Something often overlooked and equally important as receiving the medicine, is the integration of it all.  There comes a point, where we must give us ourselves the proper space to USE the medicine we have been given and take action. 

My Kinda Medicine is truly integrated action.

Some of the biggest medicine to swallow in these times is Trust. That perhaps we can trust that What is meant to be shall be and that there's an order to the seeming chaos.

Collectively it feels like a time to Rally.

The world needs as much of all of our individual medicine right now as we can spread, our love, despite fear, is a remedy in itself.

So here's some of my love for your Moon day. 

I hope it brings you some of what you need right now and the encouragement to share your particular flavor of medicine with the world right now.

🌹💃🏼 The Bloomurian ReVibe (Remix) of Temple Body Affirmation by Sofiah Thom & DTO ft. Govinda on Violin 🎻 is a song for self-love, inner-strength, and reclaiming the sacredness that you embody.

📖 Here's my side of the story: I had been in conversation with DTO for a while about collaborating on music together, and we finally met in person a few years ago at Lucidity festival. We passed a few ideas back and forth but nothing stuck as we both had a lot of other projects we were working on.

⏩ Then, I was part of Ruby Chase's Resonance Cocoon 🦋 online, where the creative juices were flowing and songs were emerging. Sofiah Thom announced that she was working on a song that she would love to be remixed. I was the first to respond, at this point just intuitively, as I hadn't even heard the song yet!

⏩ Fast forward to Envision Festival in Costa Rica 🏝️ where I was working at Mundo De Luz, and happened to be on shift when Sofiah Thom was debuting her song Temple Affirmation, with a mesmerizing team of dancers embodying the song. I was able to fully experience the essence, energy, and full expression of this song, and immediately was filled with ideas of how I would remix this song. Having just performed on one of the most packed dance floors of my life  a few nights before (the very same dance floor that Sofiah was performing on), I was able to hear what I could add to this song to bring the dance floor to life, fusing rhythm and bass, rises and drops, with the gorgeous tapestry and meaningful affirmations from Sofiah's song.

⏩ Fast forward once again, Sofiah, DTO and I began a group chat in March 🌱 to seed this ReVibe, and now, 9 months later, this little song has bloomed 🌸 into the world!

🌹 We're looking forward to seeing & hearing how this song moves you! The BEST thing you could do to support us right now is to stream this song on repeat, put it into your playlists, send it to your friends who make big playlists, post about it, use it as audio in your reels, and send us videos of you dancing to it! 



~ Lyrics ~

Everything you desire to feel
to know
to remember
Lives within your body

Your body is your temple  
You are divine 
it is time
To feel at home
In your Temple 

My body is my temple 
Sacred and sovereign
Holy and divine, 
On a mission for mankind
Sharing my gifts,
my voice, my dance
To inspire
Your highest desire

Yes
You are remembering 
Yes

You are remembering  
Your truth
Your power
Your divine inheritance
Dripping in your elegance
Held in your Temple Body

Open your channel 
Allow the wellspring of creativity 
to flow through 
As movement
As sound
As art

Are you ready to remember who you truly are?

Infinite Love

I am the artist   
I am the co-creator
Life is my canvas
My body my altar
My body my altar
I dance my dreams and prayers into being

I am worthy 
I am worthy 

My Body is my Temple 
Sacred and sovereign
Holy and divine
On a mission for mankind
Sharing my gifts, my voice, my dance
To inspire
Your highest desire.

Temple Body Affirmation

Temple Body Affirmation ft. Govinda (Bloomurian ReVibe) by Sofiah Thom, Bloomurian & DTO

🌊 I can't even begin to describe how beautiful it was to DJ an ecstatic dance on a beach, looking at the bright blue ocean the whole time on the island of Maui, with dancers everywhere, swimming, grooving and feeling it all, together, outside in the sunshine. So, I'll let the music express it 🐋
