This mantra invokes the energies of the planet Mercury. It is supportive of the hands, arms, lungs, sensory organs, and thyroid gland. Mercury is also connected with communication, higher learning and the element of air.

In this recording, I chant the Bija mantra for the heart chakra: YAM. It is pronounced "YUM" with emphasis on the "Y" and "M" to generate the appropriate sound wave pattern.

This bija enhances the the sense of unconditional love towards self and others. Its associated element is air. Associated color is green. Associated symbol is a blue circle. Visualizing these intentions, elements colors and symbols help to direct the energy of the sound.

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.

For the Heart Chakra, the vowel sound that matches its wave pattern frequency is AH.

On the wheel of the drum, the center of the drum is played for the Inner Self Direction. This rhythm connects with the heart chakrachakra.

The energy here teaches how to find your heart’s joy, how to be faithful to your inner truth and protect your sacred space.
