Gong and Sandalwood

Gong. gong -  I lay on a mat  warm under a thick red blanket,  I heard nothing but the sound of the gong through the still and chilly air - not even my own snoring.  Joan and, our Host Maggie and I were under the cone at the Mount Romance Sandalwood Factory.  The dome isn't heated so the inside temperature was the same as the drizzle soaked day outside at 50 + degrees or so.  That I could hear the gong but not my snoring seems strange; perhaps our recent transit time of 48 hours from Punta Gorda to Albany Australia played some part in the experience. 

From the Mount Romance website - The Cone, The Gong and the Bowl is the original experience of combining Gongs and Sandalwood in a sixteen sided cone featuring celestial skies. The orchestral harmonies of the Gongs wash over and through you producing a positive effect on many different levels. The mind relaxes into deep peace. The cells of the body are gently massaged by the resonance, helping to release old tensions.


At the Sandalwood Factory sandalwood oil is extracted from both native sandalwood and Indian sandalwood by steam distillation. The factory store sells all sorts of sandalwood oil containing products. Of course Joanne bought some.
