

*Anchor you into the present.

*Allow you to hear your intuition.

*Improve how you listen.

*Help you gain clarity, creativity and confidence.

*And finally, when a challenge arrives you’re there calm, still and prepared.❤️

Here’s to you rising into your greatness!

HAPPINESS IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF HEALTH. ❣️

Wellbeing is an active, lifelong process of learning what makes you feel balanced and well in all areas of your life.

It’s not just the absence of disease or illness, it’s more about how you feel about yourself and your life, in short wellbeing is happiness and life satisfaction.

So, what better way to top up your wellness levels than to spend the day with Peaky Pacas walking the heather covered moors, partaking in an outdoor yoga class, with Outdoor Yoga Peak District, having lunch in the sun and finishing off the day with a bespoke sound immersion with Gongs by Julia😊 ❤️

THANK YOU FOR THE INVITE GUYS ❣️, it was the best day.

“Your body holds deep wisdom. Trust in it. Learn from it. Nourish it. Watch your life transform and be healthy.”

Work life balance .....
SORTED☀️☀️

Our Gongs by Julia Nottingham Community Gong Bath on Friday night was beyond DEEP!
Gongs need to be experienced to be understood. The depths they take you are hard to comprehend, the mind cannot compete with a well played Gong, it gives up and the Soul is then heard.

AN INSIDE JOB.❤️

The truth is simple, it has no story...

If you drop all the stories and enter the void of silence, the truth emerges like the sun at dawn, naturally and effortlessly.

The TRUTH is silent.

It is a blank sheet of paper. The difficulty arises when all we are asked to do is just contemplate it, stay within the stillness, and smile, observe, take ownership and forgive.
Forgive yourself for believing you were what you were not.
Contemplate and let yourself be loved, know only that love will arise naturally from that silence.

"It is not you who loves but it is Love that loves you, when the mind is silent.” ……. JULIA ❣️

We look forward to seeing you all again in September.🙏

SLOW DOWN❣️

The theme for our Gongs by Julia Community Gong Bath in Derby on Sunday was to gently prepare for the planetary festival unfolding in August. ✨

A time for reflection and introspection.

To slow the pace so we may feel into our deepest Soul desires and guidance.
A moment for manifestation, to bring that which we deserve into existence.💫

To look beyond our current reality.

Slowly reflect during the retrograde and redirect our visions, intentions, and manifestations towards that authentic life of joy we know we desire. 🪐

Go gentle through August friends, we look forward to seeing you all again in September. 🙏

Our Gongs by Julia Community Gong Bath in Nottingham is just around the corner and we’d love it if you would honour us with your company.

It’s a unique sanctuary of stillness for the Soul, a momentary “off switch” in the busyness of life.❣️

⭕️Long Post Warning, a cup of tea may be needed. ☕️🫖.⭕️

OVERTHINKING IS THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF UNHAPPINESS.

❣️ The problem is rarely the problem.

99% of the harm is caused in your head, by you and your thoughts.
Most of the time, the problem isn't the problem. The way you think about the problem is.😵‍💫

❣️ Avoid self-rejection.

Never overthink yourself into self-rejection.

You don’t think you deserve that opportunity, or you can’t learn something new, maybe you believe that what you have to say isn’t worth listening to or you’ll be ridiculed because the idea is “out there “, DO IT, SAY IT, or TRY IT ANYWAY!

❣️ Silence and time.

The truth is, most problems aren't solved with more thinking, they're solved with less.
You'll find most of the answers you're looking for in silence.
If you can't solve a problem, take a break and stop trying.

❣️ An important question.

When you start criticising yourself for past mistakes, or seeing disaster around every corner, ask yourself:

"Is there anything I can do right now to change the past or to positively influence the future."

If the answer is yes, do it, take action.
If the answer is no, be at peace let it go.

You have to take action or let it go, everything else is self-harm.

❣️ The power of now.

You're not going to overthink your way to a better future.
You're not going to overthink your way to a better past.
All you have is NOW.

And what you do with NOW can make right of your past and make good of your future.
Make peace with yesterday, let go of tomorrow, grab hold of now.

❣️ Fact check yourself.

Fact check your own thoughts.
Your thoughts will create scenarios in your mind that reflect your insecurities, fears and worries.

❣️ Acceptance is peace.

No amount of anxiety will change your future, no amount of regret will change your past.
Peace is found in acceptance:

• Accept imperfection.
• Accept uncertainty.
• Accept the uncontrollable.

You don't have to understand, tolerate or even forget something, but if you want peace, you must accept it.

❣️ Health starts in your mind.

You can go to the gym, eat healthy, do yoga, drink water and take vitamins, but if you don't directly confront the negativity in your thoughts, you will never truly be 'healthy'.

Our health isn't measured on scales, by the size of our muscles or by the width of our waist.
True health is measured by the quality of our thoughts and the peacefulness of our mind.

HEALTH STARTS IN THE MIND. Change your relationship with yours.❣️

LIONS GATE PORTAL. ⭐️

The Lion’s Gate Portal opens when Sirius is closest to the Earth and aligns with the Sun in Leo.

Sirius is also known as the Dog Star and is the brightest star in the night sky.

In astrology, Sirius is linked to our higher spiritual aspirations and the elevated karmic journey of our soul.

So this small window in time is where we will be able to illuminate our true path and where we can reach our own optimum, unique spiritual growth.

We are going to be shown opportunities for healing, manifestation, and enlightenment. And we will be able to broaden our mental and spiritual horizons, allowing us to integrate a new level of consciousness!

But we must be willing to transform and shed a past version of ourselves.
Old patterns must be broken and karmic loops that have been inhibiting us from evolving spiritually must be cut.

Over the next few weeks treat all encounters, opportunities and situations as serendipitous.

🪐 Could there be a deeper message or lesson for you?

🪐 What flashes of inspiration are arriving and where do you feel a deep transformative shift?

🪐 Are you having any intuitive insights or boosts of energy that will help facilitate your healing?

COME OUT OF
THE MASSES.
STAND ALONE
LIKE A LION
AND LIVE YOUR LIFE
ACCORDING TO
YOUR OWN LIGHT.

“We must trust that we will receive what it is we need, not always what we want”.❣️Gongs by Julia

Quality “YOU” time - A Gong Bath is a perfect reset button, removing your stress and anxieties, restoring a much-needed balance to your mind, body and spirit.

An immersion in sacred sound, a moment to deeply relax, to have your mind quietened and your spirit at peace.

The sounds created by the Gong wash over you as you lay warm and comfortable on the floor.

Like ripples created from a pebble skipping over a pond, Gong Sound gently reverberates over, around and through your entire body to calm, relax and soothe. Your heart rate slows, blood pressure lowers slightly and your breath is restored to its natural rhythm.

CAPRICORN FULL MOON ♑️🌕
21st July
Death & Rebirth.
Accumulation & Closure.

Our Community Gong Bath held at Baslow Village Hall on Friday was the beginning of something special, a new chapter thanks to the full moon and her energies of change.

We came to the crossroads of choice.

Aware of our way of being human. Of our choices , patterns and behaviours. How we had always allowed life to unfold and to become stuck in old outdated ways.

An opportunity given to learn the lessons, allow the endings, make the changes and take back the power lost. Create a life which lives through us, where we no longer just existed but LIVED!

Which path would we choose? ❣️

A very special evening with “visitors” yet again actively taking part in our Gong Bath at Baslow. 😉

A heart felt THANK YOU to each and everyone of our friends, old and new who chose to join us on Friday, our community is certainly growing and for that we are super proud and immensely grateful.🙏

See you all next month. ❤️Gongs by Julia

BE STILL & LISTEN FROM WITHIN.❣️

The secret of physical and mental health does not come from complaining about the past, nor in worrying about the future, but in living in the present moment with wisdom, peace and happiness.

Life can only take place in the present moment.
And if you lose that moment you lose your life.

To love and live in the past is just memory.

To love and live in the future is fantasy.

Only here and now can you truly love and live completely and authentically.

When you take care of THIS MOMENT you take care of all the time you have remaining. ❤️ Gongs by Julia

❣️A heartfelt “THANK YOU” goes to each and everyone who chose to spend their Sunday evening in the company of our Gongs.

Gongs by Julia traveled out once again into the Peak District on Sunday morning to visit the picturesque sun drenched village of Youlgrave. ☀️🌼🌸

This event was the pure definition of COMMUNITY. ☀️🌸🌼🌻🌺

A coming together of several surrounding villages to share in an event that for some was a new experience and for others it was a return to their journey of last month. ☀️🌸🌼🌻🌺

A heartfelt thank you to all who chose to join us this morning. The village was alive with excitement this weekend and it’s was an honour to be apart of it , we look forward to seeing you again next month. ☀️🌸🌼🌺

“The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” Julia ❣️

CAPRICORN FULL MOON ♑️
June 21st

🌙This is the first of two consecutive full moons in Capricorn, (the second is in July on the 21st.)
It is a very rare occurrence for there to be two full moons in the same sign in one year, so the moon energy for the months of June and July are extremely powerful.

🌙This Full Moon brings a grounding energy which is guiding you to take control and responsibility of our own happiness.
Reminding you that you are the one who is in charge of your life.
So take this time to get real with yourself and take a look at the repeating cycles in your life that are preventing you from living the life of your dreams.

🌙Think of this moon as a mini wake up call, that is showing you that if you want there to be change than you need to be brave enough to break cycles and create the change.

CAPRICORN ALSO REPRESENTS THE PAST.

🌙As the moon sits in this purposeful sign of Capricorn, this energy can hover around the time of the Full Moon.
You may find yourself stuck in a loop of past wounds.
Let yourself feel whatever comes up and then release yourself of the hurt - cry, scream, write or dance.
Do whatever it is that calls you in the moment.❣️

JOURNAL. 📝

♑️ What needs to change?

♑️ What cycle keeps repeating itself?

♑️ What limiting beliefs do I need to let go off?

STAND STILL. ☀️

Gongs by Julia and Baslow Village Hall came together on Friday evening, the night of the Summer Solstice, to celebrate life, abundance and each other.

Gently the doorway into the second half of the year was opened and strength was drawn from the sun as a light was shone on the months just past.
It was a time to reflect and rest, replenish and rejoice and prepare for joyous days ahead. ☀️

“As the sun spirals its longest dance, may you be blessed.
And as nature shows bounty and fertility,
may you live with loving intent.

May you draw the summer sun into your Soul and hold her power high within.
And as Solstice energy courses through your veins and connects you to ancients, ancestors, and all who have gone before, may you know your path and fulfill your truest destiny.” …

GONGS BY JULIA 🙏❣️☀️

Come celebrate solstice with us.
A moment to “stand still” and look back on the first half of this year. ☀️
A portal into change, release and new beginnings.

“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom." …..
Lao Tzu

In a world full of expectations, living authentically can feel impossible.
It feels easier to have your path planned for you. But, in the long run, this will only hold you back from living a fulfilling life.

There doesn’t have to be huge changes in your life, just a cultivation of self-awareness and self love.
These silent internal warriors help you make decisions that are better for you.
You become less stressed about what people think or whether you made the right choice.

We often go through our lives, without really giving a thought to who we are authentically and this leads to confusion, a wastage of time, and we lose important opportunities.

Once you make the decision to firstly like and then ultimately love who you are, quirks and all,
it becomes possible to know where you are heading, what your goals are and what is the best route towards achieving them.
You get the life YOU deserve. ❣️

IT’S YOUR LIFE MAKE SURE YOU LIVE IT YOUR WAY. ❣️Gongs by Julia
