Pedra Branca - Kalahari (Kalya Scintilla Remix)

"We are being shaken out of the old system. The energy can pull us down if we're not moving it through." 

Integrating live vocals (@jondavidmusic), percussion, and shakers, we journeyed deep within, and came out renewed, transformed and connected. Soooooo MUCH LOVE to the dancefloor who nourished what became of this set. The collective vibe from the dancefloor makes what's found in this live recording impossible to reproduce in a studio! Σας ευχαριστώ (Thank you) Cyprus. "Our hearts are always trying to return home."

Jorge Brea: Consistency Is Your Secret Weapon

el amor de los lagos 𓁹 ecstatic dance lake chapala, mexico, o5/11/2o25

A healing journey through sound into the Root Chakra , our first chakra.  
Thought and feelings "I AM" 
Vocal sound "LAM"
Colour "Red"
Element "Earth"
The first chakra, called muladhara, is located at the base of the spine. “Muladhara” means root, and is associated with the earth element, linked to your ability to dig in and feel firmly rooted in your life. Its associated color is red, hence its links to the earth. 

This energy center is associated with your sense of security, familiar relationships and your feeling of home, When energy is flowing through the first chakra, you feel firmly grounded in yourself and the world around you.
