Music For Tantra
Polarity In Tantra
In Tantra one of the fundamental principles is the principle of polarity. The universe has a masculine principle called Shiva and a feminine principle called Shakti.
The masculine represents the transcendent aspects of the universe: The consciousness, the spirit, the world of ideas, while the feminine represents the imminent aspect of the universe: The material, the body, nature, our moods, life itself.
Shiva without Shakti is but a corpse, concepts with no "body", no "life". Shakti without Shiva is chaos and destruction. It is the universe with no master plan and no essence to keep it together.
Together they make the dance of creation, the dance of preservation and the dance of destruction.
The polarity of Shiva and Shakti exists on all levels of the universe. On the large cosmic scale as huge galaxies (Shakti) revolving around black holes which are singularities (Shiva) around which the galaxies dances.
The dance between Shiva and Shakti can be seen in the couple relationship and even in our own beings as the interplay between our awareness and our bodies.
Shiva is the spark of consciousness and Shakti is the energy. Shiva is like a mirror who reflects Shakti so she can become aware of herself.
The Law Of Resonance
The law of Resonance is a fundamental tantric law. As we mentioned before, the universe is Shakti or energy vibrating in different frequencies.
Energy with one frequency will be attracted to other energies of the same frequency (the law of attraction).
A system which pulsates with a specific frequency can transfer data from another system vibrating with the same frequency.
For example, if you vibrate with an energy of happiness you will start to transfer data from the huge universal storehouse of happiness: inspiration and ideas associated with happiness, insights of all people that have been happy and who have transferred their ideas to the universal storehouse of happiness etc.
Similar resonances can be transmitted through different mediums. A landscape can give you happy thoughts just as well as music and colors can.
We should therefor be very careful with which resonances we allow into our being. Listening to heavy metal for instance will put you in resonance with all the people that ever listened to heavy metal and as experiments with plants show, it is not an energy which is very conducive to life.
Some say that you have to expose yourself to negative energies to become stronger. This may be true but only if you have the consciousness (Shiva) to go through it with awareness. Otherwise you will be overwhelmed and it will do you no good.
You should rather put your attention on the good beneficial energies!
The world of Tantra
Tantrics study energy (Shakti) in order to understand the essence (Shiva) of that energy. In this study the world has been categorized into a large pantheon of Gods and Goddesses each being the lord of a specific range of frequencies or aspects of the universe.
For example the energy of compassion has a specific frequency of vibration. In the west we would call it compassion and we do not see the need to have it represented by a Goddess.
But deifying an energy has an important function: It enables us to identify easier with the energy as it gains a human face. It is easier to digest and to take in.
Through the process of identification we gain a kind of empathy with the object and start to experience the world through "the eyes of the object".
Each Goddess has a bija mantra associated with it which has the core vibration of that range of energies associated with the Goddess.
This sound or mantra is repeated silently inside the worshipper of the Goddess.
The word Tantra in fact means "Network" as the universe consists of a huge range of energies interconnected to each other. Tantra offers us the opportunity of going into resonance processes with all these energies through its pantheon of Gods and Goddesses and their associated Mantras.
These tools enable us to get into contact with any aspect of creation.
Tantra and Music
Music offers us a powerful way of getting into a resonance process.
An artwork created by an artist in a specific resonance will transport these resonances directly to the observer/listener of the art.
Music can be made for any Goddess, for any idea, for any concept. It is the responsibility of the artist to enter as best as he can into that resonance and to convey it through his music.
In this way the artist can be a priest, a person who through his spiritual practice vibrates with the Bija and who can convey it to other people through the music. - 18780
