Monday Mantra

Ahoi hoi and happy Monday. It's hard to believe that it's December already. I've got holiday's on the brain. It was nice to have last week's mantra be one of calming the mind. I would like to continue in that vein with this week's mantra being one of groundedness. Even for folks who don't celebrate during the holidays, the frenzy of energy that gets swirled up can throw one into a tailspin. Our mantra this week will help get your feet back on the ground and keep them there. It is a very simple mantra, making it easy to call up in those times of frustration. This week we are practicing the Lam Beej mantra.

The lam beej mantra is attached to the root chakra. The chakras are energy fields that are believed to be a part of our body's make up. We have seven major chakras that spin and create energy in the body. For more information on chakras, click here. The root chakra is associated with grounding, family, and the color red. Each chakra has a seed sound. The seed sound of the root chakra is lam (lah-m)

To practice the lam beej mantra, simply repeat the seed sound lam 108 times. To strengthen the power of the mantra, try to channel the color red as you repeat it. If you would rather listen and absorb the energy of the chant, here's a recording of it:

Have a great week!
