Musical Theory, in Energy
Tue, February 24, 2009 - 7:48 AMI want to assert the twelve chakra set within this seven model. I first found it in 'The ancient secret of the flower of life'. He just puts it out there... and then moves on to other ideas. he says the two sets do not work together. I believe they can... with a minor shift.
how do they fit together? well the same way music does.
in music you are only using seven of twelve notes at a time (in most cases, jazz plays around a bit more).
Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, (Do) the last do is the thirteenth note in the twelve, the same note as the first do, but at twice the wavelength.
basically, you take the twelve, and start at any one of them.
Do Root
skip pelvis
Re navel
skip solar plexus
Mi heart
Fa lungs
skip throat
Sol chin
skip nosetip
La eyebrow
skip forehead
Ti top of head
(Do) above head (return)
Same pattern for every key
start at a different center
same pattern in the chakras
all the white notes on a piano are one 'key' of music - C. They are like the seven chakras (with a little shift).
the black keys expand the set to twelve and EACH of the twelve has their own 'key' based on the above pattern... seven notes... just like the seven chakras.
So the point is, if you follow the same cycle of changes BUT START AT DIFFERENT CHAKRAS, we can share realities but not step on each others toes so to speak.
and in the same vein, the new age movement can all exist within one 'set' but other sets are alive and 'working for other people cultures, even other beings... right here under our awareness.
And like in music, there isn't ONE right way... but there are patterns that work, and patterns that do not work very well.
this approach helps give insight into how, and why, there are so many 'different' systems of chakras. In music, these systems do not compete, they just exist. a Jazz musician will say ' play this rhythm in C major...' or 'play this rhythm in F# minor' they are supposed to know how to play more than one. they may LIKE one key more than another, but it would be silly to say this one is right, and the other isn't even real.
but you CAN say that this or that pattern is 'dissonant'. They almost never play three notes i a row!
But the present new age chakra set DOES play three in a row!
root, pelvis navel
now if you look at the way we use chakras, right now, its kind of like pecking at one note at a time, even holding it for quite a while in meditation. If you played music this way, holding one note for ten minutes, then the next... well it would be hard to 'hear' that anything is off... within this approach, its hard to discover the flow between them.
I'm suggesting, if you look at the pattern I layed out above, that the set we are using IS NOT actually a 'real' set. its just almost a set, it is actually a dissonant set, with an energetic kink, that is meant to keep us pecking, rather than playing music.
because the flow is out of balance... we never get to open the groove, and very little energy will flow... as we begin to learn.
it is like kindergarten, training wheels.
the way to change it? access the chin, turn OFF the second chakra (put it on idle, by intent). then START with the chin!
Do Chin
skip nosetip
Re Eyebrow
skip forehead
MI Crown
Fa Root (startover)
SKIP PELVIS!
Sol Navel
skip solar plexus
La Heart
skip lungs
Ti Throat
DO!
If you 'played' music with the present set... root, PELVIS, navel heart lungs eyebrow crown.... IT WOULD SOUND DISSONANT. that is why we just bumble around and mostly treat them one at a time. If you did that with notes on a piano they'd still make a sound... but if you sped it up... the sound would be 'off'.
The point is to PREVENT kundalini from activating! (while introducing the chakras that can stabilize shushumni flow when the 'students' are ready.)
I'll go all out and say
I am being taught this
mostly at night, woken
and given small lessons

Hey Daniel,
I am receiving/tuning in to information in many forms relating to these ideas too. What is kundalini to you? What is an active kundalini and what is an inactive kundalini? Many thanks, Nick |

kundalini
in the stricter yogic sense, kundalini is like the cork energy, the blocking energy to the shushumni path... which then opens to release more prana. the way I learned to activate mine... I focused on the lotus petal kaleidescope of my thirteenth chakra, right above my crown. I felt it connect with my root, and as I actually surrendered enough, the link was made, mucho energy pushed through,.. and I went a bit loopy.
This happened several times. Now, with much more experience... I understand that the thirteenth chakra is actually one octave above the root, same note, twice the wave length...so when i activated my kundalini, it uncorked my prana, and I connected with the higher octave of being many call the higher self. this enabled my root to resonate at twice the frequency it used to, allowing much more prana to flow through my body (not just because 'higher' is better, but because I then had access to more than one ocatave... that part is important...) and slowly activating each chakra to be able to resonate in the next octave. the prana itsel/; the holy spirit, a living energy that has a life mind awareness of its own. the blood of gaia, our shared world. when I enter my higher selfness in this octave, I am able to embody much more prana. It dances in my body. I'd LOVe to hear more about your relationship with it... these things hve a way of fitting together! |

hi
I've been thinking about these connections for a while and decided to google the subject, which is how I found this link. You've given me some interesting food for thought and practice. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely thread
Thanks for sharing.
One way to look at our embodied experience, is to realize all events as if emerging out of the toroidal connectivity between 1st and 13th, and the nuances of the experiences, modulations of the chakras inbetween. If we learn from our less desired parts of our experiences, there's a twowold benefit - one being able to better embody our own intent, and the other being able to attract others that resonate with our gained insights. If we learn from the joyful parts of our experiences, there's the benefit of increasingly finetuning the throughflow, whether thoughts, emotions, prana, physical activities. In a nutshell, the sorrowful parts brings depth, and the joyful parts bring clarity. |
