Instructions & extra info with the CD

BRAINWAVES

"Hovering the Realms" is built with strong brainwaves, which will positively stimulate your own brainwaves. You will find a lot of information on the internet about the power of entrainment through listening to brainwaves.

Are you completely new to the world of brainwaves or binaural beats? Then we would like to refer you to a very interesting website with fascinating background information about brainwave music.

Sound and image take on a much greater dimension. By working in many layers, using spatial effects and sounds as well as brainwaves, we want to paint an atmosphere that paints a landscape in the soul through the gates of each pair of ears. We guide you with the sounds. But you are the auditory artist who creates his own painting with this music, in which you are allowed to "grow" and "see".

“Here and now," I "live in different dimensions at the same time and I am connected to all realms. Everything that ever was and ever will be is here in me. My consciousness is where I put my attention. But regardless of where my attention is, my actions have an effect in all other spheres and dimensions. ” In dreams, for example, we paint entire landscapes, the colors are of an unseen depth and sound resonates throughout our whole being. All these spheres, received by our astral senses and brought out afterwards through sound; that is what we call "audio painting" here and bring it to the fore in "Hovering the realms". Listening to this music just before going to sleep will strengthen your dream body and open it up more to be more consciously present in your dreams, so that you become a master of your dream world *.

* After all, the ancient cultures believe that during the day we start to experience what we actually dreamed at night and not the other way around as is believed in the West. The stories from our dreams often make use of shapes and scenes from everyday life. But the underlying themes and what is really felt are much more intertwined. We can only handle this when we actually wake up in the dream and by consciously adjusting our painting.

Rebirthing & Shamanic traveling

The entire album can be used for a deep breathing session (rebirthing) as well as you can use it to embark on a shamanic or astral journey. The music and brainwaves open the gates to other realms in which you can travel, in order to sink deeper into your essence as a human being. Learn about yourself, your story and feel more deeply who you really are. The first song (Hovering the realms basic track) is a song that sets a lot in motion, you are brought from one atmosphere to another. An ideal song to start a breathing session with, there is enough variation and dynamics to not drift too quickly but to stay in a continuous breathing. Towards the end of the first track you can descend a little deeper and the gate to the astral opens. Here you make the transition to the second track. You can now continue your breathing session if desired or sink into deep meditation. The 2nd and longest track is built up with lots of nature sounds and very strong brainwaves. If you are interested in doing a breathing session on this music, we advise you to read the instructions that you can find below at track 2. Safe journey!

Three-PART ‘HOVERING THE REALMS’

The album contains 4 long songs and comprises a full CD in duration. We call it a three-part, after all, the last song is a bonus track. For this bonus track, we took the rhythmic part from the first song and offered it separately to round off your journey. It is interesting to listen to the songs in the correct order.

1. Hovering the realms - 22:22

2. Hovering the realms (Dreamscape brainwave edit) - 42:00

3. Hovering the realms - Flor del Tobacco - 07:30

4. Hovering the realms (grounding bonus track) - 06:06

01. Hovering the realms - 22:22

The basic track is a playful and energetic version in which Juanita and Marijn use their voices to direct the "atmosphere" of the Mariri of the song: Icaros and ceremonial improvisations in contact with the spirits of the different realms. At the beginning of the song you will hear a short improvisation by Marijn, recorded during a ceremony in the jungle of Peru (Mayantuyacu), while Maestro Juan Flores blows off the other participants in the ceremony with Tobacco (soplado). From there the song is built up further through the spheres. In the middle of the song we bring movement to the spheres and an energetic whirlwind of chakapas (leaf bundle) is created to whip up the rhythm. Djembé, Talking drum, mouth harp and flutes create a hypnotic rhythm as the Peuhl flute screams its way through the landscape. After this we plunge back into tranquility and briefly enter the underwater realms of the Yakuruna; crystal temples deep below the water's surface where ancient wisdom about the water kingdoms is shared with you. This musical painting ends with a profound icaro to put everything down and connect what you feel deeper within you. This icaro sings about different plants and focuses on the pure energy of these medicine plants.

Calling the plants (lyrics)

for the last part of the first track we call upon the spirits of many strong plants of the rainforest

As we move from track 1 to track 2, the Tonal lets go, the Nahual takes over.

02. Hovering the Realms (Dreamscape Brainwave edit) - 42:00

The dreamscape track is made for meditation, breathing sessions and astral or shamanic travel. Throughout the song, the brainwaves in this track stimulate the "opening of a wider consciousness", then the "opening of the 3rd eye" and then "learning at a deeper level", in this order. The song is created from the music that was already set when creating the main track(1). In this version of Hovering the Realms, neither prominent voices nor rhythmic stimuli are used. The intention here is to surrender to the sounds and to let yourself drift through the spheres to discover your deeper wisdom. So you don't have to actively listen to the evolution of the song, you can just experience it.

This song is ideal for listening before going to sleep. It is an extra long song of 42 minutes which gives you the chance to lose track of time completely. After your consciousness is opened by the power of the whales and underwater creatures, you will automatically sink deeper into yourself halfway through the song and it becomes easy to let go of your earthly body for a while to travel.

Thoughts before starting this journey:

• “You are much more than just your body. “

• "What you think is just a reflection of you thinking it."

• “The illusion is that you are something or nothing. You are neither. "

• "Consciousness does not have to subject itself to the logic of the physical universe."

• "Because of your judgments you experience something as painful."

• "If you are willing to accept that others can heal themselves spontaneously, you can also heal yourself spontaneously."

• "The idea that there is a harsh reality that we must realistically face and that we must adapt ourselves to is nothing more than a form of fear."

• “Regret is a crack in higher self-esteem. You no longer trust that your higher self will create an experience that it needs for its own development. ”

During the first 20 minutes of this track you can do the following exercise for yourself:

• Scan your entire body and feel what is more difficult to get through or where your attention lingers.

• You form an impression of the space you occupy.

• How far does it extend?

• Now let your space expand in all directions as effortlessly as you can.

• Take everything and everyone with you.

• Now get the impression that you contain the space you just created.

• Feel where you come from.

• Feel the pulsation of your whole being, all of your "bodies."

• Short Rebirth session. You can do the rebirthing session from the beginning of track 1 or you can start here. Take a connected breath through the mouth. This means that you inhale for about 3 seconds and at your highest point release everything in one breath (you don't have to squeeze the air out, just let go). When the air is gone, do not pause or hold, but inhale immediately. In other words, there is never a stop or pause between inhaling and exhaling. Keep doing this for as long as it feels okay to you. The trained Rebirther can do a full breathing session to this music, the whole song long. Know that after a few minutes stiffnesses can form in your hands and feet, just keep breathing through them. if you feel paint, just be with it and breath. Try to keep this up for the first 20 minutes of the song. At a certain point in the song we leave the world of the sea creatures and end up on land, in the forests and finally with the nocturnal animals. In this part of the song you may soften your breathing so that you can slowly slide away into the spheres, now the deeper healing can take place which is needed for you at that particular moment.

03. Hovering the Realms - Flor del Tobacco - 07:30

LYRICS

04. HOVERING THE REALMS (GROUNDING BONUS TRACK) - 06:06

You can follow the movement suggestion below or just shake it to sink into your body and shift energy.

Suggestion: Stand up straight, bend your knees slightly and turn your tailbone slightly forward (under you), giving you the feeling of sitting down. Let your hands and arms hang down. Rest your entire torso well in your pelvis. You can now start moving gently up and down. Use the rhythm of the music for this. You can double your own rhythmic movements to the music. Let the music flow through you. Your entire skeleton is like an antenna. During "shaking" you push your energy into the ground with every downward movement. And with every upward movement you take energy from the earth into your body. Connect with your totem animal, your tribal power and your ancestors.

• Marijn De Wit: Guitar, percussion, drums, synths,… All instruments were played live, and the songs were composed, mixed and recorded by Marijn De Wit, in our own intimate home environment.

• Juanita Pyl & Marijn De Wit: Vocals

• Samuel Stroobants: Mastering

• Marijn De Wit & Li-Ma Westerhout: Art-work CD cover (The picture for the cover of the CD is a picture taken in Mayantuyacu near the Yakumama on the boiling river, during one of Marijn's trips to Peru.

IMPORTANT LISTENING TIPS

• Preferably use good quality headphones. The sounds and brainwaves work with the stereo image. So it is necessary to create a clear separation between the left and right sides (hearing / brain halves). If you are not really familiar with brainwaves, we recommend that you get background information via the link above.

• For the rhythmic track(4) it is better to work without headphones. A good, powerful speaker can reach your entire body , feeling the sounds resonate to your bones.

• Order - Depending on the moment you determine the order of the numbers. The basic song is good for any time of the day. But if you listen to the dreamscape / brainwave edit during the day, we recommend that after this deep relaxation moment you end with the rhythmic song and ground yourself before continuing with your day.

• Do not listen to the dreamscape in the car. Ideal before going to sleep.

Hovering the realms is a shamanic auditory painting, profound, self-healing, powerful and self-willed.

Marijn about ‘hovering the realms’

Last year (nov 2020) at the start of the Season's Shift I decided to create a soundscape. A sound bath to drift off and meditate. Initially this was going to be a project by myself without Juanita. One song to put on Spotify, that would be it. But in the end it turned out to be much more than that. Juanita joined and Hovering the Realms turned out to be much more than I had hoped. After the first track was finished in its raw form, I found the sound palette of the background brainwaves and nature sounds too rich to use for this track alone. So track 2 was born, an extra long deep nature-brainwave journey. After extensive testing on myself it felt necessary to add an extra song to round it up and not let the listener "hang" between the spheres. In Flor del Tobacco I brought in the energy of the Tobacco to conclude your ceremony. To clean the aura and to add a protective layer. It was a huge work to continue to listen and edut these kinds of intense long songs with a strong focus to be able to place all sounds in the space and not to drift away in the process of creation. Going through a song and listening for mistakes, correct clicks, volumes and panning… was not easy with these long tracks. Every time I almost went into meditation myself, causing me to lose details from the "ear". A good focus exercise. Now I can also enjoy the end result myself and just go on a journey with this music. I regularly do a breathing session or deep meditation on Hovering the realms early in the morning, it takes me deep within myself to parts I could not reach before. Grateful to be my own shaman. It is only now that it becomes clear to me what kind of project this actually is, I felt guided through the entire process and only now can I see and feel fully in letting go of all this. Grateful for your many years of support, love and trust.

Enjoy it

In this project we work with sounds, effects and atmospheres in such a way that the auditory image is painted, which you can also experience in trance journeys and ceremonial planting. Our senses are tuned into the day-to-day waking consciousness to capture and interpret elements in a particular way from our Tonal state. In this way you enter other dimensions during deep shamanic journeys so that your senses will work differently. Sound and image take on a much greater dimension. By working in many layers, using spatial effects and sounds as well as brainwaves, we want to paint an atmosphere that paints a landscape in the soul through the gates of each pair of ears. We guide you with the sounds. But you are the auditory artist who creates his own painting with this music, in which you are allowed to "grow" and "see".
