All the feels in this one. Quite the journey of a mix. A return to innocence. Guided throughout its creation. Purrrhaps my most favorite I’ve made. (Set list below)

-Return to Innocence-

Imagine the birthing 
Of your existence
Inside the womb
A return to innocence 

In an ocean of bliss
No sense of separation 
One with the all 
In the great mothers vibration 

Imagine the moment 
You were called to come forth
Into the world
Separating from source

How did it happen?
What was the sensation?
Were you sung to ever sweetly?
Or abruptly awakened? 

This precious moment 
That shapes our whole lives
Can you imagine 
What yours might have been like?

As children we carry 
A wisdom divine 
Closest to that time 
When we were one with the light

Were you listened to then?
Were you really seen?
For the childlike beauty 
And the truth you carried?  

At some point we got hurt
Lost sight of our true essence
For the suffering around us
Was too dark and immense  

And for the sake
Of our hearts protection
We put up our walls
Sacrificing connection 

Go back to these moments
Remember the pain
Can you hold yourself now
Like the womb from which you came?

Can you say to yourself
“O sweet inner child 
Don’t let those who’ve forgotten 
Imprison your wild

Keep your mind open
And your heart facing forward 
When the world gets heavy
Be a pillar of courage 

Instead make the choice
To play, dance and cry
To connect on soul level
To let your love unify 

This is your invitation
Go back to the Source 
Remember and return 
To innocence, evermore  <3
