✨ Discover the hidden spiritual meaning of musical scales — where Pythagoras, Indian rāgas, and meditation meet in the art of songwriting.
In this video, we explore the spiritual side of musical scales and how ancient traditions can deepen your songwriting and creative practice. From Pythagoras and the music of the spheres to Indian classical rāga theory, we’ll uncover how notes and intervals carry meaning beyond sound.
Learn how concepts like vādi and samvādi (soul and complement) connect to meditation, self-awareness, and the creative cycle of music. We’ll also look at how the Western tonic, triads, and resonance reflect the spiritual journey of home → away → return.
This isn’t just music theory — it’s a way of seeing songwriting as a meditation practice. Whether you’re writing melodies, exploring spirituality through music, or simply curious about the deeper meaning of scales, this video offers tools, insight, and inspiration.
