I've gone really deep into music and realized the relationship of music to these ancient spiritual practices. Because ancient spiritual practices all have some similarities, such as music, rhythmic music plus breathing, and also visualization and mantras. And there's a similarity between these ancient African shamanic practices, Russian shamanic practices, as well as these Indian yogic tantric practices in this. And it's really amazing. And what I've done is I've revived them, I've made them more fun and easy to do, and I've added science to them and created sequences and daily routines you can do on a day to day basis to create amazing effects.
