Bija Mantra

Bija or seed are associated with the petal of each chakra. A bija mantra is a sacred syllabe that make you vibrate at the chakra frequency, if you use the corresponding mantra.

Let us get down to work with chakras. There exist certain combinations of sounds (a sort of mantras), singing of which contributes to development of chakras by producing resonant vibrations. Mantras will also help us to attain clear sensation of our chakras. Here are these mantras:

for sahasrara — AM (a-a-am), (open “a”, like in “half”)

for ajna — VOM (vo-o-om),

for vishudha — HAM (kha-a-am),

for anahata —YAM (ya-a-am),

for manipura — RAM (ra-a-am),

for svadhisthana — VAM, (va-a-am), and

for muladhara —LAM (la-a-am).

Let us sing these mantras all together — gently, producing high frequency sounds (taking female voices as a pattern for the pitch), but not in a loud voice, at the same time concentrating in the corresponding chakras. When moving concentration of consciousness into the next chakra we will enter it from behind the back or the nape of the neck, as if getting into a cell or a niche.

We should repeat the whole set of mantras several times, trying to achieve clear perception of vibrations in all chakras.

This exercise must be practiced every day. When there is no possibility to sing the mantras aloud you may sing them mentally to yourself but only after you thoroughly master singing them aloud.

Maximum attention both now and at the next stages we will pay to work with the anahata chakra — even this will make your life brighter and more joyous.

If the very subtle and gentle singing of mantras for chakras is not mastered — no further work will be successful. Men usually are the ones who have difficulties with this especially frequently, since subtlety is often an unknown thing to them. The following recommendation may help them. Take some water in your mouth and start gargling so that a gurgling sound can be heard. Bring the water lower inside the throat. The sound becomes higher. Let it reach as high of a pitch as possible. Those are the notes at which you should sing the mantras for chakras.

Let us learn another method of development of chakras. We should visualize a white 3-dimensional figure formed by four equilateral triangles with joined sides. This figure is called tetrahedron. We will be inserting this figure into each chakra one at a time from behind with one of its apexes looking forward while rotating it rapidly counterclockwise, if looking from behind, around a horizontal axis coming from back to front. For the two outermost chakras the rotation of the tetrahedron should be performed around a vertical axis; in case of sahasrara the apex of the tetrahedron should look upward, while in case of muladhara — downward. The direction of rotation of the tetrahedron for these two chakras should be counterclockwise if looking from inside the body. Performance of this exercise will be easier if we combine it with “blowing” of the corresponding mantra into a chakra.

All exercises with chakras described above (as well as with meridians, which will be described later) are more efficiently performed while standing. And the next exercise — also while walking slowly in a park or a forest.

But I should warn that trainings like these increase sensitivity of students to energetic impacts from the side of other people as well as to information that may be introduced by spirits of different levels of development. Therefore there is a risk for those who are not mature enough from the intellectual and ethic standpoint of failing to react adequately to such impacts, especially in conditions of real or imaginary threats.

This is the reason why people who have not reached the age of 20 should not engage in this kind of work. In fact, even among adults only few will benefit from it.

Psychoenergetic trainings that lead to the attainment of high levels of consciousness’ refinement and — as a consequence — to the feeling of its “nakedness” under no circumstances must be conducted for the masses of people. Only the selected ones should be admitted to them. All other people will have a possibility to grow intellectually and ethically working on their self-improvement exoterically: by accumulating new knowledge, serving other people and strengthening their faith.

But there is a simple exercise with the spiritual heart that everyone may try doing without any pre-conditions. Imagine that your head has moved into the chest. Feel the nose, the forehead and the lips. Move the lips. In order for the head not to rise to its usual position you may imagine that you put a hat on your head. Then follows the most important thing: you need to open your eyes and to “blink” the eyelids there… From now on learn to look at the outside world from your chest. You will perceive the world in a totally different way: not as tough and hostile, but as subtle, tender and responsive to emotions of love.

This is what is called opening up of spiritual heart. As we can see, this is quite easy to do. Desire is the only thing one must have for it!

In the future one needs to learn to look from anahata not only forward, but also backwards.

The next stage is to do the same with the rest of the chakras. (“Windows” of muladhara and sahasrara look downwards and upwards respectively. But one can also look forward and backwards from these chakras).

Learning to look backwards is important not only because it contributes to development of chakras, but also because by looking forward we got accustomed ourselves to seeing the world of material objects, while pure and subtle eons with Consciousness that lives in them are behind.

Moreover, by performing this exercise we prepare ourselves to the future going out from the body. And this should be also performed backwards, from anahata.

A great number of mystics of various countries and cultures get deceived by learning to going out from the body forward or upward. This manner of exiting from the body gets them into a certain sub-layer of the “astral plane” (depending on their own status on the subtlety-coarseness scale) — a rather dense eon that is the closest to the material world. From the “astral plane” one can very easily see the material world and people with their thoughts. This comes along with the possibility to “spy” upon them, play jokes on them or influence them in some other way… This turns out to be interesting and exciting…

But when the body of such person dies he stays attached to material objects. He did not get any closer to God and his incarnation was spent in vain.

But if we made necessary transformations of our main meridians, especially of chitrini (Brahma-nadi) — one of the subtlest structures of the organism, then by passing through chitrini we immediately “fall out” into eons of the Holy Spirit at the least. And there we can see Him as Light-Love and feel Him as Tenderness. There we learn to merge with Him and to become one with Him.

…Do not these prospects that can be so easily attained spur you to reject your old dogmas and vices and to dash “with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength” towards the Embraces of God?
