Golden Light

California Soil

As many of you guys know, back in the days I used to be a Los Angeles local. Indeed the first ever apartment I rented was in California and more specifically in Beverly Hills which was quite honestly an absolute dream come true as I grew up like many watching American teen flicks and rom coms. As many artists, I came to America pursuing my dreams and found so much solace and bewilderment in this highly contrasted city. I experienced the highest peaks of socialite living, adventure, crazy parties and lowest lows of absolute misery and solitude. It is quite a common thing to hear when people share about their time in L.A, there’s always somewhat of a bittersweet aftertaste about it. But still so good that we keep coming back for more. You see, the thing about L.A is that it’s a huge urban jungle surrounded by hills and nature. Unlike Paris, New York or London, Los Angeles is surrounded by lush nature and it is so easy to go on hikes or take a break by the beach. As much as you can be a “hustler” out here, a “ go getter” type of person, L.A is filled with people focused on their health, wellness and spirituality. The hippy culture is a big thing here with the Venice and Topanga influence. And you can really feel it when you come here. It’s not always the balanced or harmonious type of spirituality we’re talking about, sometimes it’s pretty much just out there. But you can truly also find actual pearls. Not only are there psychic medium shops every 2 blocks, but you can just sense the mystical atmosphere in the air. One of my personal favorites whenever I’m around is Erewhon, the well known boojee organic super market where you can find the fanciest organic goods, from probiotic sodas to crystal quartz infused ramen noodles, you name it.

So this year kicked off for me in the most surprising way possible as I landed in L.A early January for a project I had with one of the brands I work with. It has been so long ever since I’ve last been in L.A, the last time was for one of my music performances at Hotel Café a couple of years ago. This time I was here on my own and I had some free time before my project. It was so, so so bittersweet and yet honestly incredibly delicious to be back. I felt such an immense nostalgia, driving past all the places where I used to go, feeling like a local again. I went to get my matcha at my favorite usual spot, went to get my groceries and was prepping some favorite snacks in my hotel room feeling like I live here again. Such a profound joy filled my heart and I just knew that I would love California for the rest of my life. I believe that throughout our lifetime we get to discover places that drive an intrinsic connection with our souls, places that make us feel something very special at our very core, places that draw something unique out of us. L.A and Paris do this for me. It’s an unexplainable feeling. A feeling of being exactly where I’m supposed to be. I feel that way often in Switzerland too but yet again it’s somewhat different. California soil has it’s own texture, it’s own hue. And while I was there of course I had to play this very song by London Grammar throughout my entire trip as the very soundtrack of my days.

I was so happy to see some friends I haven’t seen in years. This whole stay felt absolutely magical and I truly realized that I have to come back more often. I’ve always said it, and no matter how cheesy it sounds (you guys know me, I love cheese) I truly believe I am a citizen of the world. Home is where our heart is first and foremost and yet we can grow so fond of certain places. I think L.A and Paris will always feel that way to me. No matter how much I love being back in Switzerland, back in the arms of nurturing mother Gaia, going to the forrest and getting lost in the fields, I know that traveling really does something so special to my spirit. It opens my heart, it soothes everything inside me and more and more I am able to retrieve that feeling in stillness too. It is such a blessing. This Earth is so marvelous with so many places to discover and so many adventures to be had and yet at the same time the wildest adventure we may have is the one happening inside of us right at this very second : with absolutely no need to go or be anywhere other that just fully present here and now.

With all of this being said, those of you following me on Instagram know what I am going to share… as I do have a very special announcement. It’s been two years in the making and I am finally honored a deeply excited to announce the launch of my new book “Through the Veils of Mystery” with my publisher Thought Catalog. This book is very big deal for me. Not only does it go in detail about my spiritual journey but it is also an initiation in and of itself, this text being channelled material. As the book titles explains it, the intention of this manuscript is to pierce the veils of illusions of this reality and to reveal ourselves, to ourselves, unveiling our hearts in the process. The first part of the text is my personal story as well as what happened to me late 2019 during my spiritual awakening. The rest of the text is an initiatory path through poetry as you will be walking through 7 activating gateways. This book has been healing me and transforming me in such profound ways, activating dormant aspects of my consciousness and assisting me on the path towards inner wholeness. The truth is we are already whole, yet there are veils that seem to be keeping us away from that reality. You can see my transformation simply by looking at my photos throughout the years on Instagram. In late 2019 I was drowning in darkness, sadness and melancholy. I was lost, confused. I had anxiety attacks and at times I felt like my heart would stop. After my spiritual awakening and when I started receiving the channelled material of this book, I started to feel clearer, to feel lighter. Answers were coming to me, teachers and guides were showing up. In divine humility I accepted the help, knowing my sensitivity is my power, knowing there is so much more to this life. I found the diamond at the center of my heart, the one that showed the infinite facets of my I Am Presence, the essence of who I am, of who we all are as pure crystalline energy manifesting, creating and experiencing. It is such a profound honor to share this book now with all of you. You can pre-order it by following this link.

Again I’d like to thank you for your support throughout the years, there is so much to come and I am so excited to share this new chapter with all of you. This book goes hand in hand with the music I have been writing as well. By discovering this book, you will get a glimpse at the music I will be releasing in due time. Trusting the blooming.

With my love.

Desert Rose

- OASIS OF HIDDEN DREAMS -

So obviously it’s been a while since I’ve been back from Marrakesh and I was meant to share all these wonderful pictures with you in due time yet there was always something that seemed to hold me back. It felt so new, in the best way possible trust me, to launch a new platform. Baby Kaza Bazan is getting built slowly and yet surely. I definitely don’t want to rush the process, it’s so important for me to take it step by step and to share deeply genuine content. After working for years on Kayture it definitely was quite strange to start this new chapter and yet a new platform has been calling me for so long and especially the deep need to rally a community centered around deeper more soulful subjects . Starting a new project such as this one is deeply exciting and requires a completely fresh outlook, mindset and innovative approach. There are so many topics I want to address and of course it’s a joy to already begin this process on social media with so many fantastic live interviews and a deeper insight on topics such as spirituality which is really at the center front of my life currently. The reason I am so invested in spiritual work is because I realize that everything streams from it. It really is the foundation of everything. Indeed our beliefs create our reality that’s a fact, but also our words, actions, view points and internal mental systems (meaning our relationship with the visible & the invisible). All this quite literally shapes no only our world but also all of our work. I’ve seen it at play in my music journey so vividly. As you guys might have noticed, and I know you did because many of you have been writing me messages about it, I explored the darker corners of my subconsciousness for a while and this really came about while I was recording my first EP. This whole musical process quickly turned out into a deep self-introspection and quickly opened all the hidden gateways of trapped emotions. Re-reading the lyrics of some of my older songs, I realize the psychological torment I was going through. It was beautiful, because it was like releasing so many things that were “stuck” inside, yet it was also so intense and I am sure you have felt it. I’ve always been hyper sensitive and aware of the intricacies of the world. At a certain point in my life, specifically around the period of the EP recording, I was going through tremendous hardship in my relationships and it seemed to me as if life was a real battlefield and I had to re-calibrate entirely my understanding and relationship with love. It brought up so many of my dormant, unhealed traumas back to the surface which I had the opportunity to put aside for a while as I was traveling and working on Kayture. This is really why there’s this distinctive physical “shift” from pink blondie to dark goth in such a short period of time. Of course the way we look often times transpires how we feel, it was definitely my case. I’ve always been a very bright, luminous human being and I believe my physical transformation quite literally represented me diving deep into the depths of my subconsciousness to heal these wounds that were left open for all this time. Now I celebrate this wholly space of No-Thing-ness within, the silence, the space. It might be my scorpio sun and ascendant that make it all-together even more intense aha, but I have truly made peace with both my light and my shadow and am now integrating on a psycho-somatic level all these breakthroughs. And yet I can truly say that spiritual development is never over, once we think we’re done healing, new aspects of our being come up to be integrated. That’s the beauty of the continuous cycles of self calibration and inner deep nurturing beginning with : inner self acceptance.

Needless to say, I went through a whole meltdown and life review while remaining alive. I had this belief in fact that one can only experience such a life review once you pass away, and yet I can say that it is 100% possible to do it while incarnated. I had the opportunity to review my entire life with a lot of perspective, I re-awakened dormant cellular memories in regards to certain past lives and the very physical effects that had on this life, especially from my birth and on, I learned about my main karmic patterns and how to work with them to eventually shift pattern repetitions. Eventually I learned and still learn every single day how to optimize my experience as a human being on every level of my life, to integrate more awareness into my experience and to truly be, speak and act from a space of absolute peace. It is told that we only use 10% of our brain capacity, all these spiritual modalities when done correctly and with proper intention, meaning genuinely, can actually activate these dormant areas and this is the reality of why and how mystics and professional psychics get to actually see and feel very accurately subtle information. It has been scientifically proven through MRI brain scans. Isn’t that fascinating? It seems that more and more science is confirming what spiritual wisdom lineages have been trying to say for centuries.

My main goal is to be able to bring teachings and concrete methods of self-development through this platform so that you have everything in one place to reach your goals of self-mastery and realization, we are honestly doing it all together. I would like to appear as a guide, guiding you on your own journey, providing techniques, trying them out myself before actually bringing them to you. There are so many so to say “spiritual movements” nowadays and I’d like to be your way-shower in the sense of actually coming to you with embodied experience as someone who’s tried out and is still working with what’s out there and giving tangible feedback on what works and what doesn’t whether it’s books, means of mediation, different healing techniques and so on. So make sure to stay tunes as much will be shared in the following weeks. I’d like to thank you as always for your love, your support and your presence which truly mean the world to me. The photos I am sharing in this article were shot at an absolutely mesmerizing location in Marrakesh, the Amanjena resort slightly outside la Medina. Amanjena is truly an oasis of peace. After a year of almost 0 travelling (you can imagine how challenging it was at first for me as my career always evolved around travel for so many years) it was absolutely phenomenal to arrive to such a safe haven of beauty with such a profound sense of mysticism. Thanks a million times to Amanjena for hosting us so dearly, for welcoming us with such warmth and care. We truly felt like queens and I hope that these pictures here can give you a glimpse of what it actually felt like to be there. In these photos I am wearing the beautiful brand Les Inconnus. I hope that you’ll enjoy this editorial shot by my talented friend Iulia Matei.

As always, with all my love.

The Beauty of Marrakesh

Surrender to the Miracle

Well, first of all : WELCOME TO THIS NEW PLATFORM! I am honestly so excited and happy about this. It took me a long time to take the decision to switch platforms and yet I am truly beyond words as I eventually took the leap of faith. Kayture still very much exists and is live, I will be keeping all archived articles up on there however the website just didn’t feel right for where I am headed currently with my career, the decisions I am making and the environment I wish to create. I felt like I needed something lighter, a complete new chapter, new step. I feel like I need to honor the past and step into the new now. Also the platform I was using at the time wasn’t as user friendly as the interface I aim to create here where everything will be centered in one place : Youtube videos, articles, meditations, music and even eventually some other surprises that will follow along.

If you’ve been following me for a while then you know how much I love writing. It’s always been one of my biggest passions and so obviously I need a proper website where I can share freely and openly with all of you. There have been so many wonderful things going on, amidst the current challenges I find ways to stay in clarity, in peace and especially in serenity. I hope that you’ve been able to follow some of the great IGTV sessions we’ve been doing on Instagram, we’ve had such incredible guests on and truly powerful conversations which I think are so highly helpful to navigate the current circumstances, bridging the gaps of knowledge and coming to an even wiser and grander understanding of life and all of it’s complexities.

I’ve been working on a lot of new music these last couple of months, patiently taking the time and not rushing the process. I do it when I feel like it, when it feels absolutely 100% right an authentic while also I’ve been so happy to focus on Youtube content and the possibility to have even more in depth conversations with you all on very important topics such as Spirituality, Health and Wisdom. I really recommend you guys to check out the latest IGTV we did with the great Quantum Kassy (@quantumkassy on IG) where we talk about Alien Life, Extraterrestrials, Ancient Wisdom and so much more. All of this to say, there is much creativity pouring and I hope to offer you much inspiring content assisting you in your own journey of grace and divine remembrance.

Now let’s talk about this incredible trip in Marrakesh. I was so excited to travel as it’s been months since it was possible for me to do so. My heart filled with gratitude, my eyes with tears of joy I arrived on this holy land with my whole soul fully open to regeneration, holy healing and divine surrender. I meditated every single day, in absolute communion with this powerful land. For the first time of my life I decided to actually fully strip naked and do a whole body sun charging which I’ve never done before. I’ve used to be very shy about my body but these last couple of months, doing so much inner work I realized how important it is to physically honor myself and charge my whole being with the holy healing power of the sun. There were so many corners of my body I needed to bring to light and it felt like an absolute blessing to lay bare on the ground, charging up on the sun, naked and free and just surrender to myself and to the sky. I began my trip this way, this was the very first thing I did while arriving. So I can tell you : I was charged up to fully enjoy this adventure.

Marrakesh treated us with so much love, so much care and nurturing. It felt like a gigantic hug. The scents, the smiles and the spices tickling our noses, I traveled with two of my girl friends and I can truly say we were treated like the queens we really are. While exploring the souk we had the most heart warming conversations with the locals who were so happy to welcome in travelers as their businesses have severely suffered due to current circumstances. It was an honor to support local commerce to our extent. I was amazed to see the freedom at heart of these people who knew exactly what is going on and who spoke about it very clearly and openly. It felt like I came here for that, I came here to witness humanity’s sovereignty in pure divine action, people smiling, rejoicing, staying wise and grand even throughout challenging circumstances. It soothed my whole being.

Throughout the whole stay I kept my journal very close, writing and communing within the now. It was also deeply meditative and contemplative to film the Marrakesh vlog which you can find at the end of this article if you haven’t already seen it on Youtube. In this article it is my joy to share with you photos we shot at the beautiful Riad Dar Darma in the very heart center of Marrakesh. Riad Dar Darma is truly a hidden haven in close proximity to the souk, the ambiance and interior is superbly mystical and sensual with an eclectic diversity of materials and oriental details. We enjoyed the most wonderful late night conversations in this mysterious environment around beautiful vegetarian tajines and home cooked dishes. What’s really lovely is that a Riad is very much like a town house more so than a hotel. So the approach is very human, convivial and intimate offering you a very rooted and authentic experience of the city while also reminiscing in the absolute beauty of high quality savoir faire. I hope you will enjoy these images as much as it was creating them and if you ever stay there, let them know you got the recommendation from here and I promise you they will welcome you with the upmost care and arms wide open. I wish you a beautiful discovery and sending you as always my dearest wishes and many blessings.

Cheers,

Kristina
