Chiron as Witness, Not Healer
Chiron does not come to heal you.
It does not arrive with remedies, methods, or solutions.
It comes as witness.
A witness does not intervene.
It does not correct.
It does not require change in order to stay present.
The Chiron gong remains near what has endured without approaching it.
It acknowledges pain without entering it.
It stays with survival without asking it to soften or resolve.

Chiron Does Not Ask You to Reopen the Wound
Chiron does not ask you to go back.
It does not invite revisiting, reliving, or re-experiencing what happened.
There is no return required. No threshold you must cross again.
This sound does not reopen anything.
You are not asked to touch what hurts.
You are not asked to feel more.
You are not asked to be brave, open, or willing.

Depth Without Descent
Neptune offers something different.
This sound does not pull you under.
There is no drop. No downward motion. No pressure to sink.
Depth here is created by widening, not descending.
By allowing more space around what is already present.
You are not asked to leave the surface of yourself.
You are not guided inward. You are not invited to “go deeper.”
If your body associate's depth with overwhelm, with loss of control, or with experiences that went too far, Neptune does

Neptune Does Not Ask for Clarity
This is not a listening meant to organize experience. It is not here to translate sensation into insight, or emotion into meaning.
The Neptune gong holds ambiguity gently.
If your inner world feels foggy, slow, distant, or undefined, nothing here needs to be fixed. The sound does not sharpen edges or demand coherence. It allows things to remain exactly as they are—unfinished, unnamed, unresolved.

Listening Is Optional: Consent in Tibetan Singing Bowl Work
You do not need to listen the entire time.
You do not need to stay near the sound.
You do not need to “work with” the vibration.
Turning the sound off is part of the practice.
Leaving the room is part of the practice.
Needing quiet afterward is part of the practice.

What If Nothing Was Required of You?
This album was composed with that in mind. The sound does not ask anything of you. It does not insist that you listen carefully, relax your muscles, slow your breath, or feel something specific. There is no arc, no rising action, no climactic resolution. There is only invitation—and that invitation is always optional.
