“The mantra is not an arbitrary set of syllables, and no amount of secondary meaning built onto a set of arbitrary syllables will make it a mantra. The mantra is a powerful vehicle you hop on and ride straight into enlightenment.”

– Paul Muller-Ortega

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."

– Nikola Tesla

Mantra Chanting

Chanting (repetitive singing) is a practice found in most spiritual traditions. It is the musical repetition of the names of the Divine in this tradition.

Chanting mantra in Sanskrit is called Namasankirtana. Mantra chanting, done in a group, is often accompanied by instruments. Sanskrit mantras are also used for japa practice, the murmuring repetition of the mantra and - repeated internally - for meditation.

To chant, you don't need any experience, skill or knowledge in chanting.

Mantras are nourishing nectar for your self-healing and the healing of others. And I hope you have as much fun listening and singing along as I did recording.

OM - AUM

Ft. Feenkönigin

OM or AUM is a Bija Mantra, a “seed-mantra”. Om is the primordial sound of creation. In ancient indian scriptures (Upanishads, the Bhagvad Gita etc.) the mantra is considered to be the primal sound of the universe, encompassing all other sounds within it. It is the original vibration of the universe from which all other sounds emerge.

Scientific studies suggest that the mental repetition of OM reduces physiological alertness, increased sensitivity as well as synchronicity of certain biorhythms, and an increased sensitivity to sensory perceptions.

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu

LOKAH SAMASTAH SUKHINO BHAVANTU OM SHANTI SHANTI

May all beings, everywhere, be free and happy OM peace peace

Lokah means the world, but it can refer to any world or realm or universe. Its meaning isn’t just limited to our planet earth. Loka is the origin of the word location. Samastah means the whole or the entire. In this sentence, it is a descriptor of the word loka or world. Sukhino is from the word sukha or sukhin, which means happiness or joy. Bhavantu means “may everyone.” This is the verb in the sentence and it is in its imperative form, meaning that its indication is forceful and intense, not to be taken lightly. It functions more as a command than a request.

5 Elements

LAM - VAM - RAM - YAM - HAM

The five elements are earth (Prithvi), water (Ap/Jala), fire (Agni/Tejas), air or wind (Vayu) and space (Akasha). Each element has its own seed mantra (bija mantra). These mantras are LAM for earth, VAM for water, RAM for fire, YAM for air and HAM for space.

The elements are closely linked to the chakras. Thus, in the most commonly used chakra system today, the element earth is associated with the root center (Muladhara Chakra), water with the sacral center (Svadhisthana Chakra), fire with the solar plexus center (Manipura Chakra), air with the heart center (Anahata Chakra), and space with the throat center (Vishuddha Chakra).

You can use this recording to connect the elements with your chakras like planting the element into the chakra by focusing on the chakra or visualizing it while chanting the corresponding seed mantra with me.

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha

Ganesha is the Lord of obstacles. He moves and removes obstacles and thus teaches us how to deal with them. He is also the guardian and protector of thresholds and boundaries. This mantra comes from the Ganapati Upanishad, a long scripture from the Vedas that deals with Ganesha. Om represents the divine in the form of sound. It is the universal sound, the sound of creation itself. Gam and Ganapati are other names for Ganesha. The suffix 'aye' (Ganapataye) means something is for or to Ganapati. Namaha means greeting, I bow to you. So the mantra means "I bow to Lord Ganesha" or "I salute Lord Ganesha".
