Om Namah Shivay: A Chakra Journey

With Darshak N Gala

Om Namah Shivay: A Chakra Meditation Journey is a gentle yet transformative 8-day course designed to deepen your awareness of the subtle body through mantra and focused attention. It is for anyone with an inclination to explore the healing power of mantra meditation and the chakra system in a simple, grounded, and nurturing way. Using the mantra Om Namah Shivay, this journey brings shuddhi (cleansing) and vital energy by chanting and meditating on the six primary chakras—from the Root to the Third Eye. Through daily teachings and guided chanting, you will work towards releasing what no longer serves you and energizing your entire being. Day 1: Foundations. We begin with essential information on chakras, the mantra Om Namah Shivay and the simple method of our practice, including a short-guided meditation. Days 2–7: Chakra-Specific Practice. Each day, we focus deeply on one energy centre, chanting the mantra 21 times. Day 8: Full Integration. The final day integrates all six chakras into one continuous, flowing meditation, chanting 11 times at each centre to harmonize your entire energy system and complete the practice. You are invited to explore your inner space, build concentration, and open yourself to a greater sense of peace and subtle awareness. Prior experience helps but is not necessary.
