Chanting Through The Chakras

In this Chanting Through the Chakras course, you will experience each of the 8 major chakras through the practice of chanting. We will chant each chakra's chant 108 times together to give you the direct experience and vibration of that chant. This is an opportunity to learn the basics about each chakra, as well as leaning into the chant for that chakra to discover which one might be beneficial for you to work with.

If you have done my 40-day learn to chant course, this is a follow up to that course for all my students who want to go deeper and discover what chant they want to work with next. If you have not done that course, it's absolutely fine to start here as well. This will give you a toe-dip into chanting as we do only one round of 108 for each chant.

The energy of each chakra holds powerful archetypal messages and an overall story of our own evolution. Pairing it with a chant can open you up to deeper and more experiential understandings of it within your own body.

Benefits of chanting include: healing from grief or loss, physically and metaphorically "getting your voice," overcoming fear and anxiety, feeling more grounded, experiencing balance and stability, learning to trust, and anchoring in self confidence. Pairing it with a chakra can open up even deeper healing within the properties that chakra holds.

If you are new to chanting, or you've been chanting a while and want to challenge yourself with a 40-day set, considered joining my 40-day learn to chant course. Let's dive into the chakras and see what they have to share with us.

Lección 1: Root Chakra

We begin with the root chakra at the base of the spine, and the paired chant Ganesha Sharanam, Sharanam Ganesha. Ganesh, or Ganesha, is the elephant headed deity said to be the remover of obstacles. Sharanam means refuge, so we are saying, “I take refuge in Ganesh,” or “I sit in the sanctuary of Ganesh.”

Lección 2: Sacral Chakra

We move to the sacral chakra just below the belly button, and the paired chant Lakshmi Ma, O Lakshmi Ma, Sri Ma Jai Ma, Jai Jai Ma. The sacral chakra is the location of the kundalini fire and the energy of Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity and abundance. This is an excellent manifestation chant when working on a project as it stokes the fire and calls in the support of Lakshmi to witness and support your creations.

Lección 3: Solar Plexus

We move to the solar plexus chakra between the belly button and the bottom of the rib cage, just at the diaphragm, and the paired chant Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha. This chant is associated with Green Tara, the goddess of liberation, and translates as "I release my addiction to suffering." This is an excellent chant when struggling with discipline, determination, boundaries and refinement.

Lección 4: Heart Chakra

We move to the heart chakra located at the center of the chest, and the paired chant Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya. I have come to see this chant associated with Quan Yin, the goddess of compassion, as it translates to "Love is Practice." This is an excellent chant when struggling with compassion, forgiveness and understanding.

Lección 5: Throat Chakra

We move on to the throat chakra located at the center of the throat, and the paired chant Rama Bolo, Rama Bolo, Bolo Bolo Ram. Ram is said to be the Lord of the Universe, and Bolo means to sing. So we are literally singing to the Lord of the Universe, God, Creator, Spirit, whatever name works best for you.

Lección 6: Third Eye

We move on to the third eye chakra, also known at the ajna, located at the center of the forehead between the brows, and the paired chant Om Gum Ganapataye Namaha. Ganapataye is another name for Ganesh, or Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity said to be the remover of obstacles we chanted to in the Root Chakra Chant. Om is the primordial sound of the universe. Gum is the seed mantra of Ganesh. Namaha is a salutation. So we are bowing, or saluting, to Lord Ganesh, the remover of obstacles, and the seed mantra and sound of the universe.

Lección 7: Crown Chakra

We move on to the crown chakra, located at the top of the head, and the paired chant:

Om Tryambakam Yajamahe
Sugandhim Pushthivardhanam
Urvaarukamiva Bandhanaan
Mrityormuksheeya Maamritaat

This chant is associated to Lord Shiva, the great destroyer that makes way for new creations. As we are at the crown and nearly ready to repeat the journey once more.

Lección 8: Moon Chakra

We move on to the Moon Chakra, the 8th chakra, located at the cowlick of the head, and also said to hover above the head. The Moon Chakra is the Moon of the body, the way the Solar Plexus is the Sun. We have both, and so I've included both here.

This chant is also known as the Pavamana Mantra. If you're looking for more challenging chants like the Crown and Moon, you can also find the Gayatri Mantra on the plus version of my library.

ASATO MĀ SAT GAMAYA

TAMASO MĀ JYOTIR GAMAYA

MRITYOR MĀ AMRITAM GAMAYA

This is an excellent chant for alchemizing after completion of a creative project, integrating it, and offering it back to spirit for future co-creations.

Reviews

This course was informative and interactive. I really got a lot out of it and will probably repeat it. I look forward to your other courses.

In loved this. Weirdly I finished a 80 hour fast with this practice. I feel so open and connected at the moment. I’m so glad I found your work Heidi, you are awesome🙂

Another wonderful, and thorough class! I had never heard of the Moon Chakra, and am excited to explore that whole new realm. Feeling really blessed to be experimenting with how chanting interacts with my energy field. Thanks so much! 🙏🏼🌿💜

Really wonderful! I completed the 40 day class, and currently on my second round of 40 days with a different chant. I enjoyed practicing all the different chants and noticing the different effects and experiences with each.

Doing the 40 days first and then this course of the 8 chakra chants was perfect. Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge and experience.
