Ancestral Breath: Native Flute Experiences
A hunter was alone and sad in love, without hope he abandoned himself under a big tree. On a moonless night, listening to the silence, he fell asleep with the soft and mysterious melody of the winds over the dry branches of that tree.
He dreamed of a little Bird that breathed fire and passion into his soul. When she woke up, she saw a flute beside her, and the instant she breathed into that flute, her sadness was transformed into beauty. With the help of the Bird, the young man learned to unite what is above with what is below, like the great Tree! The flute was born! May love blow in our hearts!
By blowing the native flute you will be tuning into vibrations of very Ancient Winds!
The Native Flute is a very easy instrument to play. Even if you don't know anything about music, you'll be amazed at what you can do in a short amount of time, with little practice. You only need “heart”, and you will live a transforming experience.
Everything on Earth vibrates, has rhythm, sound and its own music, when we discover singing we penetrate the magic of enchantment, we create a relationship and resonance with the essence. You also have a song, it's inside you, feel it and let it flow, you just need a heart!
A child can learn any language peacefully, being in its origin, because language becomes natural, musicality is natural in human beings, and can be developed or not. With the original (native) instruments, it is easier to connect with our ancestral matrix and rescue our musical self-expression, such as drums, rattles, flutes, among others.
My encounter with the Native Flutes changed my relationship with music, enabled self-expression through a second voice capable of creating and expressing in a simple and amazing way, feelings that vibrate directly from the soul, sensations that hover in a subtle space where words inhabit. unspeakable. In our culture based on European musical traditions, the Native Flute takes the place of the Healing Flute. Its simplicity and wonder invites us to fly into a musical era before the concept of “right music” and “wrong music”, in a place where music was for self-expression rather than performance, exhibition or entertainment.
With the Native Flute, we can disconnect from the musical conditioning rooted in our culture of “right” and “wrong”, and discover the magic of improvised music. With the Native Flute, there is no room for thinking about right and wrong notes, the idea is to create an intimacy with the flute to the point where the fingers slide without thinking and the music becomes an expressive extension of the breath. When playing a Native Flute, you will feel the magical and powerful effect that its simplicity and sound involve people and yourself, even if you consider that your improvisation has been imperfect or inexperienced. We all have the right to share our vibration and be heard, and with the Native Flute, we can rescue this right, in addition to having the opportunity to communicate our emotions in resonance with the other vibrations of the Universe.

In the era of self-knowledge, the rescue of spontaneous expression and healing through sound is increasingly present. The flute is a wonderful path to this awakening. Increasingly, quantum physics and cymatics studies are approaching the native myths of origin, which in their symbolic language, reveal sound as a creator of worlds, which, by breaking the sonic barriers, created the elements and all existing life forms.
I believe that our ancestors, when observing nature and with a deep yearning to communicate and interact with it, realized that the voice, our first instrument, was not enough, think that the jaw bone that made possible our form of vocal expression makes a few 60 thousand years. So they created wind instruments that could extend the voice in the tones of nature beings, such as birds, whales, etc...
