The Powers of Sound, Space and Time manifest from the Self to create the Universe, while also offering us so many practices to return to the feeling of the Self. The power of Sound thus manifests as the power of Aum and other seed sounds, the powers of mantra, beat, tone, music, thought and desire. The Power of Space is infused with the care and sharing in motherly love, including also the work of calming and withdrawing the senses, pacifying desires, as well as balancing our bodies through Asana and the understanding of Ayurveda. The power of Time lets us work with the life force or Prana, through breath and also food and exercise, balancing our emotions and raising our Kundalini energy. All these energetic practices of Yoga and Tantra are used within the 5 yogic paths of Bhakti, Jnana, Karma, Ashtanga and Tantra Yoga, which respectively work on how we feel, think, act, do nothing or do everything at once.

This is Part 3 of an 8 part series on Tantric Advaita. Supported by numerous backers on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, this video is part of a communication project on Tantric Advaita. It also includes the book 'Tantric Advaita - Energizing Nonduality' - find all details here : https://www.tantricadvaita.org/book_tantric_advaita.html.
Having discovered the beauty of Self-awareness, nonduality or Advaita becomes a way of pure being. Yet, life tends to produce its various emotions, which easily remove that blissful feeling of the Self. We can actually never lose the Self, as it is ever in our presence. However, when that particular feeling or energy of the Self is lost, pure beingness itself is perceived to be lost.
Tantric Advaita is the ancient knowledge on the nondual energy of the Self. It teaches us how to maintain full awareness of the Self, while simultaneously bringing our feeling closer to the bliss of the Self, energizing our nonduality practice. As we focus our awareness on itself, we harmonize our energy.
