Chinese Gong & Small Eternal Present Stand—12"
The Eternal Present stand set holds a 12-inch Chinese gong chosen from 10 styles and includes a traditional Chinese gong mallet.
Dark Star gongs combine thick metal and a deep rim with an unlathed rim around a fully lathed interior. Subatomic gongs add a second lathed band on the outer rim of the Chau form. Chocolate Drop gongs are Chau-form gongs with the outer dark ring lathed off, leaving a golden sheen.
The Eternal Present stand is carved, cut and stained hardwood. Gong weights run 1 lb 6 oz to 3 lbs 10 oz depending on style. Activities often associated with creativity, learning, and leisure can also play a meaningful role in cognitive and emotional well-being.
Reading, writing, listening to music, and playing an instrument do more than provide entertainment or creative expression. Research suggests that these activities can help individuals explore, express, understand, and regulate emotional experiences. Music has been associated with emotion-regulation processes and mood management (Peters et al., 2024; Chong et al., 2024), expressive writing has been linked to emotional processing and reflection (Pennebaker, 2018), and reading has been associated with emotional understanding, empathy, and perspective-taking (Rezende & Shigaeff, 2023; Luperini, 2021). These activities also engage cognitive systems involved in language, attention, and memory (Kunert et al., 2015; Maess et al., 2001; Patel, 2003; Yurgil et al., 2020). Musical and linguistic activities draw on shared neural resources for processing structured information, including syntax (Kunert et al., 2015; Maess et al., 2001; Patel, 2003), while music training has been associated with working-memory processes and executive functioning (Yurgil et al., 2020). Reading, writing, and music may support emotional well-being and cognitive development while strengthening communication, memory, attention, emotional understanding, and self-regulation.
