Sharing about the mystical Amanjena Resort, a true Oasis right outside of La Media in Marrakesh.
- 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.
