Who is Ophidia?

I released a new single a few days ago called Ophidia and you might wonder who that is or what the means?

Ophidia is a scientific name for all modern snakes and reptiles closely related to snakes.

The name Ophidia derives from the Ancient Greek word “ Ophidion” meaning small snake.

So why the hell am am singing about snakes?

A few years ago I embarked on another one of my healing journeys and this one was under the wings of homeopathy.

I had a huge privilege to be guided by my close friend and incredibly powerful homeopath @ero_health_and_wellness

She helped find my constitutional remedy, the remedy that would help penetrate and unearth the deepest, unconscious wounds and induce healing and transformation.

As many of you know homeopathic remedies can be made of pretty much anything and there is one remedy that is made of snakes poison.

This is the one that was found to be my personal constitutional remedy.

The journey of taking the snakes poison remedy for a period of a few years was wild and powerful and really intense!!

It was so humbling to experience this encounter with my own remedy that I was inspired to write and dedicate a song to it.

Ophidia is a snakes poison and healing remedy at the same time.

The biggest lesson of it all is the visceral understanding of how our deepest wounds and shadows hold our deepest healing and our innate gifts, but only after we are courageous enough to face and embrace them!


“Ophidia”

So can you help me, heal me and deeply feel me?
Then don’t be scared, my poison is as poisonous as yours.

Unraveling pathways, doorways, you’ll get in your way
You will accomplish what you came to do

Ophidia Ophidia Ophidia Ophidia

How will you show me, teach me and then allow me
to meet you and to join you in the darkness of my soul?

Will you just bite me, drink me or will you fight me?
I will surrender to the remedy you hold

Ophidia Ophidia Ophidia Ophidia

It’s been eating me real slow alive, as I hide, and I lied
Never to reveal my inner mind
Burst in flames of fury, I’m in a war
I am soar, from the roar
It’s a fire, alarm I can’t ignore

Remedies, past lives, this life and future new lives
I feel it’s all just happening right now and at the same time
Desire to meet me is yours as strong as mine is
Because what I want also wants me

That was my 23 year old resting bitch face, which That was my 23 year old resting bitch face, which was actually my admiring “Damn, you’re killin’ it!” face I had, while the horn player was improvising! 
Behind me was Flip Philipp, my band mate and co-founder of our former jazz quintet “Lana&Flip”, and we played at Joe Zawinul’s Birdland in Vienna on that night and every week as the house band. 
I miss those times and those guys and it seems like a few lifetimes ago but it sure laid some grounds for the human and musician I am today! 🛠

I look back at 2021 with gratitude. It was an easi I look back at 2021 with gratitude. It was an easier year than the year before. It brought with it a fresh smell of hope of a better future and a knowing that the struggles and pain of 2020 and slight relief of 2021 will bear its fruit for us soon to come. My heart cries for all of the people that are in fear and in grief of the lost world. There’s is hardly anything one can say but to feel empathy and understanding that we are grieving and it will take time to heal from the great loss. 
I pray may the fear that momentarily rules the world be transformed into love and empowerment! 
May we all know with certainty that this too shall pass and although times they are changing and life will never be the same after 2020; the things that are most precious and of true meaning can never be destroyed nor altered! 

2020 has taken away my father, my work, my home, my dreams and crushed my ego. 
2021 has continued crushing my dreams and my ego so nicely and continuously. 

I wish that 2022 takes it all, the old beliefs, false dreams, all the heavy weight of expectation, the big inner militant that is never satisfied and that takes the joy and peace out of my life. 
May I continue to cut through all the bullshit that’s not real and feed and nourish the good things in my life. 
And may I continue to heal and strengthen my body, mind and soul in knowing that healing is my biggest strength. 

Thank you to all of you who have been supporting me as a human and artist! Thank you for streaming my music, watching my videos and buying my music on Bandcamp! It is an honor to bring joy into your life!

Link in my bio @lanacencic to listen on your preferred streaming service. 🧡

As the holidays are approaching, this seems to be a more stressful time for all of us and instead of trying to become faster and get more things done, I have to remind myself of slowing down and grounding myself. Some people like sitting still in meditation and some prefer moving in meditation. “Silence” is an 11 minute movement meditation track for anyone who likes to move while connecting with inner stillness.
