Is there any website where you go and just by listening to the music there you gain Enlightenment or shift...?

Question

Awareness ie alter consciousness?

Answer 1

In a sense, music always alters your consciousness. Upbeat music can make us feel happy. Somber music can make us feel reflective. You can choose the mood you want by the music you select. Very often, composers organize whole pieces ( works) to create an overall musical sojourn that takes us through a gamut of emotional states. This is most often true in classical symphonic works.

The great masters are best at this. I particularly like Beethoven for his sense of drama throughout an entire piece.

J.S. Bach is the highest master in all regards. However, he was so prolific that you can easily select certain types of musical "moods" from his enormous body of works. I like his up-tempo inventions for bright energetic background music.

Can music, ( especially from a certain website) help you gain "enlightenment?" ...hmmm

Probably not.

There is some evidence to support the idea that music can help humans learn faster. Slow relaxing music ( without lyrics) allows listeners to relax. Obviously, people can learn more easily when they are relaxed. ( as opposed to tense)

If you are interested in that subject, I suggest you buy and read the book, "Super Learning." That book is full of real information and original information that I have found to be true. It is important that you do not confuse Super Learning with anything called "the Mozart effect" which I have found to be full of BS. (The Mozart effect is a commercial catch-phrase for a largely imaginary gimmick that purports to increase intelligence by listening to Mozart. The idea is nice, but the science is bogus.)

There is a large body of testimonial evidence that musicians enter a hynogogic state when practicing. Scientists have proven that musicians have lower heart rates and brainwave patterns similar to meditation when practicing. The meditative qualities of practicing scales, scale patterns, arpeggios etc. has a mesmerizing effect. As a musician, I can attest to this experience. Whether that experience constitutes any degree of "enlightenment" is dubious.

As a musician with decades of experience practicing, playing and teaching, and as a person with healthy curiosity and a somewhat scientific bent, I have investigated a number of "enlightenment" theories, some involving music.

I do not believe that any single thing can bring enlightenment. Certainly, no profound enlightenment happens suddenly or without effort. We may have episodic periods of higher consciousness. undoubtedly, certain types of music may help with those episodes. But for the power of music to have its most beneficial effects, we must actively participate by listening. So, even music cannot, by itself, bring enlightenment or expanded consciousness without effort.

I suggest that any person, book or (especially) website that suggests you can achieve higher consciousness through merely hearing music, is selling bunk. You would do better to listen to music you enjoy, that you select, because it suits your mood.
