The Mercury gong resonates at the approximate musical note of C#. Mercury represents synthesis, communication, inventiveness and speech.

​

The Mercury gong activates a state of mental acuity and clarity, reaching deep into the confines of our nervous system to sharpen and brighten our senses. From the misty and fleeting realm of thoughts and dreams, we are brought into the material world of physical sensation and vocal articulation. In a therapeutic setting, the Mercury gong is used to dispel confusion and mental disorders that are based in repetitive, neurotic thought patterning. The sound bath provided by Mercurial vibrations intercepts a racing mind, improves our ability to discern what is right or wrong from a multiplicity of choices, and awakens a sluggish nervous system, improving bodily coordination and our ability to vocally articulate our needs and desires. Mercurial energy also works toward balancing thyroid function. The movement is from confused and erratic decision-making processes and disjunctive bodily functions to mental clarity, eloquence and physical grace.
