Slowed way down

I would like to tell you a story of a young promising shipibo shaman who tragically passed away, his struggling family in need of support and a song collaboration that we made between the spirit and physical realms. 

When I came to Peru I experienced 4 powerful ceremony with Shipibos. I really connected energetically with one of the shamans, the youngest and most energetic one - Felipe Segundo. He had a great stamina and his Icaros were really powerful, at the same time he was a very gentle soul. I still remember when the big dose of Ayahuasca totally blew me into the fractal womb and I didn't want to come back to reality, but when I finally hearda voice telling me that he wants to sing for me and if I want to sit up and receive it. Just because of my respect for him I knew I need to be reborn into my body and so, all covered in my purge, barely seeing with one eye up and holding my self up into balance I got up and received his Icaro. Those ceremonies became the main reason why I continue to live in Peru and work with plant medicine and sound. 

After the ceremonies we promised to make a song together but I've never felt ready. Almost a year later he died tragically in a moto caro accident... I've felt I forever lost the chance to honor him with our promised song. Recently I was having a solo mushroom journey in the music studio of the Sacred Valley in Peru, I listened to some track and when it finished the next song that came on with shuffle was the recording of his Icaro from the ceremonies we shared. I wasn't aware I had it on my macbook among gigabytes of music. I understood this is no coincidence so I started working on my sound promise. 2 days ago the beother of Felipe Segundo wrote me that the family is struggling because of the COVID, they're sick and need financial support. They offer their handicrafts and need help. I understood again that these synchronicities are not an coincidence.

I am sharing the finished song to reach more people, a collaboration between the spirit and physical world, the jungle and the Sacred Valley, between me and a beautiful soul that won't sing again in the ceremony but his voice will always stay in the energetic body and DNA of the people he helped. Our promise is now complete brother. 
This is his last Icaro...

Odyssey

Throughout human history and across most native traditions, constant repetitive rhythms and the steady drone of chanting have carried shamans and other spiritual seekers into other dimensions in ecstatic trance. Even today, this music, as ancient as the rocks and wind, provides sacred transport to higher states of well being and bliss. Attaining the Shante Ishta is the goal of this journey. This is the “single eye of the heart," the third eye or wisdom eye of the ancients--the shaman's eye. It is the place where the individual soul attunes to the collective, universal heartbeat that unites us all.

Shaman's Eye brims with multi-layered currents of sound and chanting woven around a steady stream of theta rhythms. These provocative rhythms are designed to tap into our own ancestral depths and call us into the secret worlds of trance. Each of these musical landscapes is alive with its own distinctive spirit energy. As they carry us forward they become the vehicle for our journeys.

In the true spirit of musical alchemy, Amani Friend blends his technical skills with his innate understanding of the power of sound and vibration to heal and transform. With deep reverence, he weaves the strands of pan-global percussive and melodic expressions, sacred chants, and the atmospheres of nature around the steady heartbeat of trance to inspire inner journeys.

Water Magister & Momentology - Cho Go Pal (Binaural Beat Meditations - Delta > Theta)

Giving thanks for the life-giving, all-purifying waters of our planet. A song of praise for las aguas...cleansing, healing, ever-flowing. A prayer that humanity learns to respect and care for our most precious and profound element.

Lyrics:

Agua pura 
Agua limpia 
Agua de vida 
Agua cura 

Oshun calling her sons and her daughters 
To care for the precious the freshest of waters 
Life-giver, river she flows 
A well-wisher deeper than we'll ever know 

Water planet, garden sublime 
It's time to drink deeply aligning the mind 
With the blessing of rainwaters ever in motion 
Nourishing life with the purest devotion 

Waters healing 
Waters cleansing 
Waters purifying 
Waters healing

Wherever You Turn, You're Facing God

alquimia

Henrii lives in the northern hemisphere, where winter is a fact in life....... And if you accept that this is a oppertunity to look inside and get cozy in your own  shell, you will feel the good energy crowling out of it, facing the sun. The ice is melting taking you on a journey down the river, flowing to the sea.......
E-motions transormed in music and rhythm.
Come out of your shell, take a walk in the forest, explore your feelings.
Let the vibes in, open up and enjoy!



“I am all about Self-care and taking time for yourself. So often I will relax by myself at home, listening to music such as Joanna Brouk, or any kind of mellow ambient music, do some restorative poses with bolsters and blankets and let my body just sink into whatever position it wants to be in. Your body and mind deserves love, attention and music that can heal. But this takes time and lots of practice. To meditate is to bring the mind home to its nature, to become enlightened, and released from suffering. 
To be on this path I have to ask questions and not settle for a specific answer, but accepting that it's the practice of asking those right questions that will take me into next level of self-discovery. Not long ago I had another meaningful and heart opening meeting with Kambo and Sananga. Working with these nature medicines inspired me to create a musical journey that guides you through the consciousness and can help you let go and release any tension. 

I love sharing organic sounds, creating an atmosphere that will take you to delightful places and that can be felt like balsam for your soul. 

I invite you to grow sweetly and wildly.”
