Mantras are special sound combinations that are pronounced slowly and create certain vibrations that affect the activation and functioning of the chakras. In yoga practice, mantras are also called mystical syllables or formulas that affect energy.
The word "mantra" comes from the Sanskrit "manas" - the mind and "tra" - to purify. The combination of sounds, their rhythm and tonality bring the body into resonance with a certain frequency. This leads to some change in consciousness and the ability to extract healing, joy, peace or another state from it. Each such sound formula has its own special purpose. Reading mantras to cleanse the chakras and aura is the most effective practice that allows you to harmoniously influence the course of life.
What are chakras?
The energy centers responsible for the strength and consciousness of a person, located in the inner subtle body, are called chakras. Any chakra contains mental structures (thoughts and ideas, work with beliefs), memory, control unit, energy shell (body),petals (helps absorb energy).
Each active zone has its own symbols, sphere of influence, corresponding character traits, color, sound. There are 12 chakras in total, but the main ones in humans are seven. It is to work with them that the chanting of mantras is directed.
When one of the chakras does not have enough incoming energy flow, it begins to outwardly affect the quality of life, problems and difficulties appear in a certain area, diseases arise. The opening and cleansing of energy centers with the help of mantras allows you to open access to the necessary flows of power. For these exercises to have a good result, they should be carried out regularly - several times a week, and preferably daily.
