This is A Journey To The Center of Self.

I wrote this song with a broken heart. At the time, my relationships with others and the relationship I had with myself was failing. I needed to readjust the way I saw myself as well as the standards & boundaries I upheld for the people in my life.

On my journey of inner alchemy, I spent a good amount of time at this river in Tobago that you see in the cover art. I would meditate, sing, think, write, connect with nature, and other forms of shadow work.

The HeartCycles logo, which can be seen three times in the cover art represents transformation of the heart. Life & love can bring us difficult times, but that energy can always be transmuted to spring forth a new, more uplifting vibration if we look within. When we connect with our hearts in deeper ways, a new kind of magic is unlocked within us.

Produced, Recorded, Performed, Mixed, Mastered, & Cover Art all done by Carissa Visionary!

Lyrics

Said no more waiting by the phone for ya

I love myself so I can't put up with that old mess

I'm so blessed

Lately I been cleansing by the river, river

Waiting for my soul to be delivered, delivered

Trynna hear myself a little clearer, clearer

Voices fading and I wish that i was nearer

Nearer to me

To me

How did I get so far awayyyy?

How did i get so far awayyyyyyyyy

From home?
