Interview:
The essence of music is Spirit, the creative element of the Universe, and this Spirit is manifested in human beings through the seven energetic vortices called chakras. Music directly reflects the different colors of Spirit (chakra energies) as manifested in the composer, singer, performer, and listener. Sacred music, in particular, can awaken pure feelings in us that can lead to a resonance with spirituality, the feeling of freedom, joy, and oneness with all life. The after-effect of this music is the surrendering silence, the direct entry-way into our deeper reality, our Divine inheritance.
“Sacred music… can awaken pure feelings in us that can lead to a resonance with spirituality, the feeling of freedom, joy, and oneness with all life.”
