YUYANCHAKUY
A CHANT OF REMEMBERING

Creating this music has been a journey of discovery and healing for me. Every time I step into the studio to write and record, is like going to therapy for me. It’s difficult at times to work through the frozen parts of my nervous system. But, this is a devotional practice of showing up and following through on my commitment to my spiritual practice. When I remember why I am creating this music, I tap into the courage to keep showing up. I don’t know where it’s going, but ultimately I have to trust my inner guidance.

This is a chant of REMEMBERING.

On one of my pilgrimages to Peru, I was meditating at a sacred site when, all of a sudden a well of emotion and energy moved through my body, followed by a vision of a guardian spirit that lived deep within the mountain. This spirit presented itself as a white feathered dragon. I came to learn later in my studies of the Peruvian Cosmology, that these beings are called Amarus. And, they serve as messengers, working on behalf of the Pachamama and in service to the mountain spirits. But, at the time, I was shocked and a bit bewildered by this experience.

The next thing I knew, a melody was moving through me. I found myself singing. It was as if the melody was moving me. As I sang it, I was experiencing tingles throughout every cell in my body. It was like the song was awakening something in my cellular structure. This was an energetic transmission.

At the time, I didn't fully understand what this was. But, what this Amaru showed me, was how they kept ancient memories from a time long ago, when humans understood their relationship with the cosmos, from a time when they knew how to cultivate their connection with the unseen, benevolent forces in the universe.

This spirit shared with me, that I was being given this gift and that it would help to awaken the memories in my heart as I sang the chant. They also shared with me, that anyone who heard this would also benefit from this transmission.

This was a lot for me to digest. It's difficult to put into words how profound an experience like this is. It was as if the melody was moving through my physiology, literally changing my cellular structure.

I received this medicine song, over ten years ago. And, I never thought I would record it to share with others. It felt too personal and profoundly sacred.

But, it feels ready to share now.

My hope is that you listen to it. That it resonates with your heart. That you receive this transmission, and allow it to support you in your spiritual remembering, of who you are at the most essential core of your humanity, a conscious being, animated by a force of unconditional love that is the ground of all living energy.

This is my gift to you!
