Gongs


RAVE REVIEWS

When my wife and I first walked into Enerchi, we were delighted and surprised to find a shop in Salem that we could only expect to find in Portland. The store is filled with elegant Asian and contemporary furniture, gorgeous rugs and import items.

We were also very pleased with Julie’s Feng Shui consultation. Instead of the computer output one might expect, Julie took the time to create a hand drawn floor plan of our house that combined Feng Shui principles with contemporary practicality. Inspired by Julie’s suggestions, within three weeks of the consultation, our empty house was well on its way to becoming the home that we could not have foreseen.

Indoors or out in the garden, this bold design will complement any decor.

Chinese instrument makers have made gongs for thousands of years and are deserving of their reputation of making the best in the world. Many processes go into creating the special sound of a Chinese Gong, including fine toning as a result of hand-hammering.

In Buddhism, the gong is sounded at the start and end of each day. In Chinese temples, gongs are struck 108 times because it?s believed that sentient beings have 108 types of worries. The teaching is this ? ?upon hearing the gong, worries will cease, wisdom will grow?.

Nothing has the ability to transport us to another time and place quite like the brilliant resonance of a gong. For over a thousand years, gongs of various types have played an important role in both the religious and secular music of many Asian cultures. Gongs were sounded to chase away evil spirits, warn of invading armies, heal the sick and invoke the spirits of the dead. To be touched by a gong was said to bring happiness and strength. Today, this revered instrument of warriors, emperors, princes and priests adds a special aura to any setting. Handcrafted using traditional methods, gongs bring the ancient wonders of the Far East home.
