When I trained with Gong Master Satjit Singh I had the opportunity to play a plurality of different gongs from his beautiful gong collection. When I played Chiron however, I immediately knew it had to be him. This was my gong!!! Given my initials are KK I was also drawn to the symbol in the gong’s centre. Chiron was a centaur and healer in Greek Mythology. His glyph resembles a key and is composed of an “O” and a “K” indicative of his original name, Object Kowal. The glyph is also symbolic of healing from trauma, transitioning from one place to another, transcendence and moving beyond the confines of three-dimensional reality into the higher levels of consciousness and awareness.
