LISTENING TO EARTH
Listen.
That is the sound of our home, our common house. The place where I live and where you also live.
Now listen.
When you learn to listen to the sounds,
you strengthen the sacred power of Mother Earth.”
Shirley Krenak
We, indigenous peoples, we are ancient, we are the origin and the first human mold of land; of the Earth. We have that inside of us, that of listening. From the hissing of a bush to the sounds of our spirit and our heart. We believe that sounds are part of the living ecosystem, the sounds of the wind, of the water, of the voice of animals. Sounds are a part of our daily life.
We grew up listening to music, we eat listening to music, we breathe the ancestral music. My father, Ytchó Ytchó Krenak, brought us this simplicity of knowing how to listen. And it is, by essence, from simplicity, that the Healing Sounds are born.
The Krenak People, my people, Kre - means head, Nak - means land. Our entire process of concentration occurs through the chant that comes out of our mouth, echoing healing. Sound heals disease and evil, heals the body. We have this since our birth. And I believe that every basic healing process comes through the power of listening. Listening to the other, listening around, listening to the whole world.
I am Shirley Djukurnã Krenak and this is an invitation for us to listen and feel together the healing through the sounds of the Atlantic Forest, my territory and the history of my people.
Erehé Ynhauit!
