"Black Dragon" is the first in the Moongate series of audio CDs for Feng Shui and Tai Chi. It was recorded using digital samples of Asian instruments and the melodies are based on the ancient Confucian Pentatonic (or five note) scale representing the five Chinese elements of Fire, Water, Wood, Metal and Earth.
The ancient Chinese believed that the universe was made up of opposite pairs of elements called yin (cool, dark, water, feminine & yielding) and the yang (warm, light, fire, masculine & strong) and that when the yin and yang in the body, mind and spirit were in balance, the body would be healthy and surging with positive energy or chi, the life force of the universe. Conversely, if there was too much yin or too much yang, illness and disharmony would result and the energy or chi would stop flowing.
The Chinese physician heals illness by inserting thin needles into the places where the chi or energy has been blocked. Tai Chi and Qigong are exercises that are designed to keep the energy flowing and the yin and yang perfectly in balance through the use of movement, mental focus and meditation. Feng Shui is the art of balancing yin and yang in the home, business or personal environment through the use of baguas or eight sided mirrors, furniture placement, colors, plants and music.
The Yin & Yang energies of the universe are constantly shifting, so we need different types of Feng Shui music to balance different types of energy. “Black Dragon” music has more Yang energy than Yin and should be played to add more intensity & active energy to the personal environment.
Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation.
Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound. — Kabir
