Cheiron ~ the Legend
The centaur Cheiron, son of Cronos and the nymph Philyra, is half human and half horse. He was known to be a great healer and astrologer. He also was well versed in divination. He was teacher and mentor of many of the Greek heroes.
However, he could not heal himself after being wounded by a poisoned arrow and came to offer his immortality to Prometeus such that he could escape from eternal agony. Zeus honored him for this in the constellation of Sagitarius.
The Name Cheiron Wellness
Cheiron observes health and disorder in relationship to our (spiritual) journey through life. According to Cheiron, health and disorder are our teachers on our path; beacons that point the way to greater awareness,to greater wholeness.
Healing occurs as we gain understanding as to what is happening in our life, and through comprehension, can direct our path toward wellness and empowerment.
