Lyrics to Slow Buchla Sunshine (feat. Elena Brower)
When you take this time to connect to what is deeper than any wrong, any secret, any grief
That connection will enhance your immunity
And time in this connection helps recreate of your body a cohesive, coherent community
And when you manage to string a few of these moments together
You can sense in your being a distinct wordless relief
That's the welcoming of a new perspective
That's the heart's nourishment, cleansing, protective
And this listening and breathing is a form of stabilizing
It's an invitation to go inside to see everything and slowly, quietly transform what is heavy into more grounding
And change what is dark into a profound and lasting teaching
All that's required in these few minutes of time
Is a willingness to find more space in your mind
And when you're ready to diligently and generously share these rays of clarity
Silently, wordlessly, subtly, swiftly
Breathe with me
Every time we remember ourselves, we pierce eternity
Every time we slow our minds, we find more kindness, more efficiency, more invaluable certainty
Every time you breathe your mind quiet, you become more free
Every time you touch that place of stillness within you, you become peace
So welcome home
Welcome home to the knowing with which you are born
The knowing that's slowly been covered over like moss covers stones
So that every single time you felt uncontrollably alone
Every single time you felt unprotected
Every moment someone seemed to render you helpless
This one deep breath is how you solve it
This is how you let the light back in
And when you consider what's holding you back right now
What's been taking up far too much space, too much capable mental real estate
Remember, our work is to address it
To allow ourselves this time to relate to it
And take a second to consider what's gripping you at this time
Let that trouble take a gentle shape in your mind
So that we can speak to this forgetfulness, the ultimate illusion
We make respectful contact with all of our aversions
We see all confrontation through the lens of compassion
Take one deep breath
That connection will enhance your immunity
And time in this connection helps recreate of your body a cohesive, coherent community
And when you manage to string a few of these moments together
You can sense in your being a distinct wordless relief
That's the welcoming of a new perspective
That's the heart's nourishment, cleansing, protective
And this listening and breathing is a form of stabilizing
It's an invitation to go inside to see everything and slowly, quietly transform what is heavy into more grounding
And change what is dark into a profound and lasting teaching
All that's required in these few minutes of time
Is a willingness to find more space in your mind
And when you're ready to diligently and generously share these rays of clarity
Silently, wordlessly, subtly, swiftly
Breathe with me
Every time we remember ourselves, we pierce eternity
Every time we slow our minds, we find more kindness, more efficiency, more invaluable certainty
Every time you breathe your mind quiet, you become more free
Every time you touch that place of stillness within you, you become peace
So welcome home
Welcome home to the knowing with which you are born
The knowing that's slowly been covered over like moss covers stones
So that every single time you felt uncontrollably alone
Every single time you felt unprotected
Every moment someone seemed to render you helpless
This one deep breath is how you solve it
This is how you let the light back in
And when you consider what's holding you back right now
What's been taking up far too much space, too much capable mental real estate
Remember, our work is to address it

We see all confrontation through the lens of compassion
