Hey fam <3
It's been a long time since I posted a mix and especially a live recorded one but the time has come for me to share a very special Sunset Mix, recorded in one of the most amazing places I've ever got the chance to play. 

The place it's called Bonjuk Bay (@bonjukbay) and it has a stunning vibe and nature. Here is where the magic happens. 

Hope this mix soundtracks your sunset wherever you are <3

Much Love!

Ambient & medicine music has been a blessing in this last years of my life. A gift, really. It’s been guiding me through my own inner journey—through healing, through feeling, through exploring —and I’m grateful beyond words for how it continues to hold space for me and all those who come across some of this soul & earth inspired music.

This Glass Garden session was recorded in nature, where I grew up. It’s a mix of songs I’ve gathered, new music I love, and some of my own ambient work—improvised in the moment, guided by presence. I truly hope it brings you what it brought me: healing, acceptance, a sense of inner space.

Thank you to Glass Garden, @alysmusique and @dobmusique , for creating such a beautiful series, and thank you to everyone who takes the time to listen. I’m honored to share this chapter of the journey with you.

12-Min Guided Breathwork: Reset Energy & Daily Integration

Welcome to this new RISE Breathwork session — a short but powerful 12-minute journey designed to help you recharge, reset, and rise to your full potential.

Breathwork Instructions

This is a connected breath practice — no pause between inhale and exhale.
 • Inhale: Belly & chest expand
 • Exhale: Belly & chest fall
 • Breathing in: Mouth (more powerful) or nose (gentler)
 • Breathing out: Mouth
 • Each cycle includes dynamic breathing followed by two retentions (~45 sec after exhale, then ~45 sec after inhale).
 • You may feel tingling, changes in temperature, or mild muscle tension — these are normal effects of breathwork.
 • If overwhelmed, return to gentle breathing in and out through the nose.
 • Always listen to your body and never force anything.

⸻

⚠ Important Contraindications

If you have a history of psychosis or epileptic seizures, this practice is not for you.

If you are currently pregnant, please listen closely to your body. Only participate if it feels right for you — and do not perform or hold any of the breath retentions.

If in doubt, consult your physician.
