Selección 02 : Introspection

The Apukuna Breath Medicine series of mixes is a gift in support of personal healing, transformation and growth. As one of my teachers reminds - we come to earth with a carefully constructed "care package" known as our breath. [Full series playlist: https://soundcloud.com/apukuna/sets/apukuna-breath-medicine]

Our breath is the most readily accessible medicine available to us. There are many ways to work with our breath and this series is in support of your practice. These particular breath medicine journeys are inspired by my own practice that is most similar to Holotropic Breathwork. For me, the breathing is deeper, a little faster, only through the mouth and only through the chest. Many others can find great benefit through the nose or using the belly. Best advice... experiment and listen to your body. With love from the mountains. @apukuna

[mix002] - This 75-minute journey was recorded in December 2021. The journey includes Native American musicians R. Carlos Nakai (Navajo / Ute), Primeaux & Mike (Oglalla/Dakota (Yankton) Sioux and Ponca & Dine Navajo) and Joanne Shenandoah (Oneida Nation, Wolf Clan, Haudenosaunee). As this breathwork journey was coming together, Joanne Shenanodah breathed her last breath in this life on November 22, 2021. Prayers to Joanne on her journey into ancestorhood.

Life is Cyclical.
We live embedded in cycles: planetary, sun, moon and womb…

Nature teaches us that death is the twin of life, that we must let go in order to create space for the new. To be guardians of a new, regenerative culture on planet earth, life is inviting us to question our fears of slowing down and to let go of our addictions to doing. This is the paradigm that Capitalism’s cancerous hunger for perpetual growth originates from, and the resulting annihilation of our habitats. 

Wholeness is honouring both the inhale and the exhale, the yin and the yang, the inspiration of spring and the shedding of autumn, the exuberance of summer and the stillness of winter.

Alma Omega & Ruby May present ‘Know Your Flow’: a series of mixes for cyclical living. To find out more about Know Your Flow, please visit:

// Know Your Flow / Winter: Music to BLEED to 
 
Ahhhhhh…. finally, it’s time to slowwwwwwwww down….

Rest your weary soul beloved one, allow yourself to let go of the business of doing and accomplishing, and let the sounds envelope you in their soft and velvety blanket of surrender. It’s time for the medicine of Winter.

Yes, it is in this spiraling downwards, this descent into slowing down and the state of being, that we face our emptiness and restlessness. It's in the darkness that the transformation takes place, where that which we surrender to, creates the soil for new evolutions to take place. 

Take heart: softness and release are never far away. Let the thoughts and feelings come and welcome them home. 

Feel the earth underneath you and trust: Winter and the void is where all guidance, all dreams, all creativity and all of life come from. 

What is your greatest prayer? How deeply can you surrender? How soft can you become? 

Allow yourself to be embraced & transformed by the sweet stillness of Winter...

WHAT IS "APUKUNA"? (artist statement)

"Apukuna" is a Quechua word meaning 'mountain spirits'. Following an apprenticeship into Andean cosmology, I chose the name to honor the people, the wisdom, and to invite deeper appreciation for their sacred relationship to land, mountains and the unseen. This relationship is available to all of us who walk this earth and is where much of my musical inspiration emerges."
