This Album Catalyzed My Spiritual Awakening

I have been gatekeeping this gem for years — now it’s time to pass it on

It’s been three years since I came across this album on YouTube in the Winter of 2020. I was a month and a half fresh from a really bad breakup with my ex.

It was New Year’s Eve, and I stepped out to get a celebratory drink when the following album popped up on my recommended

(Click on the red ‘play’ icon in the center of the image and the video will start, along with some special effects.)

It’s from the label: NUMA

The EP is called Kura Kura

The collaborators are: Baptiste Sejourne & Kama Lila Sol

Running time is: 22:24

Personal suggestion: Earphones only!!!

Once I saw the artwork, I felt enchanted by it.

Something told me if I hit play I’d be changing my whole life.

My intuition has never been wrong.

It was my introduction to a musical genre known as folktronica, a mixture of folk music and electronica. Mixed in with some acoustic. It’s what I imagine magick itself to sound like.

(Plus, I have Indigenous ancestry so it sounds like home is calling whenever I spend time with it.)

As it played, I felt like I was stepping through a portal into a different life. It was something you had to feel to understand but what I can tell you is that I finally started to feel that sense of “I’m gonna be okay” creeping up on me.

I couldn’t explain it, but I knew I would be alright. I also knew Kura Kura and I would be lifelong friends after this, too.

And we’ve been.

I used to listen to this when I got stoned.

Then I got clean and listened to it to navigate my panic attacks after surviving a murder attempt last year.

Now, I listen to it when I do yoga and meditate. Stoned or sober, anxious or calm, I have always listened to this album to create.

Throughout my many phases since then, this album has been on this spiritual journey with me and has become a great resource of great peace.

Believe it or not, I have a specific collection of songs and albums that I never listen to too often to preserve the magical feelings they give me. Certain musical compositions that I refuse to let get old to me.

This entire album is on that list.

It immediately puts me in a meditative state. Add to that the fact that I was still a stoner at the time, and it was a completely magickal recipe for meditation.

This whole album has been a major influence throughout my spiritual journey, and I have held it close to my chest for so long, but it’s time to share it now.

I’ve learned that the best thing to do is take what works for me and pass it on. You never know who could benefit from your resources.

(If you do smoke or engage in anything that takes you to that higher place I suggest you listen to it then. Not to mention, the covert art moves like water as the music plays. Real trippy shit.)

This is the YouTube channel where I found the album:

There are many more enchanting albums to discover at your leisure. I hope you find what you’re looking for. Happy Holidays Everybody!

Enjoy ❤
