Meinl 24″ Flower of Life Gong Meinl Sonic Energy’s Flower of Life Gongs are handcrafted in Germany in the European gong-making tradition. The gong craftsmen manufacture these gongs to respond with exceptional sensitivity in all playing situations. The long hours spent handcrafting the metal gives them their intriguing tone. It’s relaxing and atmospheric. The Flower of Life tuning represents the origin of all things through sacred geometry. The collaboration of numbers, shapes, and vibrations belongs to the oldest myths of mankind. It is the strive to connect with our origin and to understand ourselves. The frequencies of the Flower of Life Collection are one step on the journey to this goal. The Flower of Life Gong is the sonic metaphor of the creative primordial sound. Please note: This is a handcrafted instrument forged by heating the metal alloy to great temperatures, then hand hammering the surface to achieve a desired pitch and tone. Our handmade process makes each gong unique, with no two gongs having identical-looking surfaces. Variations in hand hammer patterns and coloration from the heating process will occur, and it’s a testament to our highly intricate work that results in exquisite sound. The Flower of Life symbol The “Flower of Life” consists of 19 circles and symbolizes the origin of all being and embodies the harmonious measure of the earth. The circles are interpreted both as the cycle of life and as a common progression. It is used as a well-known energy image to connect with one’s origins and understand oneself. There is more than one concept concerning the order of frequencies. It is up to the holistic practitioner to decide which of the existing concepts fits their own talents and profile best. It’s part of the Meinl Sonic Energy ethos to provide professional instruments along the spectrum of options within contemporary holistic use of sound and music. The Flower of Life concept is a perfect example. Especially for those cosmic, sound music activists who enjoy pure, intuitive and inspired practices. There is just one frequency being 128 hertz, which is the exact reflection of a proper note C. This note was described as being the central tone of creation by the legendary philosopher Rudolf Steiner, as well as the famous Italian composer Guiseppe Verdi. The tone C at 128 hertz can be looked upon as the tone of the center of ultimate balance. From there you can go into any direction and then get back to the center again. If we analyze 128 hertz from the perspective of the Icosmo Matrix calculation we find the frequency exactly on the middle of the color band scale with an analog expression of a nice green color. Stay in balance As this frequency is tuned into a perfect symphonic type of Gong, its sound covers all of the possible spectrum of the unfolding sound. Any sound meditation with the Meinl Sonic Energy Flower of Life Gongs brings the listener back to their personal state of balance and harmony. They set an impulse of being connected with the harmonies of creation and life itself. The visual combination of the geometrical design of the Flower of Life and its frequency, heighten the morphogenetic resonance effect of this universal design of positive life force. For those integral sound partners who wish to work in group improvisations in order to amplify the cosmic resonance effect, the Meinl Sonic Energy Flower of Life Collection provides an upper octave of the Flower of Life Gongs as an analog resonating Energy Chime. The purpose is to create the most harmonious vibrational sound field possible. A sonic energy space of cosmic harmony for everyone involved.
