It also serves as a gathering mantra, gathering your inward energy and preparing your energy for movement. KRIM (pronunciation kreem): Chanting this mantra stimulates your lower chakras to awaken and begin purifying your body. SHRIM (pronunciation shreem): Its associations lie with the head and third eye. I t promotes bodily and spiritual health but can also be used to bring beauty and happiness to ones senses. HRIM (pronunciation hreem): This holds powers of healing and creativity.

HUM (pronunciation hoom): This evokes the breakdown of negative feelings and spre ads positivity and vitality through the body. shutterstock_154360835Read the list and choose the mantra(s) that you intuitivel y feel you need. Dont worry about using all of them you may be very energetically healthy in some respects and not so much in others. Just pick the one(s) that res onate with your needs (you can ask yourself, is this sound beneficial to me?) and use it to begin your meditation. This literally sets the tone for your meditation; then, you can incorporate the he aling energies of the cleansing mantras below. Each of the cleansing mantras co rrespond to one of the 7 chakras in your body. 7 Cleansing Mantras LAM: The cleansing mantra chanted for your Root Chakra, which keeps us grounded and linked to the earth. Chanting this mantra will cleanse impurities that can c ollect in the root chakra literally opening you up to feelings of security, pros perity and belonging and clearing any blocked energy that is being prevented fro m moving through to the other six main energy centers. Chant LAM if your energy is low, you struggle financially, you suffer from low self-esteem and you suffer f rom adrenal fatigue and other stress-related ailments. VAM: The cleansing mantra for your Sacral Chakra, which is associated with sexu ality, pleasure and creativity. Opening this chakra will open you up to others, give you the courage to express yourself and to embrace change. Chant VAM is you h ave poor self-image, find it hard to open up in relationships, feel unsatisfied sexually and suffer from low libido. RAM: This opens your Solar Plexus Chakra, the seat of your personal power. Chan ting RAM will increase your ability to stand up for yourself, control negative imp ulses, and exercise greater self-control. Your self-esteem will increase as you chant RAM and you will become more confident and self-assured and your frequent st omach anxiety and pains will subside! YAM: The cleansing mantra for your Heart Chakra. You give and receive love thro ugh the energy center that is your heart chakra. If youre not feeling loving, lov able, compassionate or experience relationship difficulties, you could use some YAM! Chant YAM to heal both the physical heart and the spiritual (emotional) heart center and open yourself up to unconditional love and compassion. HAM: The mantra to unblock your Throat Chakra. This is your physical and spirit ual voice, your means of communicating who you are and what you need and want fr om yourself and the universe. The throat chakra governs your ability to express yourself if its closed, you will find yourself frequently frustrated as you canno t voice your needs and desires (closing yourself off to opportunities and having your needs met); and a closed throat chakra makes honesty and integrity difficu lt traits to embody. The vibrations from RAM will open your throat chakra so that your communication energy can flow strongly. AUM (or OM): This opens your Third Eye Chakra. This is the center of your foreh ead and is directly in line with the center of your brain. While OM is one of th e most common mantras and can be used for a wide variety of mantra meditations, it is particularly important to the cleansing and healing of your third eye chak ra. The third eye chakra (or brow chakra) is the seat of intuition and life purp ose. Chanting OM will break loose the constraints that you have imposed upon yours elf by not allowing yourself to listen to your inner wisdom and using that wisdo m to chart the best course for a life of purpose and passion. OM or AH: The mantras for your Crown Chakra, the connection to the divine. A clo sed crown chakra brings about feelings of insignificance and pointlessness, lead ing to a disconnect from spirit and an overly strong attachment to possessions, relationships and the physical world. Some find that silence is a more effective practice for opening the crown chakra but OM may be used to open it as well. Ch anting AH represents a release. Think about taking a deep breath, then letting i t go. AH is the sound of releasing and letting go. Chakra mantras help you to clear your energy pathways so you can thrive, not jus t survive; this allows you to make the most of your physical life experience, cr eating positive physical, emotional, mental and spiritual change.
