‘Kuna Lullaby’ - From AyaTunes
(10 mins 22 secs)
From the beautiful AyaTunes series (click here) for more information
Andrea "Fluterscooter" Fisher is best known for her popular line of flute and instrument bags, however she has also released 3 albums of meditation and medicine music (Ayatunes), which are played in healing sessions and ceremonies throughout the world. "Kuna Lullaby" from Volume 2 was created after taking an excursion during the Panamá Flute Festival. She has always been intrigued and inspired by indigenous people, and had heard about the Guna Yala people of Panamá, so she took a taxi three hours from Panamá City and then a ferry boat to visit San Blas Islands and then a paddle boat to their remote island. While walking through the Guna Yala village, Andrea heard the most beautiful and pure sound of a child singing a kind of lullaby. Walking down the dirt roads, following the voice and recorded it on her iPhone. It still remains the purest voice Andrea has ever heard, and she structured the song around it, adding flutes and India-based singer Mahalakshmi. “I've been told the song has healed many people in ceremony because the voice takes them back to their childhood and a time of innocence”.

Clear Mind (extended version)
(20 mins 10 secs)
Take a moment to focus on your breath. Simply observe as you inhale and exhale, staying present in each breath. Notice the origin of your breath and how it gracefully exits your body.
As you allow yourself to drift, imagine lying on a sandy beach or gazing up at the starlit sky. Let the soothing music blend with your breath, creating a harmonious union that brings clarity to your mind.
Should your thoughts wander, gently guide your attention back to your breath. Let the music and your breath work together, sweeping away any hindrances that have been weighing you down.
Now, invite your mind to embark on a peaceful journey. Follow the enchanting sound of the flute, for it holds the key to unlocking your true potential. Like the rhythmic ebb and flow of your breath, the flute's melody rises and falls, sustaining you. In those moments when your mind clears, even if only briefly, notice the spaciousness it leaves behind.
This space is the essence of your authentic self—the true you, the embodiment of your dreams.
As the music gently fades away, softly repeat the following mantra: "I am me. I am worth it. I am unique." Allow these affirmations to resonate within you, acknowledging your inherent value and embracing your individuality.

Rhythm of the breath
(10 mins 6 seconds)
Direct your attention to your breath, focusing solely on its rhythm. Notice the sensation of each inhalation and exhalation, observing where the breath originates from within your body and where it gently departs.
Take a few moments to be fully present with your breath. Then, allow your awareness to expand to the present moment as a whole.
If your mind starts to wander, gently redirect your focus back to your breath. If thoughts arise, label them as "thoughts." If images or pictures come to mind, label them as "pictures." Similarly, if any feelings surface, label them as "feelings." This labelling practice helps you detach from engagement with your thoughts and provides a sense of distance.
Let the music and your breath serve as gentle anchors, guiding your focus. Follow the melodic sound of the flute, merging it with your breath. As you label any arising thoughts, images, or feelings, gradually discover fleeting moments of peace—brief instances when you feel a profound connection with your inner self.
In these moments, recognise that the space created within you is the true essence of who you are—the person of your dreams. As the music softly fades away, softly recite the following mantra: "I am not my thoughts, my thoughts are impermanent."
Allow this mantra to resonate within you, affirming that you are separate from the transient nature of your thoughts. Embrace the impermanence of your thoughts, acknowledging that they do not define your true self.
As you conclude this meditation, carry the sense of inner peace and detachment with you as you navigate the world around you.

If you're feeling stuck with a decision or something is bothering you, affecting your focus and your flute playing, it's time to dedicate the next 8 minutes to reset your emotional state. Let's embark on a journey of inner transformation.
As the alto begins playing, shift your attention to your breath. Take a few moments to breathe in slowly through your nose, counting to 5, and exhale through your mouth, also counting to 5. With each inhalation, allow your mind to gently relax, creating space for the key to resetting your inner self to emerge.
As you surrender to the soothing flow of the beautiful flute solo, tap into a memory of a time when you experienced profound happiness. It could be a small and seemingly insignificant moment or a major event in your life. The important thing is that it brought you immense joy and contentment. Recall that event and vividly immerse yourself in its essence, engaging all your senses. See the colours, feel the sensations, hear the sounds, taste the flavours, and smell the scents associated with that memory. Amplify these sensations tenfold, making them incredibly vivid and real.
Transform this amplified experience into a warm feeling that emanates from within you. Allow this warmth to gradually permeate your entire body, spreading a sense of happiness and freedom.

Now, as the music begins to fade, imagine unlocking an imaginary valve within yourself. Allow the warmth, along with any remaining negativity, to flow out of your body, completely releasing and purging any lingering discomfort.

I’m Proud of Who I am
(5 minutes 24 seconds)
Take a moment to engage in a meditation that nurtures your self-worth and helps you find peace amidst the fast-paced world of music. It's common to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others, especially when we are immersed in instrumental study or preparing for performances. However, it is crucial for our well-being to remember that we are proud of who we are and what we do.
Find a comfortable position and decide whether you'd like to close your eyes or keep them open for this meditation.

Embrace that feeling of self-appreciation and let it radiate within you. Recognise that there is nobody else quite like you, with your unique talents, strengths, and experiences.
It's important to acknowledge that everyone has their own set of weaknesses and imperfections. However, it is precisely these differences that make each individual remarkable and extraordinary. Embrace your uniqueness and be proud of yourself for who you are and what you bring to the world of music.
Allow the music to continue its gentle flow, providing a soothing backdrop for your exploration of self-worth. Take a few moments to bask in the warmth and pride that arises from within. Know that you are deserving of love, respect, and appreciation, both from others and from yourself.

I Am Good - Repeat!
(7 mins and 8 seconds)
Take a moment to engage in a meditation that reinforces your confidence and self-worth as a flutist.
Find a comfortable position and allow yourself to relax. Reflect on the fact that as instrumentalists, we often unintentionally compare ourselves to others, which can negatively impact our well-being. However, the next 7 minutes are dedicated to reminding yourself of your own musical abilities and unique musicianship. Believe in yourself.
As the gentle ebb and flow of the music surrounds you, you can choose to keep your eyes open or closed. Watch as thoughts enter your mind, observing them without judgment or attachment, as if they are passing from left to right along with the music. Take note of what you see and feel, but avoid labelling or assigning importance to each thought.
Instead, gently focus your attention on the words "I Am Good." Visualise these words developing before you, gradually growing in size and becoming vibrant with colour. You might be surprised to notice the words subtly moving in harmony with the music. Keep your focus anchored on the words "I Am Good."
Now, imagine the colour of the words transitioning from light red to deep red, and from light blue to deep blue.

Insomnia
(3 mins 21 seconds)
As you immerse yourself in the timeless melodies of the bansuri, become aware of the profound impact your thoughts, anxieties, anger, stresses, and even excitement have on your sleep. As the enchanting music begins, envision a radiant candle before you, its flickering flame captivating your gaze. Observe how it gracefully dances from side to side, synchronised with the bansuri's gentle rhythms, guiding you on a brief inward journey.
Now, direct your focus to a specific thought or worry that arises within you. Instead of resisting or categorising it, simply observe it without judgment. Like a compassionate observer, witness its presence without engaging with it. Allow the mesmerising notes of the flute to gradually unravel the knots of worry that entangle your mind.
As the music gently fades away, embrace a few moments of silence. During this tranquil pause, remind yourself of the profound significance of restful sleep for your overall well-being. Let go of the struggle to sleep, relinquishing the space and time you once allocated to insomnia. Embrace a new mindset, knowing that your sleep is a vital component of your holistic health.
