How Do Chakra Mantras Work?
To begin, simply find a quiet place to relax and meditate, whilst you chant to yourself the chakra mantras I’ve detailed below.
There’s a unique mantra to repeat for each chakra – known as a bija or ‘sound of the chakra’.
Whilst chanting, you’ll feel the vibrations flow through your body as energy that activates each chakra.

I’ve included an overview of each chakra so that you know what each disk is responsible for.
You’ll also find tips on what to concentrate on too e.g. for the crown chakra, you should imagine floating away from the material, physical world that most of us feel attached to.

As you’ll discover below, whilst it’s important to activate the chakra, too much energy flow can cause a negative effect too.
Use these mantras as a way to balance your energy flow – so that your chakras are neither blocked nor over stimulated.

Tips For Using Chakra Mantras
Don’t Try To Do Everything At Once
When you’re chanting Chakra mantras, just focus on one chakra at a time.
This gives you a higher level of focus on each chakra, concentrating your healing energy throughout the body.
Discover Your FREE Personalized Moon Reading NowBe Patient
Chanting mantras is incredibly empowering, but don’t expect results every time.
Developing peace within takes years of consistent practice, and it’s no different with chakras.
If you meditated for a day, you wouldn’t expect to become enlightened straight away.
Discover Your FREE Personalized Moon Reading NowIt’s the same for chakra mantras – take your time and enjoy the journey.

It’s All In The Timing
If your mind is busy, distracted and not fully focused to the task at hand, you won’t be able to find inner peace.
Discover Your FREE Personalized Moon Reading NowSo you have to find a convenient time to practice these chakras, when you’re relaxed, calm and prepared to focus your full attention.
Here’s what I’d recommend:
- Dedicate a specific time of the day to practice
- Switch off all electronic devices so you’re not distracted by sounds and notifications
- Often mornings and evenings are the best time to practice chakra mantras
- Make sure no-one’s going to burst into the room whilst you’re practicing
- Being hungry will distract you! Eat something light and healthy before you begin
Wear The Right Clothing
