Chakra Mantras
The following Mantras are chosen for their ability to balance and support your entire system.

They are attributed here to specific chakras based on different factors including: the presiding
diety, the overall function of the mantra, or the presence of the syllable associated with the seed
sound of the chakra.

Each of these mantras offers multiple benefits. Ancient mantras are some of the most universal
spiritual technologies available, and are by no means limited to the association with a particular
chakra. While you may find it helpful to center your attention within a specific chakra, the
healing energies will travel where they need to go and do whatever needs to be done.

First (Root) Chakra

Mantra to Ganesh, Remover of Obstacles

Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha

This mantra is used to dispel or remove internal obstacles that are holding you back. You don’t need
to know the nature of the obstacles, just hold the intention for their removal. “This mantra unifies
us within. When there is oneness, there are no obstacles.” –Deva Premal and Miten

Om – a seed sound, called The Sound of the Universe – vibrates to the 6th chakra and
integrates male and female energies
Gum – seed syllable for Ganesh
Ganapati- another name for Ganesh, the god of Oneness and Unity
Yei – syllable that activates shakti (energy)
Namaha – ends many mantras, means “I offer.”

Mantra to Lakshmi, Giver of Abundance

“OM Shreem Mahalakshmiyei Namaha”

In this mantra we call on Lakshmi, who personifies abundance and blessings. This is
abundance in harmony with Divine Oneness. At the highest level, abundance is the energy of
expansive creativity in all forms.

Shreem – seed syllable for the principle of abundance

Maha means great – greatness in all ways.
Lakshmi – the goddess of abundance and blessings
Yei – syllable that activates shakti (energy)
Namaha – ends many mantras, means “I offer.”

Mantra to Avolokiteshvara and Kuan Yin

Bodhisattvas of Compassion
Om Mani Padme Hum

This is known as the mantra of compassion. It is attributed to 5th Chakra as well as heart,
because it enables us to embrace polarity and hold all extremes in order to embody compassion
for all.

Fifth (Throat) Chakra

Mantra to Shiva. Balances entire system.

Om Namah Shivaya

Each syllable of this mantra corresponds to one of the elements of the chakras. . Om calls the
energies down. Each following syllable moves from the root up: Na(earth), Mah(water),
shi(fire), vaa(air), ya(ether). When chanted properly, each syllable activates certain energy
centers within our bodies as we meditate upon the energy of Lord Shiva

When sung with intention the mantra balances the entire system and connects you above and
below to the light.

Sixth Chakra: Jivatma (the individual soul)

Mantra to Guru Rinpoche

Om Ah Hung, Benza Guru. Pema Siddhi Hung

I invoke you, Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava! By your blessing may you grant us mundane
(health, wealth, success) and supreme (enlightenment, liberation) realization.

Seventh Chakra: Oneness

The Gayatri Mantra - The Essence Mantra

Om bhur bhuvaha svaha

Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasya dhimahi
Dhiyo yonah prachodayat

English Translation: We meditate on the transcendental Glory of the Deity Supreme, who is
inside the heart of the earth, inside the life of the sky and inside the soul of Heaven. May S/He
stimulate and illuminate our minds.

This mantra is also known as the Sun Prayer. In “The Book of Runes,” Ralph Blum says the
following about the Gayatri Mantra:

“While reciting the Gayatri, visualize the sun's rays streaming forth into the world, entering
your heart, then streaming out from your heart's center and back into the world. You are
saying to the sun You can address the Sun in this way:

You who are the source of all power,

Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

Thisa powerful and life-enhancing prayer. “ ~ The Book of Runes, Ralph Blum
