HJ: Mantras have many modes of action in the mind-body-spirit triad.  On a mental level, they work as affirmations of ones own higher consciousness and divinity, which can work to replace limiting beliefs that do not serve ones highest good.  On a physical level, the repetition of mantras has multiple effects — the actual movements ones tongue makes activates specific meridian points on the roof of the mouth creating energetic patterns in the body that stimulate the chakras, meridians and higher spiritual and energetic centers.  The vibration of the words and sounds also affects the body in similar ways.

On a spiritual level, the repetition of sacred mantras helps one to remember and strengthen their connection to the divine within.  It soothes the mind and body, allowing for a greater expression of spirit.   Mantras can tame and disarm the ego, which frequently impedes us from accessing our true spiritual nature at any given moment.

Mantras have been used for thousands and thousands of years because they are extremely powerful and effective.  They utilize the sacred quality of vibration, which connects all things in this universe into one massive living matrix.  The mantras listed below have been developed and refined over millennia into the extremely powerful forms in which they appear.

I AM. The Mantra

I AM BOUNTIFUL, BLISSFUL AND BEAUTIFUL

I am bountiful, blissful and beautiful; bountiful, blissful and beautiful I am (kundalini yoga mantra). .I am. is one of, if not, the most powerful mantras a yoga or spiritual practitioner can repeat. The mantra can be in Sanskrit or other Indian dialects. The power of hearing a mantra in ones. own language creates a vibration of affirmation. The word, sound or what is called Naad in yoga is one of the most powerful tools we have for self-healing and self-growth.

One can do every yoga pose in the book, take many types of yoga, and yet, if they are not exposed to the concept of the power of the word, their experience of bliss thru yoga practice will be short changed. While we can certainly achieve a feeling of accomplishment, strength and flexibility from our practice of physical asanas, it is often time the experience of meditation which brings us to bliss, though not always. To quote the book Everyday Zen, real meditation is by no means a flowery, blissful process but if we really do it, in time, we begin to know what it is we are after; we begin to see who we are.

Gopi Krishna was a government worker in India in the early 1900.s who meditated for long hours every morning before going to his job. He was not an enlightened yoga master, but simply a highly disciplined meditator. When his practice resulted in the extreme reaction of a .kundalini rising experience,. where he lost physical, social and sexual appetite, he was unprepared for this reaction and the discomfort it brought. His story is an interesting and amazing one of a humble man who went much further in his experience than most of us.

As a kundalini yoga teacher sometimes people ask me if they too will experience their .kundalini rising.. Because kundalini yoga focuses so much on breath, sound and meditation, one certainly can experience energy movement and unique experiences in the mind and body. This is not, however, a .kundalini rising. experience, but rather, a shift of consciousness.

What is a shift of consciousness? Can it bring us bliss? A shift in consciousness is a shift in awareness. Our mind has many layers, including the powerful subconscious. Some people utilize drugs in an effort to experience bliss. Our teacher Yogi Bhajan teaches that meditation can bring similar results or experiences as drugs produce, but the mind is altered by our own efforts at consciousness shift utilizing poses, breath and sound rather than chemical and synthetic means that harm the brain.

Music is another aspect of sound or vibration that can affect our feelings of bliss. Krishna Das has a huge following of yoga practitioners who know his music and mantras. When in a room packed with these people, chanting from their hearts, one can easily be transformed into a feeling of bliss. Krishna Das has become the musical father of the yoga movement.

And since bliss is not always our everyday experience what can we do to elevate our physical energy into the ethereal? The body offers us the experience of earth, water, and air energy within us, but above us is the energy of bliss and joy. The ethers.

To help alleviate depression and release our energy to join the ethers, sit cross legged (or in a chair), raise the arms straight up, palms forward, fingers stretching wide and draw little circles inward as you breathe long, slow and deeply through the nostrils. Do this for up to 5 minutes. Let your physical body, your arms and shoulders be challenged. Let your rectum, the earth energy, be massaged with the movement and feel the energy move upward. Go beyond the physical. Soar into the ethers. Feel light.

Be Bountiful, Blissful and Beautiful. Remember I Am, I Am, I Am.

Mantra’s & Meanings

There are two things you can do to make the use of a mantra more powerful, regardless of how you recite. One is to see the mantra, as if it is being written as you say it, and the other is to actively listen to it as you say it, perhaps, in this case, when using the first two languages.

Walking meditation is a beautiful, simple, powerful and profound form of meditation which can help train your mind to reside in the present moment and tap into your highest consciousness. It’s is not just a modality. Awareness (mindfulness) is the light – Arul. The highest deed we can perform is becoming more in tune with the light that we are. All that is wholesome, wise including good deeds arises from this light.
    Light & Love

  9. Mantra means vibrational sound, once a combination of words which can put brain cells in such a symetric manner that one goes to sleep, one gets into trans, one feels intoxicated without taking any drug, one feels comfortable with one self, one feels light and roams in atmosphere, one gets so much of power that one can materialise any thing to help some one in distress.
    Mantra is to be repeated many times ie before going to sleep,before getting up from bed, before starting the day’s Doing every thing but not getting affected by it’s results….Practice selfless service to human beings as the creator’s best prayer is service to his creation.
    Reciting can be done while working, during eating during sleep by sitting,walking and lying down. One has to do reciting while breathing, for example, recite while inhaling and recite while exhaling like OOOOO—–MMMMMM, humming sound which makes every organ into a particular viberation.
    There is so much to communicate but it should be done face to face.
    One can recite a Mantra in ones own language, to be repeated in melodious sound by enjoying each word, the teast of doing rightly is that one goes to sleep instantly, time gap between start and going into trans depends on the negativity and type of past deeds ( Karmas ).
    The real bliss, the mental peace one gets is because of His grace and your own submission to His feet.
