Frederic Leighton fared as an underestimated salon painter up till 1895. Then he painted this masterpiece – Flaming June. It sings to us with radiant color and elemental symbols. Many see this painting as simple. It’s a beautiful woman in a glorious dress. They’re not wrong. But as with most masterpieces, more levels of meaning resonate here. The initial pulse check on this painting delivers heat. It’s titled Flaming June for good reason. Orange bursts through the canvas as cascading fire. The gown’s flames ripple like an out-of-control blaze. This lovely woman seems to sleep inside an inferno. Surrounding details balance this piece, though. It’s not only about fire. Leighton frames June with earth, sea, and air elements to harmonize the painting. Frederic Leighton painted Flaming June only about a year before his death. With that in mind, the painting crosses the boundary between an artist’s work and their legacy. Leighton was popular in his day. As a British painter, he made lots of money and was even knighted. But few would have guessed he’d paint a true masterpiece. His work fit into the category of salon paintings. Today’s equal might be an artist who does pieces to match interiors for one percenter. He far outdid himself with Flaming June, though. This beauty speaks to us beyond any decorator’s vision. It touches us today as a glorious masterpiece.

Shanti-Lii - THE AROMA ALCHEMIST

Today we are thrilled to introduce you to our dear friend and great dj @amnati.

"In the spirit of echoing with Lisa’s tiny boat session, I collected these tracks while also imagining myself floating with loved ones but this time towards sunrise 🌅. When the sun is slowly rising and all creatures are waking up in peaceful tranquility, only water remains in the constant change while bringing us forward bathing in the warmth of morn. I wish we can all find the strength that lies deeply within the tenderness of the fluid state, be like océane, be like water ;)"

We are immensely grateful to have you as part of our musical family ♥️

Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

PRIMORDIAL PODCAST - EP. 28 - METTANOIA

Please welcome a special friend of ours since the Odyssey Podcast days, who hails from Guatemala, currently residing in Switzerland, and who has expressed some of the deepest emotions and energies in his spiritual art.  He has engaged the world with ambient layers and expansive spaces in which the listener can explore.  This is a beautiful journey that you are about to experience.  This is transformation of the soul.  This is Mettanoia.

📜 BIO 📜
https://soundcloud.com/mettanoia-777 seeks to share his love for music by creating deep and melodic sound spaces.

Mettanoia wants each session to be healing. It wants melancholy to be transformed through the sound of the soul and for each person to connect with themselves and enter a state of self-observation. Music will do its own work in each one.  On energetic occasions, it connects with euphoric rhythms to release the inner will!  A constant transmutation of the mind and heart! This is Mettanoia!

📜 STORY 📜
What would life be like without music?  Let's enter the inner silence to listen to the Music of the soul.

"Resurrections," this musical story, tries to tell the resurgence of the Being in man!  

Come to your senses again!  Lifting your soul from oblivion! 
 A call from the Being to the Soul to lift the body!  So that man can return to BEING-Human, a Living-being! A humanity that thinks about itself and is strong enough to break with artificial programming!

Mettā Bhavana Meditation

Mettā (Pāli) or Maitrī (Sanskrit) means benevolence, loving-kindness, friendship, goodwill and active interest in others, the first of the four sublime states (Brahmaviharas) of Buddhist virtues and one of the 10 Pāramis in the Theravāda school of Buddhism.

The objective of Mettā meditation is detached love acting on kindness and love.  Starting first with ourselves, followed by our close and loved ones, these are followed by those neutral or unknown people, and then those people who, for some reason, had a bad time or who have hurt us. By doing this, we can come to feel Mettā in a universal way, feeling love and goodwill towards everyone and everything!  Selfless love!  Cultivating in ourselves, self-love and equanimity (a sublime state) towards others!  One way to practice Mettā is to medítate on phrases like "I wish that you experience happiness and be free from suffering."  Someone who has cultivated Mettā will not easily be afraid and will be able to subjugate it by being more loving and more prone to unconditional love.

In these times of violent unrest, widespread unrest and suffering, the need for a practice like mettā-bhāvanā is clear.  So that peace and harmony reign throughout the world.

⛵ Please sit back and receive this cosmic, organic, beautiful energy and meditate upon the mysteries of life, being unified with the loving light within yourself and within all life around you! Be reborn, be resurrected!  Enjoy the journey!⛵
