The human body is comprised of three intricate layers, including the physical, astral, and spiritual bodies, commonly known as the soul. Within the astral body lies a sophisticated network of energy centers known as The 7 Chakras.

While it is okay to focus on individual chakras, it is crucial to approach the seven main chakras as an interconnected system. The chakra system is like a river divided into seven distinct sections. The Life Force or Prana circulates through the entire system, reflecting the interconnectedness of the universe. Should one chakra become obstructed, it disrupts the flow of the Life Force or Prana, impacting the health and energy of the remaining chakras. Blockages in each chakra may arise from repressed emotions, fears, and reluctance to release what must be relinquished for our personal growth.

The Root Chakra is considered the birth of human consciousness, the dawning of self-awareness, and the possibility of conscious spiritual evolution and transformation.
The Root Chakra energy center is responsible for:
- Security, safety
- Survival
- Basic needs (food, sleep, shelter, self-preservation, etc.)
- Physicality, physical identity and aspects of self
- Grounding
- Support and foundation for living our lives
Where is the Root Chakra Located?
L O C A T I O N
The Root - Base Chakra is located at the base of the spine or groin area, it is the link between the physical world and our internal energetic system.
S Y M B O L
The Root - Base Chakra symbol is a four red petal lotus flower, with a square and a down-facing triangle. Each element represents the 4 aspects of the human mind, uniting to form the birth of the human consciousness.
T H E P E T A L S
The four red lotus petals symbolize a specific mental state: mind, intellect, consciousness and ego. Together, these four aspects are called the Antahkarana or the “inner instrument.”
- Manas (1st petal, mind)- seat of instincts and desire
- Buddhi (2nd petal, intellect)- intuition and higher mind
- Chitta (3rd petal, consciousness)- memory and life experiences
- Ahamkara (4th petal, ego)- the body and senses
The four petals also are believed to represent the
- Dharma (psychological longing)
- Artha (soul longing)
- Kama (physical longing)
- Moksha (longing for spiritual liberation)
T H E S Q U A R E
The square or cube is the most physical and inert of all geometrical forms representing Earth in the Platonic solids. The number four represents the four elements, the four cardinal directions, the four seasons and other such elements that govern the physical dimension.
The “Tattva”; meaning the elements of reality that constitute our Human experience of Earth, is symbolized by a square. The Square's four sides or 'vrittis' (greatest joy, natural pleasure, delight in controlling passion, and blissfulness in concentration), represent the roots that can either bind you to the earth in a negative sense or give you a strong base and presence in the world in the positive sense. A balanced and strong root chakra affords the ability to stand your ground and feel safe in the world.
T H E T R I A N G L E
The inverted triangle; or downward pointing, symbolizes the seeding of consciousness into the root chakra, from which it flowers and grows. The soul is pulled and funneled down, into incarnated, physical form.
The upward facing triangle symbolizes the expansion and unfolding of consciousness from the seed to the fully blossoming peak of human potential.
T H E C I R C L E
The Circle represents the spinning wheels, vortex or circles that the Life Force energy or "Prana" flows through. The circle symbolizes the central quest of spirituality: to realize oneness with all of creation. Shown in the Root Chakra symbol, the circle is the focal point that holds the four lotus petals together and encompasses the other inner symbols.
What is the Root Chakra?
The Root Chakra; sometimes called the Base Chakra, is the most vital energy center in the human body. It is the foundation on which the physical chakra system is based and which we build our life - representing survival instincts, food, shelter, safety, comfort, and belonging.
The Root -Base Chakra helps us to ground in our environment. This is also the place where ancestral memories reside. One of the challenges in activating the Root Chakra is clearing traumatic memories or records stored in this Chakra. This can be done through spoken affirmations or decrees, the use of mantras, various forms of prayer, meditation, and service to others.
Balancing the Root or Base Chakra is essential as it forms the foundation for activating the higher chakras. Healing the Root Chakra is a prerequisite for achieving equilibrium in the body's chakra system. When the Root Chakra is balanced, it facilitates the harmonization of the remaining chakras, which may otherwise be challenging to address if there are imbalances present.
E L E M E N T : Earth
The Root Chakra is associated with your capacity to establish deep roots and feel securely anchored in your life. It lays the groundwork for existence, aiding in our sense of stability and resilience against challenges. Moreover, it oversees our fundamental necessities such as food, water, shelter, and security, alongside emotional needs like belonging and courage.
S O U N D : L A M - “I Am”
There is an energetic body of energy surrounding each of us that is composed of vibrations. This is known as the Auric Field and it exists in seven different layers sometimes referred to as harmonics because of the colour fields they emit.
The Auric Field correlates to our seven major centers of consciousness (chakras) within the physical human body and these chakras are closely associated with the seven seed (Bija) mantras. (Bija) seed mantras consist of seven syllables and each syllable connects to a specific chakra. These single syllable sounds can be chanted to strengthen the energy of the each chakra.
A mantra involves the repetitive use of a specific sound or short phrase called 'Chanting" and has been utilized in meditation and spiritual practices for thousands of years to concentrate and alter subtle energies within and around us. The continuous repetition of words, sounds, and vibrations in a mantra chant calms the body and mind, quiets the senses, and elevates awareness.
The seed syllable for the Root Chakra is LAM.
It represents the earth element within you. Chanting this mantra (pronounced LUHM, as in plum) will cleanse impurities that can collect in the root chakra and clear any blocked energy that is prevented from moving through to the other six main energy centers.
The chanting of the seed mantras has a tremendous effect on all the chakras.
C H A N T I N G
A mantra consists of syllables, words, or phrases known as "Chanting," which are repeated continuously. These syllables embody the essence of each chakra and aid in purifying and fortifying the corresponding energy. The Root Chakra is the source of energy that fuels our vitality for life and the attainment of physical objectives.
"One can gain a better understanding by picturing a large metal bell and a rod. Striking the bell with the "rod" creates a vibration and produces a sound.
Similarly, chanting and repeating a Mantra is like striking the Chakra with the Mantra. This creates a unique vibration that has a direct impact on your overall physical and mental health. As you chant in a relaxed state, you can feel this vibration ripple throughout your body, as it resonates to your very core."
- Have low levels of energy
- Struggle financially
- Suffer from low self-esteem
- Experience adrenal fatigue and other stress-related ailments
How to Chant the "LAM' Mantra?
The frequency of the "LAM" mantra aligns with the Root Chakra, which shares similar frequencies with thunder and earthquakes. Chanting "LAM" harmonizes with the Root Chakra's frequency, balancing it and dispelling fear and guilt, fostering a sense of safety and security.
If you don't have a lot of time, anytime spent chanting is ok and will benefit your chakras, even if it is in the car on your way home from work or in the shower! Mantras can be spoken, chanted, whispered, or repeated in the mind. You can Chant them anywhere, anytime!
1. Get Comfortable: Locate a tranquil area free from interruptions where you can concentrate. Position yourself comfortably, either seated in a chair with your feet firmly on the ground, cross-legged on a meditation cushion, or lying flat on your back. Focus on your breath, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly to release stress and negative thoughts. Relax your muscles. When you feel at ease and relaxed, proceed to step two.
2. Hold a Crystal or Gemstone: Hold a Red, Brown or Black Crystal placing it on the desired Chakra center, or hold it in your left hand.
3. Visualize: Visualize a radiant vortex of Red light, like a spinning wheel, at your Root Chakra, located at the base of the spine or groin area. With each breath you take, envision this energy intensifying and expanding.
4. Focus: Quiet your mind, eliminate all thoughts, and focus solely on the spinning energy at your Root Chakra Center.
5. Feel: As you vocalize the "L" sound, envision a cascade of Red light flooding into your Root Chakra. Then, intone the full "LAM" mantra slowly; pronounced "LUHM" as in plum, articulating each syllable distinctly, and sense the vibration spreading from that point through all your chakra centers; then returning to your Root Chakra. Then allow this spinng red light energy to travel deep down into the earth through invisible roots, and then back up to your root chakra center. Continue this practice until you feel it is okay to stop.

The Root Chakra contains the kundalini “serpent” and its powerful energy. While difficult to activate, when awakened, this energy manifests as a warm and electrifying spiral, uncoiling upwards, through and around the spine and stimulating each chakra along its path. It then emerges from the crown chakra at the top of the head. Although unattainable for most and definitely not for novices; this experience if ever achieved, brings about a profound awakening and a heightened understanding of the world we live in and beyond. For those of us that do get to experience this, it is a life-changing step on the path to spiritual growth and self-discovery.

Where is the Solar Plexus Chakra Located?
L O C A T I O N
The Solar Plexus Chakra is located four finger-breadths above the navel, just below the rib cage. Sometimes referred to as the naval chakra, it is the center of our intuition (that gut feeling we get about people, places and events).
S Y M B O L
The Solar Plexus Chakra is symbolized by ten petals with a circle containing a downward-pointing triangle. Within the center of the triangle, the seed mantra "RAM" is inscribed in Sanskrit.
T H E P E T A L S
Traditionally, the 10 petals in the Solar Plexus Chakra Symbols carry a double meaning.
They represent the 10 forms of subtle energy that the human body uses according to Ayurveda, which are known as the 10 Prana Vayus (currents and energy vibrations) that are regulated by the Solar Plexus Chakra:- Self-Esteem, Pleasure, Willpower, Personal Responsibility, Power, Intellect, Clarity, Beliefs, Independence
- Sadness, Foolishness, Delusion, Disgust, Fear, Shame, Treachery, Jealousy, Ambition, and Spiritual Ignorance.
Each of these energy-forms has their own place in the human body, their own movement, element, direction, and function.
The Solar Plexus Chakra is like an "exchange" energy Center between these Prana Vayus and is one of the main powerhouses of the human body. As such, it governs our energy, vitality, and immunity. When it is open, it acts like a magnet that attracts energy from the cosmos and makes it usable for the human body, just like it is linked to the digestion of food in the physical realm.
T H E T R I A N G L E
The downward facing triangle in the middle; sometimes depicted as Red, represents the Agni Tattva or Fire of Kundalini energy, which signifies our inner personal strength, ego, zest for life, intuition, and the ability to express intentions and honesty. The triangle is the primary form that can enclose space within straight lines. Symbolically, this is the first form to emerge from chaos.
The Triangle is a magnet for Life Force energy, attracting thos powerful energy from the cosmos into our Solar Plexus Chakra and radiating energy back out.
T H E C I R C L E
Have you ever felt as though you could conquer the world? Like there’s a fiery ball of passion and power surging through you? That's the Solar Plexus Chakra in action!
The Circle represents the spinning wheels or vortex that our Life Force energy or 'Prana Vayus' flows through. It symbolizes the cycles of life, death, nature and the universe. As the most basic of all forms, the circle encloses physical matter. The circle symbolizes infinite space (the element akasha) and expansiveness. The circle also represents the cycles of nature at all levels from the atom to astronomy. The central quest of spirituality is to experience the Oneness of these realms.

(Bija) seed mantras consist of seven syllables and each syllable connects to a specific chakra. These single syllable sounds can be chanted to strengthen the energy of the each chakra.
A mantra involves the repetitive use of a specific sound or short phrase called 'Chanting" and has been utilized in meditation and spiritual practices for thousands of years to concentrate and alter subtle energies within and around us.

Where is the Heart Chakra Located?
L O C A T I O N
The Heart Chakra is located in the center of our chest, close to our physical heart and is considered the most crucial Chakra energy center.
S Y M B O L
The Heart Chakra symbol has 12 lotus petals, features two triangles that intersect to form a yantra, a six-pointed star or hexagram encased in a circle. Its color is green, reminiscent of the combination of fire from below and sky from above. The Sanscrit symbol for the seed syllable YAM is often inscribed in the center.
T H E P E T A L S
The twelve petals of the lotus symbolize the twelve sounds emitted during its rotation, as well as the twelve divine attributes linked to the virtues of a pure heart, namely love, compassion, kindness, empathy, understanding, bliss, peace, harmony, clarity, purity, unity, and forgiveness. Additionally, they represent the twelve obstructive traits (vrittis) of this Chakra, which are lust, fraud, indecision, regret, hope, anxiety, desire, neutrality, arrogance, ineptitude, discernment, and resistance.
The twelve petals also correspond to the twelve months of the year and the twelve astrological signs. The lotus petals are connected to the energy of creation and symbolizes the unfolding of spirituality or divinity.
T W O T R I A N G L E S ( Hexagram )
The Heart Chakra is the only Chakra that features an upward-pointing triangle and is often described as the “seat of the soul”. The Heart Chakra is the source of Love energy, which gives this Chakra a very special role among the seven Chakras. There is no greater power than Love.
A hexagram consists of two overlapping triangles, one pointing upwards and the other downwards. This symbolizes that the Heart Chakra is at the center of the Chakra system, with three more physical Chakras below and three more spiritual Chakras above. It represents the intersection where human consciousness ascends towards spirituality and soul consciousness descends into the material world. The Heart Chakra aims to harmonize these two currents, merging spirit with matter.
Additionally, the hexagram, composed of two interlocking triangles, symbolizes the equilibrium of yin and yang, or the ascending and descending forces of Air and Fire. This can also represent the harmonious union of masculine and feminine energies, merging steadfast, penetrating awareness with complete surrender and devotion into a singular state of existence.
The Hexagram or intersecting two triangles symbol is also known as the Star of David and the six pointed star.

L O C A T I O N
The Throat Chakra is located at the base of the throat, at the center of the larynx.
S Y M B O L
The symbol of the Throat Chakra features a lotus with sixteen petals encircling an inverted triangle that contains a circle. Inside the circle, the seed mantra 'HAM' is written in Sanskrit.
The Throat Chakra is the source of a subtle energy known as Udana Prana. This particular Prana's role is to cleanse the body of toxins through breath and to clear the psyche and subconscious of suppressed emotions; by fully experiencing and expressing them, rather than "swallowing them down."
The Throat Chakra encourages us to express our inner world authentically, first to ourselves and then to the external world. By doing so, we refine our expression until we can live as our true selves, with an unobstructed flow of communication between our inner and outer worlds.
T H E P E T A L S
The sixteen lotus petals symbolizes the sixteen vowel sounds of the Sanskrit language which are created by the movement of the chakra. The Lotus flower symbolizes purity and spiritual awakening.
The sixteen petals also represent the major components of being and experiencing. These are the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether); the ten ways of sensing, experiencing and perceiving (ears, skin, eyes, tongue, nose, mouth, feet, hands, arms, genitals) and the mind.
T H E T R I A N G L E
The downward facing triangle or inverted downward-pointing triangle symbolizes a connection to the soul and consciousness, and a direct expression of the higher self.
It also represents the spirit connecting with matter, grounding on the earth and our earthly existence, in our bodies. The upward side reflects the flourishing awareness that leads to the enlightenment. The upward side can represent awareness that leads to enlightenment. The inverted triangle can also show how the energy of the lower three chakras spreads up to the higher chakras.
The downward-pointing triangle is really better described as an upward-opening triangle for this Chakra. The Throat Chakra makes us a pure channel for the consciousness of the soul, a direct expression of our highest truth and self. In its center, we find a full circle which is believed to represent the full moon that is often understood to be a symbol of a purified mind.
T H E C I R C L E
The Circle represents the spinning wheels, vortex or circles that life energy flows through. It also represents physical manifestation as a whole, which comes into being through sound, speech and vocalization. It symbolizes the cycles of life, death, nature and the universe. As the most basic of all forms, the circle encloses physical matter. The circle symbolizes infinite space (the element akasha) and expansiveness. The circle also represents the cycles of nature at all levels from the atom to astronomy. The central quest of spirituality is to experience the Oneness of these realms.
What is the Throat Chakra?
The Throat Chakra symbolizes the energy of seeking and speaking the truth. It represents communication, our ability to speak, listen, and express ourself. It’s calming, tranquil and soothing energies are about helping to overcome insecurities.
E L E M E N T : Ether or Space
Moving from the stability of earth, through the flow of water, the passion of fire and the lightness of air we reach Ether. Ether is the element that makes everything else possible, Ether or "space" is both nothing and everything at the same time. It is stillness, yet it is the very thing that makes all movement and life possible.
Sound propagates in waves through the Ether, facilitating our interaction with one another via our voices. The Throat Chakra is intimately linked to sound. Sound emanates from the throat, spreading into the air, and its vibrations can be experienced not only in our ears but throughout our entire body. It serves as a vital tool for communication and expression.
S O U N D : H A M - “I Speak”
There is an energetic body of energy surrounding each of us that is composed of vibrations. This is known as the Auric Field and it exists in seven different layers sometimes referred to as harmonics because of the colour fields they emit.
The Auric Field correlates to our seven major centers of consciousness (chakras) within the physical human body and these chakras are closely associated with the seven seed (Bija) mantras. (Bija) seed mantras consist of seven syllables and each syllable connects to a specific chakra. These single syllable sounds can be chanted to strengthen the energy of the each chakra.
A mantra involves the repetitive use of a specific sound or short phrase called 'Chanting" and has been utilized in meditation and spiritual practices for thousands of years to concentrate and alter subtle energies within and around us. The continuous repetition of words, sounds, and vibrations in a mantra chant calms the body and mind, quiets the senses, and elevates awareness.
The seed syllable for the Throat Chakra is "HAM"
"HAM" is pronounced “HAUHM”.
This sound is said to be a magnetic seed that attracts your ability to express yourself truthfully. The vibrations of “HAM” will open your Throat Chakra to strengthen your ability to communicate your truth.
The chanting of the seed mantras has a tremendous effect on all the chakras.

Where is the Third Eye Chakra Located?
L O C A T I O N
The Third Chakra is located in the astral body corresponding to the spinal cord, at the center of the brain. Its exact location is four inches behind the center of the eyebrows, known as the pineal gland.
S Y M B O L
The Third-Eye Chakra symbol is a lotus flower with two petals on opposite sides of a circle. Inside the circle is an inverted triangle. The holy symbol of OM, the source-sound of all creation is inscribed in the center. The Third Eye Chakra is associated with the dimension of light and is the center of clarity and wisdom.
The Third Eye Chakra is associated with the dimension of light. It is the center of clarity and wisdom.
The Sanskrit name for this Chakra is Ajna, which means “Command”. This refers to the fact that it is the Third Eye Center in which we gain the higher understanding and wisdom that should guide us in each of our actions. An open Third Eye Chakra opens us to both conceptual, intellectual understanding and discrimination, as well as to abstract, spiritual understanding through direct being and experience.
The Third Eye Chakra Symbol is a two petaled purple lotus – once again, with a downward pointing triangle inside of it. Inside the triangle, we see the holy symbol of OM, the source-sound of all creation.
T H E P E T A L S
The two petals also represent the two sides of the brain and the two parts of the pituitary gland, to which this Chakra is connected.
The Third Eye Chakra Symbol features a lotus with only two petals. They are believed to represent the last remaining duality: that of Self and God. In the third eye Chakra, we realize our true self as soul but have still not merged into total unity with God itself.
Some feel that the two petals also symbolize the two sides of the brain and the two parts of the pituitary gland, to which this Chakra is connected.
T H E T R I A N G L E
The Chakras are energy exchange points between our subtle energy bodies and the physical body. It is the energy of the soul that animates the physical body through the Chakras and in this sense, soul-energy flows downwards from the subtle realms through the Chakras. This is what the downward-pointing triangle stands for: The soul flows inwards through the Chakras, while consciousness is expanding and expressing outwards from the Chakras.

The Circle represents the spinning wheels, vortex or circles that life energy flows through. It symbolizes the cycles of life, death, nature and the universe. As the most basic of all forms, the circle encloses physical matter. The circle symbolizes infinite space (the element akasha) and expansiveness. The circle also represents the cycles of nature at all levels from the atom to astronomy. The central quest of spirituality is to experience the Oneness of these realms.
What is the Third-Eye Chakra?
The Third Eye, or Brow Chakra, deals with imbalances and blockages. It oversees our perception and awareness of the environment, serving as the soul's seat. Our consciousness resides here; this is where "we" are, and how we connect with ourselves. This chakra promotes inner vision, aiding in self-discovery, enhancing intuition and psychic abilities, and enabling communication with the spiritual world. The Third Eye Chakra acts as a portal to elevated consciousness.
When the mind is adeptly trained to transition from thinking to listening, the third eye is significantly activated. This requires learning to cease the mind's verbal interpretation and reaction mechanisms, shifting instead to a state of pure, thought-free observation.
This represents the pinnacle of perceiving things as they truly are. It involves learning to observe and understand with one's whole mind, resisting the instinct to instantly interpret and label. Such profound attentiveness activates a distinct aspect of the mind, transforming it over time into a receptive vessel instead of a constant generator of thoughts.
E L E M E N T : Light
The third eye's element is light, which grants us the ability to see and perceive the shape and form of things from afar. This chakra transcends physical sight, indicating the existence of things that only inner vision can discern.
S O U N D S : AUM (or OM) - (“I See”)

The continuous repetition of words, sounds, and vibrations in a mantra chant calms the body and mind, quiets the senses, and elevates awareness.
The seed syllable for the Third-Eye Chakra is “AUM” or “OM”
AUM or OM is pronounced ah-oo-mm with a long “o” sound.
This sound is said to be a magnetic seed that attracts increased intuition, heightened sensitivity to energy, enhanced perception, vivid dreams, and an increased sense of synchronicity in your life.
“OM” represents the beginning, middle, and end of all things. It is made up of three syllables, A-U-M, and is said to contain all the sounds of creation. Om is considered a universal sound, the seed of all words, and the primordial sound from which all other sounds and creation emerge.
While “OM” is one of the most common mantras and can be used for a wide variety of mantra meditations, it is essential to your Third Eye Chakra, the seat of your intuition and life purpose. Chanting it will allow you to listen to your inner wisdom and use that wisdom to chart the best course for a life of purpose and passion.
The chanting of the seed mantras has a tremendous effect on all the chakras.

It activates a unique aspect of the mind, gradually transforming it into a receptive vessel rather than a perpetual thought generator.

The third eye chakra witnesses our "internal screen," displaying memories, fantasies, images, archetypes, as well as intuition and imagination. It is from these that we derive meaning and bring consciousness into our daily lives. This chakra represents our gut feelings, our inner guide, and our intuition. Once activated, it can assist in cultivating a clearer sense of purpose and direction in life.

Where is the Crown Chakra Located?
L O C A T I O N
The Crown Chakra is located at the “crown” or top of the head. It allows for the inward flow of wisdom and brings the gift of cosmic consciousness.
S Y M B O L
The Crown Chakra symbol is depicted as a circular ring of a thousand lotus petals surrounding an inverted triangle. This symbolizes the rising of divine energy into our Crown Chakra, bringing us spiritual liberation and enlightenment.Within the center, the seed mantra "AH" or "OM" is sometimes inscribed in Sanskrit.
T H E P E T A L S
The thousand-petaled lotus signifies Spiritual Illumination and the full blossoming of consciousness
As our consciousness evolves along the path of enlightenment, each petal unfurls in gradual stages. These petals symbolize various aspects of our being, including our thoughts, emotions, and actions. When our "lotus flower" is fully bloomed, it enables us to tap into divine consciousness and achieve a harmonious equillibrium between our body, mind, and spirit.
T H E T R I A N G L E
The downward facing triangle represents the spirit connecting with matter, grounding on the earth and our earthly existence, in our bodies. The upward side reflects the flourishing awareness that leads to enlightenment. It represents the infinite nature of this energy center, purity, spiritual unfoldment, and a transcendent state of consciousness.
T H E C I R C L E
The Circle represents the spinning wheels, vortex or circles that life energy flows through. It symbolizes the cycles of life, death, nature and the universe. As the most basic of all forms, the circle encloses physical matter. The circle symbolizes infinite space (the element akasha) and expansiveness. The circle also represents the cycles of nature at all levels from the atom to astronomy. The central quest of spirituality is to experience the Oneness of these realms.
What is the Crown Chakra?
The Crown Chakra acts as a conduit and portal for the perpetual influx of cosmic energy and sustenance via the central point at the top of the head. This is the central subtle nerve channel known as "Sushumna" - main energy channel of the subtle body or Crown Chakra. This chakra is the receptacle for all wisdom and positive energies, channeling them into our essence. It serves as our access point to the vast universe that extends beyond our physical form. It symbolizes enlightenment and the broadening of cosmic awareness, embodying Higher Consciousness, Presence, Bliss, Divine Connection, and Realization.
The Crown Chakra is linked to transcending our personal limitations and those imposed by space and time. It is the realm where paradoxes are standard, and apparent opposites merge into one. The awareness that the crown chakra brings is of a universal, transcendent nature.
Immersed in the energy of the Crown Chakra, we experience a blissful union with the universe and a state of spiritual ecstasy. This chakra opens the door to the highest clarity and enlightened wisdom.

Aether: the medium through which LIGHT travels
Thought, Consciousness, Source, The Divine and Inner Light “None yet All”
The Crown Chakra is associated with multiple elements, with the primary one being our 'Inner Light.' This is what we experience when we are in tune with the deepest aspect of our being, a point of consciousness that radiates intelligence. In metaphysical terms, it is seen as the most refined element, forming the foundation of the entire physical universe, and is also known as 'White Light.'
S O U N D: " A H " - “ I Understand “
There is an energetic body of energy surrounding each of us that is composed of vibrations. This is known as the Auric Field and it exists in seven different layers sometimes referred to as harmonics because of the colour fields they emit.
The Auric Field correlates to our seven major centers of consciousness (chakras) within the physical human body and these chakras are closely associated with the seven seed (Bija) mantras. (Bija) seed mantras consist of seven syllables and each syllable connects to a specific chakra. These single syllable sounds can be chanted to strengthen the energy of the each chakra.
A mantra involves the repetitive use of a specific sound or short phrase called 'Chanting" and has been utilized in meditation and spiritual practices for thousands of years to concentrate and alter subtle energies within and around us. The continuous repetition of words, sounds, and vibrations in a mantra chant calms the body and mind, quiets the senses, and elevates awareness.
The seed syllable for the Crown Chakra is
“AH" - pronounced “Ahhhhh”
Chanting "AH" can ground you in your body and the present moment, quieting much of your internal chatter and anxiety. It can also help you connect with healing and empowering energies that restore natural balance and harmony in your life. This sound is often described as a magnetic seed, drawing a stronger sense of connection to the universe and all living beings. Such interconnectedness is fundamental to spiritual well-being, fostering compassion, empathy, and a feeling of belonging in the world.
The chanting of the seed mantras has a tremendous effect on all the chakras.
C H A N T I N G
A mantra consists of syllables, words, or phrases known as "Chanting," which are repeated continuously. These syllables embody the essence of each chakra and aid in purifying and fortifying the corresponding energy.
The Crown Chakra serves as the energy center for cosmic energy, symbolizing its function as a portal to the universe and higher levels of being.
"One can gain a better understanding by picturing a large metal bell and a rod. Striking the bell with the rod creates a vibration and produces a sound.
Similarly, chanting and repeating a Mantra is like striking the Chakra with the Mantra. This creates a unique vibration that has a direct impact on your overall physical and mental health. As you chant in a relaxed state, you can feel this vibration ripple throughout your body, as it resonates to your very core."
Chant “AH” if you…
- Feel insignificant and disconnected from spirit (Universe/Source/God)
- Have a strong attachment to possessions and relationships
- A lack of connection to the world
How to Chant the " AH' Mantra?
The frequency of this mantra aligns with the Crown Chakra. Chanting "AH" fosters harmony, purifies, and activates this energy center, leading to states of self-transcendence where our individual sense of self merges into a larger unity.
If you don't have a lot of time, anytime spent chanting is ok and will benefit your chakras, even if it is in the car on your way home from work or in the shower! Mantras can be spoken, chanted, whispered, or repeated in the mind. You can Chant them anywhere, anytime!

Then, intone, speak the full "AH" mantra slowly; pronounced “Ahhhhh”, articulating each syllable distinctly. Feel the light travel through all your chakra centers along with the vibration of your sound. Let it flow out of your feet and move up around your outer body, returning to your Crown Chakra, continue this practice repeatedly at least three times. Note: Achieving fully opened "Lotus" Crown Chakra, may allow you to experience the essence of a candle flame or the ascent of Kundalini energy.
Meditation beads, commonly comprising 108 beads and known as "Mala" beads, serve as a tool for counting mantras or prayers. Also referred to as prayer beads or Buddhist rosaries, these strings of beads assist practitioners in tracking the repetitions of their mantras or prayers, with each bead signifying one recitation.

When our Crown Chakra is unlocked:
When the Crown Chakra is unlocked, it opens us to elevated states of consciousness and grants access to deeper awareness. The resolution of the other six Chakras is essential for the ultimate transcendence beyond the concepts of psychological existence and personal journey. In the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, the Crown Chakra acts as a luminous sun guiding us along the path of the Chakras. It serves as a reminder that our personal journey is finite and not meant to be eternal. Eventually, we merge with the light that guided us, becoming one with that sun.
How do we know when our Crown Chakra is open?
An individual with a balanced and open Crown Chakra understands that true bliss and happiness are not found in the ego's experiences within the realm of time and space, but rather in the act of self-transcendence.
In this state, a person loses interest in the potential gratification of worldly experiences and redirects their focus, energy, and aspirations towards spiritual unity. It becomes clear that true fulfillment is not found in bolstering the ego, but rather in its reduction.
Such a person would have a natural inclination towards meditation and silence. For them, meditation would transform from a task into a soulful passion. An effortless draw to scriptures and the teachings of enlightened masters would guide them towards an enduring journey, fulfilling a thirst that only this can satisfy.
