"LAM" Chant - The sound vibration made in the throat & attuned with breath.
An easy way to raise your vibration is with chanting. A good place to start is with our chakra system, a metaphysical concept that is steeped in ancent knowledge. These 7 spinning vortices start from our perineum and continue up the spine to the crown. These energy centres which are spinning vortices of light, are at the front of and back, of our body, they go straight through us. Each give an indication of our emotional, mental, spiritual and physical state if we 'tune in' and feel the sensations we can energetically decode any stuck or sticking areas that may need a 'shake up', vibration can do that!
Tuning into these areas by chanting can release stagnant energy, allowing new energy to flow, in turn increasing our vibration.
Chanting combined with breath work and meditation on each chakra point for around 3 minutes will create energy flow. This energy flow will create a higher vibration. In this series I shall be talking about the main 7 chakras.
Chakra chanting for the root (Muladhara) is LAM, you can find many chanting videos on YouTube or Insight Timer and make this part of your practice. Just look up chakra chanting.
Chanting allows mind focus, going inwards and feeling the vibration of LAM in the root chakra which is located between the front and back passage at the base of the spine, just below the pelvic floor muscles, the area called the perineum. Pulled up this forms an energy lock. Try lifting your perineum whist in a meditation posture and chanting LAM, use belly breath attuned to your breathing for the first few breaths then change to Ujjayi (sea) breath.
Do this practice on your root chakra for 3 minutes and observe what feelings or emotions come up. The root chakra is your base animal instincts, your fight or flight. Anger can be stored here. Sit with the emotions as they occur without entering into a dialogue, just sit without judegement. at the end of each chakra chant note down a brief summory of how you felt at each chakra vortex. You will be surprised at what emotions come up and where you may need to focus any healing. You can literally send the vibration made in the epiglottis (throat) to the root chakra and you will feel it! Practice daily moving upwards from root to crown chakra.
Perceived negative feelings in the root chakra is not uncommon as with all the chakras, there could be stored up energy which needs releasing. Feelings include but are not limited to anxiety, uncertainty, loss of interest, restlessness, lack of energy, lack of identity, self esteem, depression and suicidal thoughts.
This is physical, self- identiy, self - expression & personal goals are all linked to the root chakra. Working on this chakra by focusing on this point through breath & chanting can release any blocks making way for a higher vibrational energy to flow. The root chakra is related to our survival instincs, to our sense of grounding and connection to our bodies and the physical plane. The root chakra brings health, prosperity, security and dynamic presence. Be sure to try the Lam chant.
The root chakra is Earth energy and is linked to the planet Mars. It is associated with Aeries.
Chanting for some feels odd, funny or even stupid. I get that, I once got thrown out of a yoga class for giggling whilst 'Aumming'. It didn't help that my sister was next to me and it caused a knock on effect. It did not go down to well and 3 of us were asked to leave. So I understand it can make you feel awkward in a class setting so why not have a go at home?
New meditation classes for chakra chanting along with singing bowls, scalar waves and frequencies are coming so watch this space, but in the meantime get your chant on! You'll sound odd at first but once you get past that feeling of awkwardness and feel the vibrations as they build, ebb & flow through you, you'll realise that raising your vibration doesn't have to cost a fortune, all you need is a YouTube video and to make it a practice each day.
