7 chakra mantra chants to activate your chakras

Why use a mantra?

To be effective, meditation, usually done in the morning before starting your day during sessions of 20 minutes minimum, should help you focus on your body and mind, which in particular involves emptying all thoughts that constantly assail us in our daily lives.

To do this, focusing on one's breath is the first exercise of meditation for the beginner, which helps one to concentrate on one single action of one's body and to prevent one's mind from wandering elsewhere than on this repetitive process to which one usually tends to give little importance, so much so that it seems instinctive.

The combination of a mantra with your meditation sessions, be it a simple syllable, a word or a sentence, add to the rhythmic of the breathing the vibratory qualities of the voice, which allows to contribute to the awakening, the healing and opening of a specific chakra. In the same way, it is not only a matter of mechanically repeating your mantra but, on the contrary, of grasping the full meaning at each repetition, according to the chosen rhythm, its combination with the inhalation and exhalation of your breath, whether it be spoken, sung, whispered or thought.

It is therefore not a question of suppressing all the thoughts that inhabit us permanently but of keeping only one, of making it grow at each repetition and during each meditation session. With practice, you will more easily reach a state of serenity of mind that will allow you to move to the murmured and then silent and slower phase of the mantra meditation, while at the beginning you will find it easier to recite your mantra speaking, louder and faster to help you eliminate any related thoughts from your mind.

The chakra mantra meditation consists in choosing the seed sound (syllable) associated with the chakra of your choice and focusing your meditation on this mantra, either alone or combined with your breathing and / or a visualization of the corresponding chakra.

Below you will find the list of 7 mantras corresponding to the 7 main chakras.
