A Huni Kuin prayer, calling on the forces of nature, the sacred elemental beings, the sun, moon, stars, waters.  An offering to loved ones walking the Blue Road.  

Recorded at home on the mountain, by the fire, on my iPhone.

Huni Kuin healing prayer

This Huni Kuin prayer was inspired by Txana Ixã.  I thank him from the depths of my heart for the medicine of this melody which carried me through an indescribable process.  This is the rawest of recordings, recorded on my iphone in the moment, simply not to forget.  It was 2019, a few months after David's death, the tragedy of his passing lingers in the air.  It's the early hours of the morning .. around 2am, I am coughing, I remember it being so incredibly cold, curtains drawn, feeling exposed, naked & broken.  This prayer came on the wings of Yuxibu, to bring healing to our hearts.  I sing to the elementals, the forces of nature, the force of the medicine, to bring transformation.  I sing to keep breathing, to keep my own heart beating & despite the mispronunciation, the innocence of the strum, this moment can never be replicated & remains to this day, a deeply healing prayer.

Huni Kuin lullaby - Ni a nai a ne

A Deeply sacred Huni Kuī chant sung with a newly received melody. 

Forever grateful to the ancient wisdom of the forest and her keepers for these deeply sacred ancestral prayers and the blessing to learn and sing through the heart of the forest.  

This prayer was recorded on my iPhone.  
I just landed home from Portugal,  waiting for my family to return home.  The Sun began to kiss the Sea and my heart was full
of love. 

Today I felt to share it with you ..

Huni Kuin prayer ~ Hawe Dau Tibuya

Around midnight I sat alone with candle light in the Santo Daime temple and received this song.   We had passed our first year of grief, by the grace of Spirit we had survived it and following a mystical guidance, we were realising a dream of building a sanctuary, a home to heal,  deep in the womb of a magical mountain.  This prayer is a song of gratitude to the sacred land which held me and my family, to the path of the medicine, the beauty way which grounds, strengthens and gifts me with the wisdom to keep walking forward with an open heart.  One night a few years ago, together with a friend, "Marco like Polo", we spontaneously decided to record it and most recently I have been lovingly encouraged to share it.  I hope this song brings peace to your heart, strength to your spirit and reminds you in testing times that you are stronger than you think you are and with the loving presence, connection and intimacy with Nature, not separate from ourselves we have the capacity to heal the deepest of wounds, and make peace with ineffable pain in radical trust with the divine wisdom of the Great Mystery.  

With love, Tanya Mukani

THE BEAUTY WAY

Haux Haux 🦜

I am tanya Mukani, mother of 3 beautiful children, living quietly in Nature, nestled in the womb of a magical mountain. 

I am deeply grateful & blessed to be walking the path of the forest, healing, growing & learning from Nature.  I've been baptised in the Huni Kuin tradition, receiving the name Mukani by my godfather Pajé Sia Hui Bai, the son of the late Agostino Ika Muru & in the ancestral lands of Jordão under his guidance I entered into Samakey, to strengthen my studies with the sacred plants, the sacred chants & songs.  

I've been working in alliance with the Huni Kuin spiritual leaders for many years, an alliance guided by the sacred master plants, the Union of the boa & leopard.  Our community is growing beautifully.  You are welcome to follow our journey on instagram eskawata.kayawai.africa.  I give thanks to the Huni Kuin spiritual leaders, teachers,  txanas from the Brazilian Amazon who have brought the ancestral teachings of the forest to Africa with immense joy, love, humility, reverence & for their encouragement to share these prayers.  

It has taken me a long time to gather the courage to share songs other than in ceremony.  For many reasons there has been resistance.  I am not a trained musician .. I am learning everything from the sacred medicines, from Nature.  

The songs I am sharing are versions of Huni Kui prayers, received from Nature over the past 4 years while navigating through a strong process of grief.  

The songs are captured in the moment, on my iPhone, late at night whilst my son sleeps & I sit with Grandfather fire.  They are raw, innocent & with possible mispronunciations (desculpe familia Huni Kui)

I hope these prayers bring as much healing to your heart as they have to mine. 

And to my eternal love David Wolf, it’s because of you that I sing .. there are no words for the love we share.  It simply continues to grow & expand .. the beanstalk between heaven & earth.  I love you forever.
