SUPPORT

Journeys for Transformative Times

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.

[mix001] - This 47-minute journey was recorded in August 2020 and has been my most trusted breathwork companion ever since.

APUKUNA - Breath Medicine 001

Jon David (aka Apukuna)creates musical journeys from deep within the mountains. Inspired by the beating hearts of the mystical music makers of mother earth...
thats what we feel and we feel so blessed to be able to share this attitude on 'Echoes'.  Thank you APUKUNA!

Open Into Flame
 is a meditation, a prayer and a dance for personal and collective transformation. For the past month, I have been immersed in smoke from fires burning in the mountains to surrounding my home and from the hundreds of others burning nearby here in the Pacific Northwest of Canada/USA. The burning of entire towns, homes and livelihoods has moved me into tears and into deep reflection. What is our Earth Mother asking of us in this time? This music was chosen to tell the story of my own journey into this question. It's an invitation to open into your own flame and to support releasing, transforming and welcoming new beginnings. As Bība shares so eloquently in this mix, “It’s time for a change of skin. This shedding is underway. Snake shows us that this shedding is by fire. The skin burning away is a skin full of injustices, anger and violence. [The fire] is symbolic of moving away from the old ways and making way for the new. In these flames, our anger can now be seen, our shadow revealed by the glowing light. And in this fire now, it’s time to heal. At this time of great shedding, an energy channel is open- a line of light. This line of light is our lineage. Our path to awakening. This energy is open to all beings on earth to come into alignment with the unfolding mystery of our individual and collective evolution.” 
With love - Jon (Apukuna)

APUKUNA - Breath Medicine 002

Huge gratitude to @apukuna for weaving this deep magical healing journey through the NUMAverse <3 

He has been an ally since the very beginning spreading the NUMA vibes throughout his many sets and we felt deeply honored when Jon reached out offering to curate and craft a NUMA Medicine Music tribute mix.

APUKUNA reflecting in his own words:

"This magical record label has become an essential 'instrument' and frequency of the soundscapes and journeys that shape the Apukuna sound. This offering is a gift of gratitude for the medicine that is NUMA. In recent years as I've cultivated the Apukuna sound, the more I immersed into the NUMA releases, the more I found myself witnessing and experiencing the essence of NUMA in its entirety - as a tribe of medicine music makers. This is how this journey unfolded - NUMA: as told by Apukuna - is my experience of NUMA as told through 30 tracks released by the label over its many years. From the mountains of the north in which I reside, to the jungles of the south, I offer this in sacred reciprocity. All my relations. - @Apukuna"


Let's close our eyes and take a deep breath into our hearts together and set the intention to let those sounds and vibrations guide us home.

MIX: Apukuna - Mother I Hear You (Heartculture Movement Podcast repost)

The theme of the 2023 edition of BOOM Festival was Radical Love and I was inspired to curate a mix that would invite the listener to embrace all of oneself. A few hundred beautiful beings at the Prana Shala received the journey and it included the debut of the ambient remix by @intiche of my new singer-songwriter productions as Jon David (@jondavidmusic). The remix of 'I Am' seemed to find a magical placement following the words of Ram Dass and the musical genius of Jon Hopkins and East Forest. 

"Your greatest sadness is when the heart is unacknowledged."
"Acknowledge your heart"
"Your heart is always trying to return home"
"Be patient with your heart"
[As inspired by and spoken through Lee Harris]

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."
