This bija enhances the the sense of one's life connection. It's associated element is the earth. Associated color is red. Associated symbol is a yellow square. 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.

This vowel sound resonates with the root chakra and the element of earth.

The west direction rhythm connects with the root chakra. It helps you ground and leads you to your personal truth and answers.
