Meditation and Mantras

Using mantras to enhance enlightenment.

We are already Divine. Part of the Divine World. However we find ourselves in darkness.

Immersed in addictions, fear, depression, and anxiety. We don’t find or see our true nature until we can move past the darkness into the light. The darkness is still part of the universe and a very necessary part also. So our journeys in darkness and out, have been necessary as part of our learning. We are now ready to be in our true space and place, and to experience this throughout our daily life and activities.

The mantra has made my Enlightenment a practical experience. Something I can do through the body and mind down to the tips of the toes and through all emotional mental and physical states. I use mantras that will work through the chakras.

Its centres that take in and give out energy. Traditionally there are sounds associated with the chakras called bija mantras or seed mantras. However the traditional seed sounds for the centres are not commonly used as “every day” mantras for chanting. (But certainly as a meditation aid). There is however another way that I access the energy of the chakra so that the negative energy is moved up and out of the body, and the divine energies move down to the specific chakra that I focused upon.

I get this focus with a seed mantra, allied to the Goddess Energy per chakra, and to the Shakti, (Divine Energy seen as female in presentation). This is in essence a Tantric form of using mantras, as tantra is “go out into the world”. By using these seed mantras which relate to specific Divine energy or forms, which are also specific to a chakra, we can put our enlightenment to practice throughout the whole body.

As I meditate on all the chakras I we release the negative power and receive the divine power. Tantric mantras can produce almost instantaneous results, due to the awakening of the kundalini, the primal energy or Shakti. (As I initially experienced in India). This was a clearing process, but it seemed “weird” temporarily. It can be also problematic if a person is practicing tantric kundalini awakening, using bija mantras without guidance. That is why the teacher, guides or guru are important throughout the journey.

Unlike all the others OM is not specific to female/male energy.

This is the sound of the universe, the Cosmic Soul, the Brahma, that transcends everything.

The Maya energy is in the heart chakra. Maya or Mahamaya as the Goddess, is the loci of our illusion, the world and the created universe. Seems real! Then seems to change, then vanish. Our dreams disappear. Our lives disappear! It’s real enough to the unenlightened person, but really we are not solid bodies at all! (Check Quantum physics for the scientific perspective regarding the atom “dance” of so-called solid matter). The seed mantras are part of tantric lore. Goddess worship via Shakti/ Kundalini accesses a power for practical material & spiritual purposes. Thus the seed mantras should also be considered in terms of both external focused meditation and for the “reverse” flow of energy back down the body through the chakras. This flow took me to the life experiences that I needed to learn from, & sometimes suffer. This is an essential concept of Tantra & helps spirituality to be intimately connected to all parts of the body based life journey
