Transmissions of Light Codes
“Unfasten your seatbelts!”
Most people understand the
power of music, though to varying degrees.
We may not comprehend why, but we seek its companionship in our
automobiles, we plug into our i-pods and zone out, we spend thousands of
dollars on CD’s and MP3’s, concerts, and stereo equipment.
Music is in elevators, in grocery stores, plays when we’re on
hold, and plays as big a role in movies as the actors.
It’s everywhere. Music
has been a wonderful entertainment and release for the masses. And
for many of us it has also helped us turn within and deepen our
self-understanding. But what
can take our experience with music to the next level?
How can we begin to work with music consciously as a tool for
awakening to our unlimited potentials?
The answer comes from Visionary
Music, an
Asheville
company that is taking music to a whole ‘nother level.
Shapeshifter, the creative team behind Visionary Music, is now
giving live concerts called Transmissions
of Light Codes that are unlike any other concert on earth.
Here, the “audience” is lying down, the room is dimmed, special
pillows cover their eyes, and their heads are turned toward the speakers
as members of the Shapeshifting team design improvised sounds, guided
visualizations, sing, and move in what can only be described as an
alternate reality.
This isn’t so much a
performance as it is an experience. Shapeshifter
uses sound, light, and
movement shamanically, to shift and move energy and assist participants in
their healing. Historically,
shamen went into other worlds to help others heal.
Shapeshifter is creating a space for an entire group to journey
into the shamanic realm together where they can intentionally create a new
world. Those sensitive to
energy can feel the movement in the room, play with it, and consciously
help to create and change it. Those
that can’t feel it, certainly can hear it, and still benefit from it on
a much deeper level than average perceptions allow and may just come away
with a newfound awareness of energy and intuitive ability.
Up to now, our experience with
music has been limited to the roles of creator and/or observer.
We watch, and sometimes sing along, as the entertainer performs, or
we play an instrument and hear our own creation, but we limit our
relationship to what is happening. We
ignore the “secret” realm and healing powers of music.
In other words, the music remains separate from us.
But there are other experiences available outside of our misguided
perception and belief that we are separate from the music.
Shapeshifter is teaching people how to become the music.
Each TLC event is dependent
upon the energies of all those present and the interactions that occur
between the multidimensions of perceptions and experiences available
throughout our universe. Thus
the music that is created for each TLC is spontaneous, so each TLC is a
different improvisation. It is
truly limitless and mysterious. What
results is what can only be described as a living thing…a music with an
inexplicable intelligence and ability to transform the listeners into a
greater state of presence and fluidity. The
music is the bridge to reveal that we are actually capable of existing in
many dimensions at once.
Another unique aspect of the
TLC’s is that participants are encouraged to express what they are
experiencing through dance, art, and vocal toning.
They are also given an opportunity to share about their experience
verbally. These contributions
become part of the art being created.
Thus, the audience becomes the artist.
And this contribution is carried into the next Transmission of
Light, with a new group of participants who then add their
contributions, and so on and so on.
Those attending these events
will be able to get copies of what was recorded during the transmission.
As the project evolves, certain segments from each of the TLC events will
become part of the DNA Activation Level Two CD series making it possible
for everyone to experience and work with the Transmissions.
