Crown Chakra Sounds

Bija Mantras are seed syllable mantras for the chakras. They are effective at energizing the kundalini, balancing the subtle energy in chakras, tonifying organs and endocrine glands, and enhancing positive emotions.

In this recording, I chant the Bija mantra for the third eye and crown chakras: OM. It is good to sound out the full OM sounding full the full OH vowel (ah-oh-ooo), and then allowing the M to vibrate at the end to generate the appropriate sound wave pattern, and allow the cranium to vibrate. Please note, for the crown chakra, chanting OM silently in one's mind is desirable as silence is the language of spirit.

Different vowels resonate with different chakras. The frequency, or wave patterns, emitted when different vowels are sounded match the frequency or wave pattern of certain energy centers of the body.

This vowel sound resonates with the crown chakra.

In this meditation, we will invoke three colors of healing light, and associated divine, primordial energies through deep visualization. First, we invoke the color and energy of unconditional love, next the color and elemental energy of earth, finally the color and energy of the infinite cosmos and highest self.

The upper realm, or shamanic rhythm connects to the crown chakra. It is particularly good for accessing higher states of consciousness.

EIM, pronounced: “I’m” is the seed syllable mantra for Saraswati. Saraswati is the deity of sound, music and education. There are two key chakra vowels included as you sound out the seed syallble EIM: EYE (throat), and EEE (crown) that relate to this Seed Syllable and Saraswati.

As the deity encompassing energies of sound, music, and education, Saraswati clears the mental ‘noise’ making way for higher learning and spiritual connection. This relates to the throat chakra - and its energetic sound of EYE - as it also acts as the filter for clearning out mind ‘stuff’ to make way for higher truth. And of course the crown chakra - and its energetic sound EEE - is where we receive this higher truth to begin with. Lastly, Saraswati means ‘one who flows,’ so the gentle cleansing and flowing aspect of water is also invoked while chanting EIM. Our sacral chakra - the seat of creative potency, inner child and sense of self - is the body’s center of water. So chanting EIM is nourishing of these three areas and aspects.

Green Tara is the goddess of unconditional love, compassion and forgiveness in action. This is an excellent mantra for opening and expanding the heart, connecting in unconditional love and forgiveness for self and others.
