During the energy of the Wolf Moon — often seen as a period for deep reflection and confronting inner truths — Smoot’s gong bath transcends meditation, becoming a transformative ritual. The gong’s slow, flowing tones, with their deep low frequencies and lingering harmonics, lead listeners into states of release and renewal, reflecting the moon’s own cycle of letting go and enlightenment.

Healing is deeply personal, but it can also become a bridge to service. My journey with the Chiron Gong began as a way to tend to my own emotional, mental, and energetic well-being. Over time, I realized that the lessons I learned in the gong’s resonance could be extended outward, helping others create their own space for reflection, release, and integration.

Some experiences are too subtle—or too deep—for words. Trauma, emotion, insight, and inner shifts often emerge in ways that language cannot fully capture. In my journey with the Chiron Gong, I’ve discovered that sound itself can act as a compassionate witness, holding space for what we cannot yet articulate, understand, or release.

In a culture that emphasizes quick fixes and measurable progress, it can feel frustrating when emotional, mental, or energetic healing doesn’t seem immediate. Many of us expect to “resolve” challenges in a linear way, but real healing rarely works like that. The Chiron Gong has a way of mirroring this reality. Its sounds rise and fall, layer upon layer, often unexpectedly.

Our nervous system is constantly responding to internal and external cues. Stress, trauma, and unresolved emotions can keep it in a heightened state, often leaving the body tense and the mind restless. Traditional approaches to healing focus on cognitive processing, but sound engages the nervous system in a direct and embodied way, allowing regulation to happen without forcing it.

One of the most profound lessons I’ve learned from working with the Chiron Gong is that healing is rarely about fixing. In a world that prizes solutions and outcomes, it can feel counterintuitive to simply listen, witness, and allow.

Healing often begins with one simple, yet profound need: to feel safe. Before transformation, before release, before integration, there must be a container—a space where emotions, thoughts, and sensations can exist without judgment or pressure. For me, the Chiron Gong became that container, offering safety, presence, and a gentle invitation to explore my own inner landscape.

Chiron’s story is not about erasing pain, but about learning to live with awareness, dignity, and inner strength. The Chiron Gong embodies this archetype through its tonal character. Its sound often feels introspective, layered, and emotionally nuanced. Rather than pushing outward, it draws attention inward—toward what is ready to be acknowledged, held, and integrated.
