Re: advaita or tantra?
Namaste!
It is both. Seeing a very sharp distinction between Advaita and Tantra is largely a result of western scholarship, which has made this distinction appear to be greater than it actually is in practice.
In the words of Sri Ramakrishna, "Kali is verily Brahman, and Brahman is verily Kali. It is one and the same Reality. When we think of It as inactive…then we call It Brahman. But when It engages in…activities, then we call it Kali or Shakti." (Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Nikhilananda, trans., pp. 134-135)
That being said, your wording seems somewhat more in line with Tantra, emphasizing energy and dynamism. But Tantra is also a form of Advaita.
"One who makes a habit of prayer and meditation will easily overcome all difficulties and remain calm and unruffled in the midst of the trials of life." (Holy Mother Sarada Devi)
