Mantras
Mantras are sound healing powerhouses.
The mantras here are in Sanskrit. Thousands of years old, Sanskrit is one of the oldest known/recorded languages. Sanskrit is an energy based language, meaning that the syllables of the Sanskrit language were chosen by the way each syllable’s frequency affected the body’s energy centers. Words built from the syllables were constructed to intentionally engage certain energy centers for specific reasons during the recitation. Chanting these mantras feeds your energy centers directly and invokes the collective power surrounding each mantra from thousands of years of being chanted with specific intention.

When well connected, hearing and listening can come from this place. Yet, the throat is also the filter for body and mind. Organs of the throat chakra are constantly taking in sound, information, air, food, liquid. And so, it can commonly become clogged with toxicity. This chakra is about creating clarity and space.

EIM, pronounced: “I’m” is the seed syllable mantra for Saraswati. Saraswati is the deity of sound, music and education. There are two key chakra vowels included as you sound out the seed syallble EIM: EYE (throat), and EEE (crown) that relate to this Seed Syllable and Saraswati.
As the deity encompassing energies of sound, music, and education, Saraswati clears the mental ‘noise’ making way for higher learning and spiritual connection. This relates to the throat chakra - and its energetic sound of EYE - as it also acts as the filter for clearning out mind ‘stuff’ to make way for higher truth. And of course the crown chakra - and its energetic sound EEE - is where we receive this higher truth to begin with. Lastly, Saraswati means ‘one who flows,’ so the gentle cleansing and flowing aspect of water is also invoked while chanting EIM. Our sacral chakra - the seat of creative potency, inner child and sense of self - is the body’s center of water. So chanting EIM is nourishing of these three areas and aspects.
