AYAHUMA - Connection to Spirit

"From the Womb of the Earth"

Sharing new music which is the third part of the creative spiritual trilogy I created with the amazing dancer, performer, healer and teacher, @danielsonicrojas that I met in the magical Sound and Silence Gathering.

Special thanks to @steffenki_sonic_sourcery for the help with the mixing of the sound.

"From the Womb of the Earth" is about listening to what is happening in the deepest core of our beings, and having the courage to break free from crystallized patterns, old wounds, unconscious fears, trappings of conditionings, and grow, transforming on a visceral level, activating Will and Intention.
Sometimes growth is ugly, but a necessary death is always beautiful.
Sometimes we just have to put some Kali in the mix, to fully embody our pain back into love, let ourselves desintegrate into particles, and make surrender our prayer for trust in life to be able to receive and walk in purpose towards the new and towards the true ecstasy of being alive in alignment with our soul.
We need to learn how to give birth to ourselves, as many times as its necessary and learn the way back into the womb of our own soul.
Dont walk backwards - the way is inward and upwards, grounded, and growing in the spiral of evolution.

"Life is an andless lesson of letting go." Rumi

“And the Day Came When the Risk to Remain Tight In a Bud Was More Painful Than the Risk It Took to Blossom.” – Anais Nin

From the Womb of the Earth

Times are intense, purging is essential.
Kambo medicine is miraculous.
This is a experimental and intentional sound healing journey channeling the spirit of Kambo opening a sound portal for transformation through frequencies sweeping the cells. It was done in one take, in a completely intuitive, experimental, improvisational and intentional way.
It was done using only voice.
Plunging into the darkness, dissolving all pain with love, blasting the heart wide open to receive miraculous blessings and aligment.
Chiron is retrograde so our pain body is being activated full on, times are fertile for questioning, reflection, and integration for further growth and expansion.
Karmic and ancestral patterns are fractals that keep repeating until we are able to identify them and then make the choice and decision to grow out of our conditionings, we are breaking the crystallized ice that has kept us underwater, suffocated and drowing in unconscious behaviours for far too long.
We are merging and emerging again to drink the light of life through our eyes, and drink the golden nectar of love with our heart open wide as the horizon.

Rapture Fractals of Kambo Medicine

The transfiguration is a pivotal moment, and the setting on the mountain is presented as the point where human nature meets God: the meeting place of the temporal and the eternal, with the human being itself as the connecting point, acting as the bridge between heaven and earth.

Wolf’s medicine includes death and rebirth, facing death with dignity and courage, Spirit teaching, guidance in dreams and meditations, instinct linked with intelligence, social and family values, steadfastness, skill in protection of self and family, outwitting enemies, ability to pass unseen, taking advantage of change.

Transfiguration

A moment of Integration trhough channeled intuitive singing.
We are water. 
Care for the water.

A tantric and sufi music jam with my ethereal dream band.
Please listen with good headphones or else you will miss out on a lot of details and more low and subtle frequencies.

A soft rhythm to move organically to and a deep bass line to feel from the womb. Ethereal possibilities for the voice of the cello - voice of desire and devotion.
Deep and subtle. The Cosmic poetry of love making.
Music starts where words end. These harmonies speak from that place of surrender. Work in progress.

Meaning: The sacredness of experiencing love as a journey of remembrance of oneness.

Purpose: to express depth, sacredness, transcendance

This is an instrumental track that I composed and created using some LABS virtual instruments like drums, piano, cello, violin and some synths.

Cosmic Poetry

"It's arriving, it's arriving, the new time is arriving
It's being born, it's being born, the new world is being born
Sing, with Joy, Dance, with Joy."
This was the last collaboration Daniel and I did together and today it is seeing the light of day, just as his body has left this beautiful earth.
Today, he left this world, but his Spirit is flying free and since the title of the song is called "Arriving", I feel it makes sence to welcome him into the spiritual realm in this way, so that we remember his magic, his musical genius, his childlike joy and innocence, and his spontaneous crazy self which brought me to ecstatic laughter many times. I will miss you Daniel. I am happy we got to create this before you left. May your Spirit live on in the Ecstatic Joy of your Music.

After the End, the New begins

A live take of my version of "Jurema Oh Jurema" by Josii Yakecan.
Octaved guitar for bass, some fingerpicked chords, a heart beat, celestial harmonies and a lead singer with a stuffy noise and a cold.
This was all done in one take, no editing, just directly from Loop Station. Listen with good headphones or you will miss a lot of frequencies.

Jurema Oh Jurema - Loop version

A few days ago I channeled this spontaneous and intuitive sound healing journey, with the energies of the new moon, and while praying with sound, connected with the collective field and meditating on personal processes.
It's a delicate moment in our planet, life is crying, and we really need to put our feet in the ground, and ground our visions, and heal the land and plant trees to help restore the balance in our biosphere.
I truly believe music has the power to inspire us all, to connect us to a higher force, and this force will guide our acts, to make shit happen and put it into practice, beyond all the preaching, and all the mind chatters and duality, back to unity and the simplicity of heart-centered consciousness.
We are both asked to surrender ( heal our wounds, work on shadow aspects to grow in light frequencies) and, at the same, become empowered to do what needs to be done, to follow the path of our higher purpose, serving life with absolute unconditional love.
When I created this track, or, should I say, when this track was creating me, I set the intention to move all the energies that need to be moved, with no-judgement, no ideas of anything, just like in a ritual or a ceremony, inviting truth so that redemption can truly take place.
Everything you hear is purely intuitive, as it happened in the moment, except for the track with strings in the beggining, which is by Hammock, and was  what inspired to start this sonic dive/flight in the first place, because when I heard it, it truly opened and comforted by heart back into sacred stillness with blessed tears of surrender, redemption and grattitude, opening a portal for this channeling to take place.
This sound journey was created in the spirit of meditating with what is, listen deeply and with humbleness, surrender to the silence, and allowing myself to feel every emotion whether it would be crying or laughing.
Ayahuma is a master plant with which I have dieted, while on a ayahuasca retreat and it helps us to connect with our essence, so I did an invocation of this tree's energy in the introduction and ouverture of this journey.
The track in the beggining is by Hammock, and the rest, is all created by me, with voice, and looping with ableton, the kick drum represents the shamanic drum, the heartbeat, to bring the awareness, that our gentle meditative body movements can also be medicine.
In the end we have the charango, a celestial instrument, to bring joy, elevation, and symbolises the pure celebration of feeling a reconnection to Source, and Oneness Remembrance.
This is still very much a work in progress, I still have to improve the mix, but I feel in my heart I need to share this energetic tranmission in this moment here and now, and I hope it resonates and helps whoever needs clarity, healing, soul alignment, strength, faith and inspiration for the chapters ahead in our planet, which will require absolute trust and absolute love and absolute integrity from all of us.
May our tears of compassion open our hearts so they never close again.
May unconditional love be embodied in acts and attitudes of kindness and respect.
May we all come home in ourselves, releasing all the energies that need to be released and transmuted from our field.
May we breathe deeply, and feel timelessness.
May we hear the calling of our ancestors.
May we manage our energies and attune our personal frequencies, to attune to vibrating love, as a state of being, loving ourselves, and being able to manage our boundaries and interactions when they are not healthy and do not serve our purpose.
May we see through every illusion and let it shatter, listen to our intuition and take back and stay in our power, listen to the needs of our soul, follow our hearts, connect with our will power, remembering we have everything we need inside of us with our own unique connection to the divine.
It's ok not to be ok. It's ok to ask for help.
We are loved. We are love. We are being guided. 
I surrender.

Silencia - meditative movement new moon sound healing journey

We are made of so many different aspects 
and they are all included in the same package
our skin is the canvas of the stories of our lives
our wounds and our scars are our souls kintsugi
our scars are beautiful...
beautiful golden threads weaved by our self-healing abilities 
or sometimes by healing hands of others who loved us from devotion and pure intention,
 all our hero's journeys written and naturally tattooed onto our tissues
all the love, pain, anger, joy, bliss, lessons, experiences I've ever lived,
are like poems and sentences and whispers and confessions written in pieces of paper,
like autumn leaves falling from the book  of life’s pages falling on me,                                  
 gluing to my skin,  as I dive within
permanent reminders of the impermanence of life...
and I am naked, opening up my heart where it still hurts so good to open                                         
 to this healing and transformative crucifixion of desire to go much deeper and much higher                                                                                                      I am inside a collage of Insights orchestrated by Existence
I am opaque with feelings, emotions, thoughts, confusion and resistance....
but I am transparent in my expression,
turning my confusion into uttering prayers                                                                                      
 and letting my resistance dissolve into bright flames of glorious passion
by surrendering and allowing myself to be enraptured 
and transformed by the Earth...
raw tears pure as rain, pouring emotions coming down from the sky of epiphany,
in your eyes an innocent and fragile ray of light opening the way for a new day
through all the thick heavy darkness being transmuted
my sentence being commmuted
lightning electrocuted
so vulnerable and so powerful
so beautiful to be authentic
so beautiful
to see into you
no filters
black and white
dark and light
for Hades has kidnapped me and Persephone is teaching me,
in La Loba's Cave
we are in dialogue, active and vivid dialogue...
on Life and Death, screaming and in silence
In rapture about the prosperous Life
that can come from a beautiful death
We never know when we are eating a poisoned apple
we want to live from a place of Trust but not everyone can be trusted
we don't want to project but we need to listen to our gut feelings
ultimately, we can always choose to return to Love
and learn how to discern between illusions and reality
Self-Love, and to think of ourselves
it’s not selfishness, it's maturity
so may Life teach me valuable necessary lessons
so may Love turn me to shreds
and may these shreds be compost
for the new fertile ground
to walk into new chapters
Pain is a teacher but reflection turns pain into wisdom as I come down from the Ether
Thankyou Autumn, for becoming you, and understanding the importance of going Deeper
May we become stronger and wiser... embracing the magic of Shape-Shifting

“And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.”  Kahlil  Gibran
"Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as Kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

Breaking Open in Surrender

This track was born from silence, stillness and timelessness.
The soul is universal and timeless, and it doesnt have a genre, but if i could define this it is problably a devotional-downtempo-ambient-world-sound healing-organic movement sound meditation.
As I was creating in meditation with personal and collective processes, I could feel my soul in a journey between the underworld and the horizon.
The intention is to create a moment of meditation, inner listening and integration, to move the energies through organic movement and connect with sacred chants from different places from the world, to hear the unified collective cry and prayer of the planet's voice.
The simple beats and bass are meant to create a hypnotic trance, and the intentional melodies and harmonies have the intention to weave subtle soul poetry beyond words, to connect to the ineffable.
Lower sounds have the intention to connect us to deep feelings and emotions, our beautiful darkness, and to our personal underworld to ask for more redemption during the crossings of winter, as we shed skin, and are confronted with ourselves, in our nakedness, authenticity, as challenging as it may seem - there is no enlightenment without enrealment and without integrity in our actions towards others.
The more subtle sounds have the intention to connect us to the horizon, to celestial and etheral realms, to vision and what comes next in the chapters of our lives, to activate our higher selves and our reconnection to the spirit world and to life, to ask for transcendence and transmutation of what needs to be transformed in ourselves and in the world.
Deeper currents and deeper depths to reach higher heights.
Accepting and celebrating the desperation of being lost and the joy that will follow when we are found again.
Let the wisdom of your body and your soul allow your movement and your voice to heal you. You are your own healer.

"If we tear the flesh from the bones, let it be to learn to sing, to pray to the bones and to breathe renewed Life into them.
I look at the North Star and I don't get lost, but I need to look up so that they can enter the night and see beyond the mundane reality.
When I find my smallness before the universal sky and the immense Living Earth, I remember: I too am a seed.
Mother: be it your hands, your eyes, your heart, your voice, to care, clean, heal, Love.
To all beings, without exception, whatever their history or path.
At the crossroads we all passed: all your children, the saint as the criminal, the bacteria as the human. May I, like you, be the guardian of the ways and in my humility, honor the return to the center, the heart: from within, from the Sacred Land, from Existence.

As we lose, we want the resilience of the weed, which fragile paves the way and in service dedicates his life to working the ground for the plants that afterwards can avenge himself; he wants the slow, deep and dedicated action of the big trees like the oak, the chestnut tree, the olive tree, which were planted for the next generation to eat the fruits.

We have lost track of time and perhaps this is what leads us to see the winter stop as death: stopping is dying, the saying goes, isn't it? But, what if it isn't?
If stopping is the time for regeneration, renewal, breaking the shell to be able to germinate?
If stopping is not even going to stop, but just stopping, apparently, so that a new meaning can be found internally, a renewed purpose that can only exist when the old traits of identity and experience stop getting in the way?

We run so hard, all of us, every day. To get where?

Winter invites: observe the Star and the Seed, and know what connects them.
Hope is sown every hour.
It is now, in your living callused hands, that the possibility of cultivating the Miracle lies."

Symphony Of Source

This is a deep thinking track.
It features a conversation between two of my favourite philosophers/thinkers, Dr. Gabor Maté and Russel Brand.
In this conversation they talk about the pandemic, and the equally dangerous, if not even more,  infodemic.
We are at a great dark night, collectively and personally, in a great transformation, a great purge, which requires all of our courage, compassion and sanity, as we navigate uncharted waters.
Even though this period offers great opportunities for growth and necessary, urgent, reforms in all areas of society, sometimes survival instincts play out in very strange ways.
I believe this conversation aproaches very interesting topics that touch upon many processes we are all going through, on a personal and collective level.
My intention musically, was to create a sort of a sonic dimension to all of this questioning, a slightly orwellian musical illustration to these times, while paying close attention to the deep insights and reflections presented by these two visionary beings, being inspired by their words and conversations, and making it guide the score of the arrangement and the ambiences as the track progresses, using the music also as a spiritual or psychological punctuation for their discourse.
I hope this track takes you on an inner journey of reflection, meditation, self-inquiry, healing and integration.
