Bija Mantra
A bija mantra (Sanskrit: बीज मन्त्र) is a one-syllable sound used in meditation or yoga practice. The Sanskrit phrase bija mantra directly means, “seed mantra” and is comprised of three little words; bija meaning seed, man meaning the mind or to think, and tra meaning an instrument.
A good place where bija mantras are used on their own is with the chakras, or energy centers, that align with the spine. The most common chakras begin at the base of the spine and then become more refined as they arise and eventually conclude at the top of the head. Each chakra is associated with its own bija mantra (Chakra bija mantras):
Lam – muladhara (root) chakra
Vam – svadisthana (spleen or sacral) chakra
Ram – manipura (solar plexus) chakra
Yam – anahata (heart) chakra
Ham – visuddha (throat) chakra
Sham – ajna (third eye) chakra
Om – sahasrara (crown) chakra
The best known bija mantra is Om (or Aum), which is the sound of Brahman, the vibration or primordial sound. It is often chanted during yoga practice and meditation. Other common bija mantras include:
Krim – believed to awaken the lower chakras.
Shrim – correlates to the goddess Lakshmi and is thought to promote health, joy and beauty.
Hrim – associated with creativity, purification of the heart and healing.
Hum – energizes the body and eliminates negativity.
Lum – associated with the earth element and is used as a grounding chakra
Vam – associated with the water element and is used to ground and increase sensuality
Ram – associated with the fire element and is an energizing mantra
