Bija Mantras

The Bija Mantras are one syllable sounds that are meant to activate the chakras along the center line of the body, or the 7 main chakras.

When you chant specific chakra mantras, their vibrations resonate with that particular chakra and leverage the energy for personal and spiritual growth.

Process:

Breathe deeply into your body so that you can let go of your day. This meditation is best done with the eyes closed. Complete approximately 3-5 full and complete breaths before beginning. 

Bring your attention to each chakra location as chant the associated bija mantra to its associated location/chakra 3x’s as listed below:

LAM (LUM)   Red   Root Chakra

VAM (VUM)   Orange  Sacral Chakra

RAM (RUM)   Yellow.  Solar Plexus Chakra

YAM (YUM)   Green   Heart Chakra

HAM (HUM)   Blue   Throat Chakra

OM (OM)   Indigo   Third Eye  Chakra

Silence  (OM)   Purple   Crown Chakra

At the crown, feel your energy rise up and out of the crown reaching upwards beyond, beyond. Stay here in silence for as long as you feel comfortable. Then slowly bring your attention back down to each location crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacrum and root. 

Ground your energy down through your hips and/or your feet. Slowly open your eyes when you’re ready to come back into the room.
