This week we are exploring the Bija or Beej mantras. Beej Mantras also known as Vedic Seed Mantras are the core mantras or sounds endowed with great spiritual powers. They are often called the audible seed version of all the Deity majorly in Hinduism. Beejas are used to unblock chakras creating vibrations which resonate within the body.
To be well in mind, body and spirit, let us seek new ways to express our Divinity.
VAM for Svadhisthana,(Sacral Chakra)
RAM for Manipura (Sola Plexus )
YAM for Anahata (Heart),
HAM for Vishuddha (Throat), and
OM or AUM for Ajna (Third eye) and
OM Sahaswara (CROWN) chakras)
These are chanted in succession to clear the chakras and create a neurological response.
Chakras are energy centres in the body and the mantra Lam is specifically related to the muladhara chakra, which is located at the base of the spine. The mulahdara chakra relates to our basic needs and sense of belonging. It is known as the earth chakra and when clear, provides a sense of grounding and stability, reducing worry and anxiety. The mantra Lam helps clear any blockages at this energy centre through sound therapy.
Specifics sounds create different responses in the brain and the Bija mantras balance or tune the brain by altering the predominant brainwave frequency. Research shows that the Bija mantras evoke the alpha state of the brain, which is the state of calm with a brainwave frequency of approximately 10 cycles per second. It is also said that the “m” sound also resonates with the right side of our brain – the side that carries intuition, emotion and creativity.
The Sacral chakra is about feeling and sexuality. When it is open, your feelings flow freely, and are expressed without you being over-emotional. You are open to intimacy and you can be passionate and lively. You have no problems dealing with your sexuality.
Your sacral chakra is located in your lower abdomen, about one to two inches below your naval. When out of balance symptoms include—but aren’t limited to—attachment issues, sexually-related guilt, timidity, emotional volatility, hypersensitivity, and trust issues. A person can act both completely disconnected and cold towards others if this chakra is under-active or needy and emotionally dependent if the chakra is over-active. This chakra is your most important emotional center and because of this, at one time or another, most of us will experience an imbalance here.
The Seed Mantra of Sacral Chakra is 'VAM' and Music in this video features frequencies - 210.42, 288 & 417 Hz -
which helps in balancing Sacral Chakra through meditation. Chanting 'Vam' along with this video can be of immense help in stabilizing this chakra.
If this chakra is over-active, you tend to be emotional all the time. You'll feel emotionally attached to people and you can be very sexual.
On Wednesday we will explore the Solar Plexas Chakra.
Namaste and Om Shanti.
