When I pray, the most profound way for me to connect is by singing to the spirits, inviting them into sacred ceremony. Singing allows me to open up the dimensions of being within the body, within the cosmos, and within the natural world.
For many years I have sang spirit songs and sacred melodies as part of my daily prayers. These melodies and songs come to me directly from the Spirits. This music has always opened up a profound connection for me, but I didn’t really share it. It felt deeply personal and so sacred. I’m also super shy and I’m not a performer.
Then, two years ago, I received a message from an ancestor while on a vision fast in Death Valley. The ancestor’s voice, clear and deep, told me
“Write your songs.”
The thing is, I didn’t go into the desert and fast for four days and four nights, receive a message from an ancestor, and then not follow through. When a Spirit tells me to do something, I listen. I don’t want to find out what happens if I don’t. With the Pachamama Invocation, I am complying with these Divine Orders.
This song is a gift to anyone hoping to attune their heart, to the heart of the Cosmic Mother. May it open your heart and help you remember and connect with your true nature as a being of light and unconditional love. My hope is that you share it widely, with whomever you feel could benefit from this attunement. May you experience healing and energetic shifts that remind you that you are supported.
