Tantrics have stated for thousands of years that everything in this universe is a form of vibration. What appears to be dense and solid matter simply has a lower frequency of vibration than what we typically refer to as ‘energy’. In more recent times, quantum physicists have discovered the same truth: The atoms that make up physical matter are composed of particles, which in their essence are nothing more than vibrating waves. At the quantum level, the reality is that our world is a sea of vibratory energy, composed of a multitude of different frequencies – exactly as yogis and tantrics have been saying since ancient times.
The existence of this quantum field is known in the Tantric tradition as the ‘Occult Law of Resonance’. It is called ‘occult’ because this law refers to the non-apparent or ‘hidden’ nature of our universe, beyond the ordinary reach of our senses. Although we cannot see, hear or touch the majority of energy that constantly surrounds us, it is nonetheless always there. For tantrics, this simple fact represents an extraordinary key to access unlimited resources of energy. It also shows a hidden pathway to the heights of ecstasy experienced by tantric lovers in their erotic intimacy. But how can we tap into the abundance of energetic frequencies that are always present in our surrounding ambience? And what is the connection to lovemaking, or even a tantra massage?
We will get to the juicy topic in just a moment, but before that, let us look at the first question about how we can access the energies that are always there. The answer is, through resonance. If you want to connect to a particular energy, you need to know that every energy in the universe has a frequency of vibration that is specific. For instance, the energy of love has one frequency, while the energy of happiness has another. This is how you are able to recognise specific states, and to say, ‘I feel happy,’ or ‘I love you.’ In any given moment, you are resonating with particular states, thoughts or feelings, each of which has a characteristic energetic frequency. The same principle allows a musician to recognise particular musical notes that a singer hits with his or her voice. Each note has a specific vibratory frequency that can equally be found on a piano, violin or trumpet.
In fact, if an opera singer sings a particular note loudly enough in a room with a harp or a piano with exposed strings, a unique string of the harp or piano will start to vibrate and emit exactly the same note. In other words, the opera singer triggers a process of resonance between the singer and the musical instrument in the room, which corresponds to a specific frequency of vibration. A similar process happens when you connect to a particular emotion. When you are in love, for instance, you are resonating with energy of a specific vibratory frequency, which is characteristic to the energy of love. A connection is automatically created with the universal source of love that always exists in the universe, and the resulting resonance process causes the amount of love that you feel to amplify.
We can explain this by continuing with the musical metaphor: the energy of love in the universe is much greater or ’louder’ than the love we are capable of feeling. The ‘louder note’ of universal love therefore causes our musical ‘love string’ to vibrate much more powerfully than before, through resonance. Have you ever noticed that when you have been newly in love and spent some delicious moments with your beloved, the love that you felt at the end of your romantic encounter was even greater than before? Being with your beloved, and loving him or her very much, helped you to steadily maintain your connection to the energy of love for a period of time, thus allowing the resonance process to take place.
This phenomenon also explains why the ecstatic states experienced by a tantric couple making love can amplify exponentially. Elevated pleasure, pure eros, elevated passion and even ecstasy are all energies with specific frequencies that can be experienced more and more profoundly through resonance. Even after receiving a tantra massage, many people report an increase in their state of happiness, inner peace or eroticism. Some say they feel a much greater openness to love, or that they experienced higher levels of refined pleasure than they are used to. Whether you are aware of it or not while lying on the massage bed, you are resonating with a variety of sublime energies, which then fill your being.
But is it possible to control this process and consciously resonate with the energies you choose at will? The answer is most definitely, ‘Yes!’ In order for this phenomenon to take place, your being first needs to be attuned to the energy you wish to amplify. Metaphorically speaking, you need to expose the correct string of your inner piano in order for the resonance process to happen. Most people are constantly doing this in an unconscious manner, chaotically exposing different piano strings as they move between thoughts and feelings. If a particular state is maintained for long enough, it will amplify due to the process of resonance. This can happen with beneficial states, as well as with harmful or destructive ones. Tantra provides a solution to this chaotic noise: you have to realise that you have a CHOICE, and you can consciously choose to resonate only with the most beneficial energies of the universe.
Once you learn to control your inner resonance, you can access any energy that is familiar to you, whether it be love, happiness, or any other energy. If you need to accomplish something difficult, you can access the energy of will. If you are tired, you can access the energy of vitality. If you are stressed or agitated, you can access the energy of peace. If you wish to make love for hours and reach the heights of ecstasy, you can access the variety of energies you need for self-control, relaxation, openness and pleasure. This level of mastery obviously requires training, which is why Tantra offers a variety of efficient methods to gain control over the processes of resonance that occur in our being. It is beyond the scope of this article to list these methods which would each require a proper explanation and the guidance of a teacher.
It is nevertheless possible, from NOW, to become aware of the inner resonance process that is taking place inside your being! It is possible, from NOW, to realise you have a choice and to direct your thoughts towards something beneficial. You can find a great support in beautiful music, harmonious surroundings, wonderful company, as well as everything that is uplifting and beneficial, which all help to fill your being with pure energies.
