Anahata foi uma das primeiras canções de Svayam, num momento em que os meus concertos meditativos começaram a incorporar cantigas, com letra e voz a cada concerto menos tímida e mais presente. É da era de 2018, mas quis ser fechada em 2022. Gravada na Start Up Cultural de Arruda dos Vinhos, em Dezembro de 2022.

João Svayam: guitarra, baixo, voz, bateria, mix e master.

Letra:

O meu coração não é só em mim
bate com outros que batem assim
Como um tambor que nunca tem fim
arde no peito e transforma-me aqui

O meu coração não é só em mim
brilha com outros que cantam assim
Soltam no vento um canto sem fim
abro o meu peito e transformo-me aqui

Volto ao meu peito agora e aqui
Abro o meu peito transformo-me aqui
Grato ao meu peito agora e aqui
Amor no peito bate um coração

Anahata was one of Svayam's first songs, at a time when my meditative concerts began to incorporate songs, with lyrics and voice at each concert less shy and more present. It's from the 2018 era, but I wanted to finish her process in 2022. Recorded at Start Up Cultural de Arruda dos Vinhos, in December 2022.

João Svayam: guitar, bass, vocals, drums, mix and master.

Lyrics

My heart doesn't live inside of me alone
beats with others who beat like it
Like a drum that never ends
it burns in my chest and transforms me here and now

My heart doesn't live inside of me alone
shines with others who sing like this
They release an endless song in the wind
I open my chest and become here and now

I return to my chest here and now
I open my chest, I transform myself here and now
Grateful to my heart here and now
My love, inside my chest beats a heart

 Music is one of multiple ways of living fully, being whole and complete, immersed on the vastness of the world. At each music note we can redeem something more from our essence, spread it, echo it, give, receive and be. Svayam is a moment of meditation guided by sound, and it’s offered as an opportunity to be who we really are, to take from the inside what escapes our instant and automatic sensibility. João Sousa guides this voyage - personal, but collective - with a guitar, voice and bowls.
Each body touched by sound is a moment of unique love,
an inexhaustible source of energy. To create with sound is to open doors to the earth, to touch the water, feel the air and transform with fire… For a moment we understand the act of creation, we are that moment, undulating in the ethereal, taking off from matter. Each time Svayam happens, we connect profoundly with humankind, with life, with the cosmos. Let us be all and nothing, here and now, everyone and none.
