Tum-mo
309 plays
13:00
Genre: Abstract
Album: unreleased

A yogi practises tummo, the yoga of inner heat. As the Seventh Dalai Lama wrote:
"Vital energies generated by inner or outer means are drawn into one's central channel, causing the mystic fires to blaze....... The letters AH and HAM flare, fall and vibrate,
transporting one to the end of the primordial path of insight and Great Bliss. Lights from the mystic fire flash into a hundred directions, summoning the blessings of Buddhas boundless as space."

Mental Anguish listened to Bootstrap Theory on 04/20/08 07:42:00 and said: "Pick me up by my bootstraps & spin me around senor Don. What a excellent slice of abstract music here. Awesome mix that interwines & evolves constantly. Great stuff Don!"

C. Goff III listened to Bootstrap Theory on 04/18/08 14:46:30 and said: "Pano Rama Pano Pano Hare Pano Hare Hare Hare Rama Pano Pano PANORAMA YEAH YEAH YEAH. Where did it all begin? Where does it go next? My train ticket is punched for CzechoNepalia, via the Trance Zephyr Chemical Spillway. Engineer Don carry me home!"

Dave Fuglewicz listened to Bootstrap Theory on 04/17/08 22:53:59 and said: "This is a wonderful trip, I really like all the different movements. Very nice mix. "

Dave Fuglewicz listened to Mantra Que Remueve on 03/14/08 21:12:02 and said: "A beautiful abstract piece, very restful and yet full of subtle energetic nuances. "

C. Goff III listened to Mantra Que Remueve on 03/14/08 20:17:08 and said: "Yes, I believe that Dr. Campau's long and arduous experiments have resulted in the laboratory version of Zen via sound. The electronics combined with the occasional exhaling human sigh make compel the listener to repeat again and again the listening experience, until an out of body condition is achieved. My compliments to Chef Don for bringing to the world another flavorful concoction!"
