Learn everything about this Chakra mantra that is known to make you more expressive

The Vishuddha Mantra, or the 'Ham' mantra, is associated with the Vishuddha or Throat chakra.

The Vishuddha chakra is the fifth of the seven chakras or energy centers residing in different locations of the human body.

The throat chakra is located in the throat. The Vishuddha chakra is considered to be the energy center that fuels your identity, your voice, your truth.

It's name comes from its particular function of purifying toxicity that we 'breathe' in. This toxicity can be more than physical, like thoughts and ideas.

'Vishuddha', in the Sanskrit language, means detoxed. It is derived from two Sanskrit words, visha (poison) and shuddhi (purification).

This chakra is associated with space or ether. It is considered to be the source of the purifying force that removes all toxicity that we accumulate over time.

If the throat chakra is out of harmony, it can hamper the growth of our mind, body, and soul.

Moreover, an imbalance in the throat chakra can impact you physically with issues like anxiety, speech impediments, and thyroid-related issues.

The Ham sound activates the throat chakra. It is the seed syllable or bija mantra of the Vishuddha chakra.

It cleanses all the pent-up toxicity in your body as well as your psyche. This makes you the best version of yourself, both emotionally and physically.

Chanting the Vishuddha mantra regularly cleanses your throat chakra and heals you of your past mistakes.

It gives you, your body and mind, a clean slate to better yourself.

Vishuddha mantra is part of the Ancient Chakra Healing Meditation Mantras.

FAQ about Mantras

We answered some of the important questions that
can help you get started with mantra meditation

What is a mantra?

A mantra is an ancient rhythmic chant that is practiced for mental, spiritual or emotional healing. The powerful sounds of a mantra are composed to fulfil a certain intention, both for the chanter and the listener.
The oldest mantra is said to be more than 3000 years old, and mantras are found in various cultures across the world, including Hinduism and Buddhism.

What is mantra meditation?

Mantra meditation is the practice of deep focused listening to a mantra in a meditative state to fulfil a certain intention. Mantra meditation is an excellent tool to raise one's vibrations, overcome suffering and strengthen one's powers of attraction.

How does a mantra heal?

The healing power of a mantra lies in its sounds. Each mantra has been composed in order to create a certain response from the mind, body and spirit.
A mantra, when practiced repeatedly with complete surrender, has the ability to heal in the following ways:
* It swiftly detaches the mind from all current overwhelming thoughts and emotions.
* It elevates one's vibrations, creating a vibrational shield of positivity and clarity.
* It strengthens the powers of intuition and attraction.
* It soothes all pain and suffering with its deep sounds.
* It improves mental faculties like memory, concentration and creativity.
* It is an enhancing additional tool that can deepen the experience of most other spiritual practices.

Do I have to know the words and chant along?

Chanting a mantra is one way of receiving the benefits of that mantra.
However, it might be quite a difficult task to master the pronunciation of a mantra, especially if it is in a language that is foreign to you.
In that case, you can always gain the same benefits of a mantra by practicing mantra meditation. Simply put, mantra meditation is the practice of focused listening to a mantra while being in a meditative state.

Comparing the two, chanting and meditation, you should choose mantra meditation if you are at all in doubt or in difficulty regarding the pronunciation.
That's because not pronouncing the mantra right hampers its power drastically.
That said, even though it can at times be complicated to learn chanting, it is worth the effort.
Chanting a mantra is an intensely satisfying, liberating experience that you must try to gain.

Will the mantra healing really work for me?

You only have to answer three important question to figure out if mantras and mantra meditation will work for you:
Are you ready to move past your suffering and conflicts?
Are you ready to set a strong intention of well-being and give it your sincerest focus?
Are you ready to devote some time and attention to the practice of raising your vibrations every day?
If your answer to these questions is 'Yes,' then mantras will certainly work for you, and guide you on the path of your desired life.

Does the mantra provide healing for medical issues?

Although a mantra is an excellent tool for soothing our suffering and uplifting our lives, it is not an alternative for any medical treatment or therapy.
It is important to remember that while medication, treatment and medical therapy support our physical healing, mantras do the job of aligning our mind and our consciousness to derive the most from such healing.
