S4. Ep2. Gong Master Athena Ko Sound, stillness and the healing power of gong meditation for sleep

London’s own “Gong Girl,” Athena Ko, joins Dr. Sophie Bostock to share how sound meditation can open pathways to deep rest and mental calm. Together they will explore how gong baths and sound healing can support sleep, soothe an overactive mind, and anchor us in presence. Athena is one of London’s leading gong masters and meditation teachers. As founder of The Gong Girl, she specialises in guiding people, especially those under high stress, into clarity, calm and restoration through sound and meditation. With past work teaching meditation in psychiatric wards and a background bridging both the corporate and spiritual worlds, Athena brings a rare blend of groundedness and depth. In this episode, Athena will teach you how to “listen yourself to sleep” and take you on a short guided sonic meditation using gong and vibration to help you drift into rest.
