Tum-mo
1,399 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."

Through The Black Forest
"This was an incredible journey! I like how you started with the found sounds and then slowly built it up, lvel by level, until you added the more conventional instruments. This mix was exactly the perfect length. Very well done, I am totally amazed. "

Through The Black Forest
"The yet greater verse that must have issued from the pen of Signore Alegheri had he encountered the shade of Virgil in this particular species of forest. Bravura composition and praises installed utterly in the plural ensue."

Through The Black Forest
"Maharishi DC has put my ears into a box of florid vapor, sealed with an osmotic peel which allows ballet bells to oscillate between layers of cymbalic linoleum tiles. The resonance of wisdom whispers mantra from this adventurous phrase. "
