The Earth is You. You are the Earth.
When you realize there is no separation, you fall completely in love with this beautiful planet!

Earth Day Celebration Labyrinth Walk & Gong Song
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Parish Hall, 224 N East Ave., Fayetteville, AR
Tuesday, April 22, 2025
5:30 – 7:30 pm

We often forget that the planet we are living on has given us all the elements that make up our bodies. The water in our flesh, our bones and all the microscopic cells inside our bodies all come from the earth and are part of the earth. The earth is not just the environment we live in. We are the earth and we are always carrying her within us.

As we mindfully walk on the labyrinth we can send our love to our Mother Earth with every step. How do we do this? There are many ways. When we practice beautifully walking the path, we massage the earth with our feet and plant seeds of joy with each step. We can visualize flowers blooming under each step the moment our foot touches the ground leaving behind beautiful fields of flowers everywhere we walk. Imagine kissing the earth with your feet. The possibilities are endless!!

To further enhance the experience, you will be walking among the the mysterious sounds and vibrations of Gongs, Singing Bowls and other mystical instruments. This is a great visceral reminder that everything in the universe is vibrating and the vibrations we send out affect the whole.

Sending this blessing in community reminds us of our powerful connection to each other and to the earth. Even though the labyrinth at St. Paul’s is indoors, we can still feel the connection to the earth beneath the floor. I hope you will join us on this special day!

Come to the Parish Hall between 5:30 and 7:00 pm. Being fashionably late will help create a more spacious walk. It takes about 30 minutes to complete the walk. Chairs will be available for you to sit and enjoy.

Blessings,
Jamie

Gong bath, Gongs, Labyrinth, Meditation, mindfulness, Shamanism, Singing bowls, Sound Bath, wellness, Yoga

Please save Tuesday, April 22, 2025, for the Earth Day Labyrinth and Gong Song!!!
It will be at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church from 5:30 – 7:30pm. More details soon.

THE BIG NEWS 🥁 is I will be bringing my 40” gong I affectionately call the ”Big Kahuna”! I recently purchased a portable stand for it, so now the Big Kahuna can join in the soundscape! (I will still be bringing the other 4 gongs you have seen/heard/felt before.)

Thich Nhat Hahn said, “When we practice walking meditation beautifully, we massage the earth with our feet and plant seeds of joy and happiness with each step.” I hope to see you on the Path of the Labyrinth!

Blessings,
Jamie

New Gong & Workshop

Gong bath, Gongs, kundalini, Meditation, mindfulness, Shamanism, Singing bowls, Sound Bath, wellness, Yoga, , , , , ,

A few days ago I went to Memphis to attend a Sound Mediation with Mike Tamburo. It was amazing!!!

The next day I had a private Sound Journey with Nancy Pettit, co-owner of the Memphis Drum Shop & Gong Chamber. That was amazing too!!!

Then, I was taken on a magical shopping trip in the Gong Chamber with Jim Pettit, the other co-owner. I choose a 34” Paiste Symphonic gong that sounds wonderful with my 32” Wind gong that you are so familiar with.

This Saturday, 11/11, I will debut the new gong along with my other gongs, singing bowls, bells etc. at the Arkansas Yoga Center, Kundalini Yoga and Gong Song workshop. There are only 2 spots left, so if you’re interested please sign up soon!

I hope to see you soon and share our good vibrations!

Blessings and Namasté.

Spread Your Wings

Gong bath, Gongs, kundalini, Meditation, mindfulness, Shamanism, Singing bowls, Sound Bath, wellness, Yoga

Spread Your Wings!

So often we feel constricted when we hear disturbing news or the difficulties our friends and family are facing. Sometimes our own challenges can cause us to hold our breaths and tighten our shoulders. And sometimes we may feel like we just need to “get outside our box” and experience something new.

People have frequently commented that participating in a Gong Song has left them feeling open and expanded!! The daily tensions and worries seem to melt away with the many sounds and vibrations of the Gongs, Singing Bowls, Bells and other instruments. Feeling this expanded state during a Gong Song reminds our body/mind/spirit that this is how we want to be, and we can more easily return there on our own.

I invite you to join me and Spread Your Wings during this expansive Gong Song, Thursday, October 19, 6-7:30 pm at Day by Day Healing Center.  The journey will begin with deep breathing, setting an intention and settling into the soundscape.  A gentle return (and chocolate!) will complete this magical time together!

Gong Song as Remover of Obstacles

Gong bath, Gongs, Meditation, mindfulness, Shamanism, Singing bowls, Sound Bath, wellness, Yoga

I love the image of Ganesh, the elephant headed Hindu deity that clears away obstacles and opens the way for us to move forward in Life. It has been my experience that participating in a Gong Song can have that rejuvenating affect too! The multidimensional sounds and vibrations of the Gongs, Singing Bowls, Bells and other instruments calms our chatty minds and soothes our bodies. This relaxed state allows our deeper, intuitive wisdom to bubble up, and solutions emerge to situations that we have been pondering and wanting to change.

I invite you to join me for this transformative Gong Song, Thursday, September 21, 6-7:30 pm at Day by Day Healing Center. The journey will begin with deep breathing, setting an intention and settling into the soundscape. A gentle return (and chocolate!) will complete this magical time together!

 Lenten Gong Song

Friday, February 24, 2023

5:30 – 6:30 pm, 

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church

You are invited to walk the Stations of the Cross while Jamie White plays her ensemble of gongs, singing bowls and bells. Their otherworldly sounds and vibrations will enhance your experience of walking this sacred path. 

You are also welcome to sit in the pews and enjoy the meditative state that the Gong Song helps to facilitate.  It will be a wonderful opportunity to deeply relax and tune in to your “still small voice”.

Feel free to drop in anytime between 5:30 and 6:30.

Evening Prayer will take place before the Gong Song, at 5:00 pm, in the Chapel.

Last year was a busy one for me, after returning from India I moved from my house in town to one Joe built for us in the country. As a result, I didn’t have the time or mental space to offer Gong Song Meditations.

Now, 2020, I’m once again back from India and ready to share the wonder and joy of Singing Bowls and Gongs!!! I gathered all of the 31 Singing Bowls I’ve collected over the years and made groups that “play well together”. I’m soooooo excited!

My first offering is in the works for mid March—be on the lookout for details coming soon!

Blessings and Namasté,

Moving to the Other Side: Kundalini yoga, Chanting and Gong Song’

I am sooooo excited to be collaborating with Jimmye Whitfield again! Come join us for a life changing experience with Kundalini Yoga, chanting and a Gong Song.

Would you like to break away from patterns from the past that no longer serve you? It’s easy to move to a higher frequency using breath, movement and sound!

Jimmye, in her loving and skillfull way, will lead a Kriya set, as taught by Yogi Bhajan. This set is designed to be a total tune-up, an inner awakening, as you move your body and breath together.

The chant will be the Kirtan Kryia, and is the one Yogi Bhajan said would carry us through the Aquarian Age! “Saa Taa Naa Maa” is powerful!

The session will wind down as Jamie creates a cocoon of sacred sound currents with her ensemble of Gongs, Singing Bowls and Bells. As you settle onto your mat and drop into deep relaxation, you will experience the grace of Higher Intelligence, integrating the shifts that occurred during this afternoon of oneness!

When: Saturday, December 1, 2:00 – 4:30 pm

Where: Be One Yoga Studio, 1041 N Garland Avenue, Fayetteville, AR

Cost: $30

Reserve Your Spot: beoneyogafayetteville.com

Be sure to bring a water bottle, mat, pillow and blanket.

Namasté,

Jamie
