**HEADPHONES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED**

Intended to be listened to in times of uncertainty —

When you are afraid of the unfamiliar,

Realize this is your opportunity to create.

Darkness is not meant to be feared, but embraced.

Without darkness, the light cannot exist ✨

When you find yourself in the midst of abyss…

You must consider this:

You are the light…

And right where you are meant to be🕯️

Darkness can be a companion,

Yin + Yang = Balance

The unknown is no cause for alarm, it is a canvas —

Infinite possibility that you can decorate with all the beauty of your soul’s purpose.

Now is your chance to create the inner world you wish to project onto the outer world.

When you close your eyes, what’s the best case scenario you can think of? What do you see?

Now is your chance to realize this dream 💭

Giving thanks to the depth, the stillness and calm…

In the uncharted shadows,
Of the midnight zone…

Redirect your fear and let your imagination roam…

and lead you to your true home…

Of being adaptable, balanced and whole 💙

Visual by Lachlan Turczan & Conner Griffith. Made by Lachlan’s custom-engineered transducers directing low-frequency vibrations into a shallow water basin. When “i am not afraid (creation mantra)” by Jhené Aiko is played, the vibrations generate cymatic patterns—standing waveforms that modulate the water’s surface into a dynamic field of wavelets, distorting and scattering reflected light from the candle in the center.

Lyrics:
I am not afraid
I am not afraid of
I am not afraid
Not afraid of the dark
I am okay here
I can create here
I am not afraid
Not afraid of the dark
I am not afraid
I am not afraid of
Not afraid of the dark
I am ok here
I can create here

I am the light
Lean into the light
Everything is right here
I become the light here
I’m not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid of
Not afraid of the dark
I can create here
I am okay here
I am not afraid
I am not afraid of
Not afraid of the dark
I can create here

I am all right here
I am the light here
I am not afraid
I am not afraid of
Not afraid of the dark
Fall into the space
Fall into the space
I am not afraid
I am not afraid of
Not afraid to fall
Fall into the space
I am not afraid
I am not afraid of
Not afraid of the dark
I can create here

I am okay here
I am not afraid
Fall into the space
Fall into the space
I am not afraid
I am not afraid of
Not afraid of the dark
Not afraid of the fall
Into the space
Into the space
I can create
I am not afraid of
I am not afraid
I am not afraid of
