Breaking Tension

Lonely

This mantra is the opening track of our last double album 'El Camino Dorado', just as it opens our own hearts to deeper listening. The song is a combination of two mantras: the Heart Sutra (Teyata Om, Gate Gate) and Om Tare Tutare (Green Tara mantra). The Heart mantra opens heart connections and so much more. There is a deep, mystical wisdom in this prayer. It was once written in Vedic Sanskrit and takes away all suffering when you recite it 108 times. This song helps us to be generous, patient, conscientious, diligent, focused and wise. With this mantra you honor your inner light that helps you cross the border from suffering to liberation, from suffering and from duality to unity.
The mantra guides us beyond the misleading perception of the Self as something separate, and helps us realize that we are perfect, connected to all life and that we are at home in the universe. The message of this mantra is that infinity is here and now. Emptiness is all all-encompassing. This is the great liberation, because the ideas of the mind we live in keep us trapped in our self self-created illusions. When we can clean ourselves of our own limiting ideas, we can live in the pure dimension of emptiness, completely free and beyond limitation. This mantra makes us feel that everything and everyone is connected.  
The key word is BODHI, a feminine noun in the vocative, which means awakening. PARAGATE means 'gone to the further shore'. The word PARA means the bank of a river opposite which one is currently standing. PARASAMGATE means gone completely to the other further shore. The prefix SAM has an intensive meaning: complete, thorough, total. SVAHA or SWAAHA is an inflexible particle from Vedic Sanskrit. It is said to be the name of the wife of Agni, the god of fire. It is used at the end of a recitation that accompanies a burnt offering made at a Vedic sacrifice (rather as "amen" is used at the end of a prayer in the Christian liturgy). It cannot be translated literally.
The second part of the mantra (Om Tare Tutare) is a prayer to the goddess Tara, who epresents mercy and compassion. She is the divine mother and universal feminine energy. She is able to guide you to enlightenment. In Buddhism, Tara is a feminine manifestation of enlightening wisdom. There are 21 different forms, all called Tara in all colors of rainbows, each with their own specific meaning. In some cultures, including Tibetan, green is considered the color that encompasses all other colors. This is the mantra of the Green Tara, the mother of the Buddhas. She helps us to overcome our fears, takes away suffering and brings happiness.
We often sang these mantras with our first Maestra Ema'a Drolma Mata. For this album we gave it our owntimbre and melody, as a gentle blessing and opening to listening to the rest of the album.

Heart mantra (Teyata Om)

„Clear the Voice“ 

is a gentle healing song for releasing what was never said.
With soft cello, flutes and koshi tones, it opens the throat space and invites truth to return.
A sound ritual for voicing the soul – without fear, without force.

Originally recorded years ago, I’d forgotten how good this cover of a Cockney Rebel classic sounds.  Vocals by Patrick, guitars, keys, bass and drums by yours truly.  Hope it makes you smile!

TEARS FOR CHANGE

How’s one to understand
The madness of the world
Our tears  are reaching far
grieving the children gone

I won’t stand by
Rock in a silence
Our tears require

A change

No more, enough
We’ve been too quiet
Tomorrow starts
Afresh today

I know the crazy entity
Is not the enemy
How many times
We’ve been deceived

Open your eyes 
The time is now /  and fight them back
The issue is selfish greed
What can we do to make them see / … feel

No guns

Gotta  let those go
Those  rights
Looking from my stand
Don’t have a fucking meaning
When lives are lost

My words
Carrying all along the sorrows
For those with lost tomorrows
Will be spoken loudly
For a change

I know the crazy entity
Is not the enemy
How many times
We’ve been deceived

Open your eyes 
The time is now /  and fight them back
The issue is selfish greed
What can we do to make them see 

No More
Enough
We've been to quiet
Tomorrow starts
afresh
Today

The Deliverance 
From something 
I have become. 
The perception 
That makes  
My heart numb. 
This is how 
We become dumb. 
The value of the form 
Overriding a soul 
Justifying a vision 
And its norms. 
I call upon my name 
This hallowed  
sacred identity 
Is all the same. 
To know what  
You don’t know. 
To see when 
It doesn’t show. 

The acceptance 
Of the invited angels 
Surrounding  
The ground 
Around me 
As they sing 
And spread  
Their wings 
Granting me 
A chalice 
Allowing me to see. 
I am not a body 
I am free.
 
I am among 
The ministries 
Who and what 
Has changed me? 
Buddha, Christ, 
Mohammed, Shiva 
Their names are 
The same as mine 
In this sacred plea. 

The acceptance 
Of the invited angels 
Surrounding  
The ground 
Around me 
As they sing 
And spread  
Their wings 
Granting me 
A chalice 
Allowing me to see. 
I am not a body 
I am free.

The miracle of grace 
The gift of 
This holy place 
Inside my place. 
Freeing me 
Of a world 
And what is displaced.
