No matter how experienced a facilitator may be, they cannot feel what you feel. They cannot sense your edges. They cannot track your capacity. They cannot know what safety means inside your nervous system. Only you can. This is not a responsibility to perform well. It is a permission to decide.

People often ask what is supposed to happen during sound healing. They want to know what they should feel. They want to know if they’re doing it right. They want to know how they’ll know it’s working. These questions make sense. Many of us have learned that healing looks a certain way—calm, emotional release, insight, lightness, peace.

The Venus Gong does not arrive loudly. It does not demand attention or impose force. It enters softly, steadily, and with an intelligence that feels ancient and intimate at the same time. Venus, in mythology and archetype, represents love, beauty, embodiment, receptivity, and relationship. But the Divine Feminine is not simply softness or grace—it is depth, rhythm, intuition, and the capacity to hold paradox. The Venus Gong carries this complexity in sound.
