CHAKRA MANTRAS

Cleansing and Activating the Chakras
Chakra mantras are employed to enhance the function of the subtle energy distribution centers (chakras) for improved health and spiritual actualization. These mantras are also used as a lead-in method to meditation practice.
Procedure:

Focus your attention by localizing feeling awareness within the base chakra, toning the prescribed mantra aloud at a low pitch. Place the mantra as though it is emanating from within the chakra. Tone the mantra rhythmically several times while exhaling. As you inhale, continue to tone the mantra mentally. Repeat the process for several rounds. Endeavor to feel and focus more and more deeply. Then, move up to the next chakra and repeat the process, toning the prescribed mantra at a slightly higher pitch. Progress one by one, up through the chakras, slightly raising the pitch of the prescribed mantra at each succeeding chakra. Upon completion at the crown of your head, be still and internally poised for a comfortable duration. Flow into deep meditation if inclined.
