For Meditation or Yoga
Or A Sensual Slow Love Making

❁ The Light Within ❁

Akasha is the third offering of the Kuya Sessions. Cura led us on a shamanic journey of body-centered awareness. Our journey continued in Samadhi, unifying individual and universal consciousness. We are now prepared to enter the exquisitely ethereal realm of Akasha. The gentle welcoming melody in “Path of Illumination” relaxes us in preparation for our journey. Vocalist Meagan Chandler sings four of the ninety-nine names of Allah as Poranguí sings four names of god in different African traditions. This invocation, joining male and female and diverse cultural traditions, serves as a prayer for protection as we gradually remove the veil and dissolve into the cosmic memory of divine consciousness. We are becoming formless, egoless, as we float in the liminal space between life and death. The cosmos slows down. Vulnerable and open to the benevolent pulse of the universe, we are drawn into the inner sanctum of the akashic womb. 

In “Eternal Horizons” a soothing female voice, accompanied by cello and piano, sings a sailor’s folk song, guiding us deeper into the sea of love and loss, encouraging us to surrender more, to shed that which no longer serves. We know that we must let go in order to move on, that we must metaphorically die in order to be reborn, the eternal return. As we sail towards the event horizon and pass the point of no return, we are greeted by a gentle male voice that embraces us in compassion as it slowly delivers us to a brand new world, where we are bathed in peace, love, and understanding. 

It is time to come home to the “Heart of the Mother,” where we can integrate our cosmic journey in the warm arms of our beloved Pachamama. From our experience of ethereal awareness, we have come to truly know in the deepest depths of souls that everything is being held as is meant to be, that we are safe and whole, that we are protected by the supreme love of energetic forces that lie beyond the beyond. We see that our own capacity for love, as fragile as our earthly bodies and yet as infinite as the akashic realm of which it is a part, makes an essential contribution to the unfolding divine plan.

Embedded within the sonic signature of the world’s oldest musical lineages and enhanced with field recordings and samples from across the globe, Kuya Sessions: Akasha is best experienced in its Journey Mix format, where the boundaries between the three movements are as ephemeral as the voyage itself. In preparation for embarking on this ritualistic path, one is invited to create an environment for inner-exploration with the help of a quiet and dark room, headphones, an eye mask, and an intention of healing and discovery. 

Akasha draws upon a grounding array of ancient instruments, field recordings, Celtic runes, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Liquid Bloom’s magical, multi-dimensional sound. Distilled from the intention of providing listeners a path toward healing and a safe space from which to embark on that odyssey, Kuya Sessions: Akasha will continue to reveal itself with each subsequent visit for all who desire its therapeutic guidance. 

The Kuya Sessions were created by Poranguí and Liquid Bloom for Kuya, in support of paradigm-shifting medicine and therapeutics to help people transform their lives into lives they love. Akasha offers seekers a soundtrack for their journeys toward rebalancing, and is now lovingly shared with listeners everywhere on behalf of Kuya and the artists.

"RiTUAL" EP is a cinematic beautiful dance ceremony that contains all emotions, even the most difficult ones. All are welcome in this prayer in a time of reconciliation of the land and its inhabitants. Get ready to surrender to the beauty way!

After a decade learning from indigenous communities in the Americas, European singer/producer @monsterluna aims to awaken our own natural ability to overcome trauma & befriend our demons, finding fulfillment through gratitude, change, fearless reciprocity & forgiveness.

Strengthening the connection to the sacred in everyday life means to heal ancestral lineages, honoring the spiritual and natural elements of the planet, asking the feminine and masculine to unite in mystical redemption. This alchemy is masterfully orchestrated by unique textural layers of organic instruments from every continent & ancient voices.

Prayers in Quechua, Spanish, Navajo and English will make you dig deeper into what's most important to reach harmony and joy

LYRICS

Timed my inhale
For a chance to glimpse
Enlightenment
On the precipice
Thunder kiss
Thunder fade in
I'm stargazing
Sky draped

Calling back every soul piece
Come
Come feel

It feels so safe now
Held here
Come
Come breathe

Please
Find your way back to me
Whenever you are ready

Calling back every soul piece
Come
Come feel

It feels so safe now
I feel so safe

Stargazer

CTHULHU MYTHOS - WITH HEAVY HEARTS

The second part of my second long mix providing a musical space for journeys within. Expect 3nd part in mid October 2018

At some track transitions nature sounds are used, for others a track is mixed into the next. For a few silence is used. This is done, as it for me is important to focus also on the silence and ambient sounds of our planet. It is from this, that the music arises. (Listen e.g. to Eckart Tolle www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGcijS_eSKg )

"Part 1 - Settling" is meant for settling in, arriving at the place where you listen to this music.
"Part 2 - Going Deep" is meant for the real work, where you on your journey travel within. The music can here help you experience different states and emotions and will guide you through
"Part 3 - Coming Back" will be posted in the near future , and is meant slowly to bring you back, letting go of your inner work, and integrate it in a state of celebration in a space of love and light

If you like the individual tracks I have used, please support the artists. Link to their Soundcloud/Bandcamp/other sites are provided with the tracklist.
