The Jupiter gong offers something different. Jupiter is associated with the benevolent father—not authority, not command, but support without intrusion. When this gong sounds, widening does not feel like being examined. It feels like being backed. There is no sense that you are doing it wrong. No feeling that you should be more open, more confident, more joyful.

In many sound spaces, staying is treated as success. Staying present. Staying through sensation. Staying until the end.
