Beeja Mantras

They are in the Hindu Sanskrit language of Devanagari, and are super powerful syllables and charged sounds.

They are directly connected to the Chakra's and planets.

These power mantras will act upon the mind on a subconscious level and serve as a vehicle for healing. Some say they are more powerful than a prayer.

The Bija mantras we'll focus on here are the one's associated with the planets. These mantras reflect the cosmic creative powers and have the effect to convey astral energies.

• The Sun -- sum

• The Moon -- som

• Mars -- am

• Mercury -- bum

• Jupiter -- gum

• Venus -- shum

• Saturn -- sham

• Rahu -- ram

• Ketu -- kem

These mantras should be repeated several times a week, especially at sunrise or sunset.

They can be repeated out loud or silently, over and over. Let these power mantras ride on the in-breath and out-breath.

These mantras can also be called Chakra mantras as they also help to cleanse and balance the chakra system.
