Jon David (aka Apukuna)creates musical journeys from deep within the mountains. Inspired by the beating hearts of the mystical music makers of mother earth...
thats what we feel and we feel so blessed to be able to share this attitude on 'Echoes'.  Thank you APUKUNA!

Open Into Flame
 is a meditation, a prayer and a dance for personal and collective transformation. For the past month, I have been immersed in smoke from fires burning in the mountains to surrounding my home and from the hundreds of others burning nearby here in the Pacific Northwest of Canada/USA. The burning of entire towns, homes and livelihoods has moved me into tears and into deep reflection. What is our Earth Mother asking of us in this time? This music was chosen to tell the story of my own journey into this question. It's an invitation to open into your own flame and to support releasing, transforming and welcoming new beginnings. As Bība shares so eloquently in this mix, “It’s time for a change of skin. This shedding is underway. Snake shows us that this shedding is by fire. The skin burning away is a skin full of injustices, anger and violence. [The fire] is symbolic of moving away from the old ways and making way for the new. In these flames, our anger can now be seen, our shadow revealed by the glowing light. And in this fire now, it’s time to heal. At this time of great shedding, an energy channel is open- a line of light. This line of light is our lineage. Our path to awakening. This energy is open to all beings on earth to come into alignment with the unfolding mystery of our individual and collective evolution.” 
With love - Jon (Apukuna)

Echoes from APUKUNA - Open Into Flame

Healing wave of soundbath.
There are words to guide us though none to explain the real flow of life language ~ the ocean of feelings. 
Fragments of our souls wandering among a battlefield of tears. The lost parts being called back to a whole new reality. Magic is luring everywhere.
Walk and dance softly on the sacred ground of Mother Earth.
Dancing in the portal of heaven ~ washed by Pachamama.
Alignment with the call of spirit. 
Alignment, fierce ~ yet soft.
Bold and humble.
Release. Integrate. Overcome. Love. 
∞ 
This musical prayer was born on a rainy night in the depth of the Amazon jungle.
I hope the purifying frequencies will reach you as deeply as they have reached me - in my highs as in my lows. And if not, I do hope you just enjoy those peaceful sounds for your soul. 
Much love to everyone who needs it from the Green Heart of the Earth.

A paradigm is shifting. A New Earth is being born.

This gradual wave embodies the potential of a unified and evolved humanity. A harmonic merging of cultures—ancient & modern. From mesmerising India to the enthralling Amazon. From the sensual orient to the depths of Africa. From the powerful Americas to imaginative Europe. Each part of humanity bringing its authentic frequencies into the creation of something new. 
 
This DJ-set unearths primal urges while celebrating emotional maturity. It’s gentle & subtle, sensual & raw, wild & ecstatic, liberating & emotional, primal & real. 

At IGNI, a New Earth tribe gathered to connect, dance and ignite the rain. Guided by electronic frequencies with tribal rhythms, we connected with our tribal essence and embarked on a journey back to our most primal connection with Mother Earth. 
 
We need you. We honour you. We are you. 
 
May the rain fall for the land and all beings to purify, cleanse & nourish. May this set empower us and guide us into rememberance of our connection to the earth, each other, and ourselves.

Thank you!

💎 Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. 💎
― Arundhati Roy

💎The Next Buddha will be a Sangha 💎 – Thich Nhat Hanh

Recorded in the summer of 2022, in one of the most lush and soulful (private)settings I've had the honor and pleasure of playing music at...a true Medicine Temple of Sacred Sensuality, innocent Eros, humans-like-dolphins, swimming into unity, mycelium magically rooting us into collective-intelligence, collective-evolution, collective-play...

It was exquisite to serve this space with the power of intentional M U S I C (I got to play some tracks that have been waiting to play for years):  a true Medicine Temple of Human Hearts 💎

The taste of New Earth Nectar that was dripping in this space was sweeter than sweet:  it's medicine is still working it's magik, the portal is still opening and deepening each time I listen to this mix and remember this portal...We are the Medicine 💎

Enjoy the 3,5 hour journey of sonic sound:  feel free to download and share...

I support independent artists by always purchasing the music I use in my musical-mixes:  you can support my artistry (see Kofi link here:  https://ko-fi.com/alma8omega) so I can continue to support the artistry of others....

no matter what, VIVA MUSICA, VIVA BAILAR, VIVA FAMILIA 💎

Stunning image by one and only Paula Duro' 💎

Blessed Journey!
