Occult Vibratory Chemistry existed in India by the name of Tantra.
Tantra is derived from two Sanskrit words - Thanoti ( to expand ) & Trayate
( to liberate). This Science has the power to expand and liberate !
Expansion means to grow beyond one's boundaries. Expansion upto Infinity.
Thanothi means the expansion of Consciousness ad infinitum.Individual
consciousness should expand to Universal Consciousness for mergence in
the Supreme Self.

Trayate means to liberate, to liberate man from bondgage, from the Seven
Deadly Sins which bind him to the sublunar world. The purging of mortal
dross is a must for Self-Actualisation and the " inner enemies of man "
Lust, greed, anger, jealousy, sloth, covetousness & attachment ) are the
real blocks in the way of Self Actualisation
Liberation is not possible without expansion of Consciousness. When our
individual Consciousness expands to Cosmic, we feel whole & are liberated
from the thraldom of matter.
The Upanishadic Philosophy was based on the Five Concentric Sheaths known
as the Five Koshas. The outermost concentric Sheath, the Anna Maya Kosha,
is known as the Material Sheath. It envelopes the other four sheaths -
vital, mental, intellectual & bliss.

Tantra, on the other hand, speaks about the Six Chakras, dynamoes of Cosmic
Energy in the human body.
These Chakras are ( in ascending order)
1. Root Chakra ( Muladhara )
2. Anal Chakra ( Manipura )
3. Solar Plexus Chakra ( Swadhistana )
4. Heart Chakra ( Anahata )
5. Throat Chakra ( Vishuddhi )
6. Eyebrow Chakra ( Ajna )
A diagramatic representation of the chakras can be seen at

The Five Great Elements ( Earth, air, water, fire & ether ) & Mind
reside
in the Six Chakras.
Earth-Principle resides in the Root Chakra
Water-Principle resides in the Navel Chakra
Fire-Principle resides in the Solar Plexus Chakra
Air-Principle resides in the Heart Chakra
Ether-Principle resides in the Throat Chakra
Mind-Principle resides in the Eye Brow Chakra.
The Microscomic representative of the Macrocosmic Shakti ( Cosmic Power ),
the Kundalini, sportest as the Six principles in the Six Chakras in Her
Cosmic Play.
O Infinite Power ! Thou art the Mind-principle in the Eye brow Chakra
In the Throat Chakra , Thou sport as the Ether-principle
In the Heart Chakra, Thou sportest as Air- principle
In the Solar Plexus Chakra, Thou art Fire-principle
In the Navel Chakra , Thou exist as Water-principle
In the Root Chakra, Thou art the Earth _Principle, O Mighty Mother !
And in the Crown Chakra, Thou sportest blissfully with thy beloved Consort !
She lies coiled in human beings as the Coiled Serpent Power ( Kundalini).
She rises during Mediation and Yogic processes.
Her rise can be felt by the meditator. When She rises, a subtle warmth
will be felt in the body. Voice changes. Voice becomes musical,
" propertied as the tuned spheres". The personality of the native
becomes
very attractive due to the influx of Jupiterian energy. Wisdom and learning
grace the individual. When She rises furthur, torrential bliss will be felt.
And when She reaches the Crown Chakra, it is Cosmic Consciousness
for the native !
She sports as Universal Power in the Macrocosm; and in the microcosm
as the coiled Serpent Power!
Infinite Power of the Absolute art Thou!
The Cause of the Universe as Maya
The entire Creation is Thy Play
Thy blessing is Bliss Absolute !
The essence of all sciences art Thou
All women Thy manifestations !
The visible Universe Thou art
And the dormant Serpentine Power !
One of the pioneers in Tantra Research was Sir John Woodroffe , who had
written many scholarly treatises on the subject. His magnum opus is the
"Serpent Power", which is a scientific treatise about the Kundalini.
His
practice of Tantra endowed him with personal magnetism. He became the
cynosure of all eyes. There was a special lustre on his face, he possessed
the Golden Tongue of Good Report & there was a spiritual halo around him.
He had developed his Auric Field ( the human electro-magnetic field ) due
to Tantric techniques and bacame a dynamo of spiritual energy. His masterly
book is a scientific diagnosis about Tantra.
The heart and vocal nervous centers are intimately related physiologically.
Bhava Shuddhi or purity of Heart makes the voice innocent and musical.
The true Initiate is he whose voice is true and who possesses the Golden
Tongue of Good Report!
The Cosmic Shakti is the Force behind the Universe & the entire Universe
is her play & display. Kundalini is Her microcosmic representation. She
has been depicted as the Mother Goddess in Pagan philosophies.
Nature is visible Intelligence; Intelligence is invisible Nature. The
Spiritual & the Natural are not different. That which is spiritual is
natural in its ascent & cause. That which is natural is spiritual in its
descent and being.
She is the female component of the Ultimate and all systems deal with the
male and the female components of Reality. The male component is He !
Consciousness and Force, the Supreme Self and Nature, Matter and Spirit,
Being and Becoming, the One and the Innumerable, the Formless and then
a delirium of Forms - She and He, two in one, inseparable ! He, outside
Time, outside Space, pure Being, pure Consciousness, the Great
White Silence wherein everything is contained in a state of involution,
contained, yet formless !
