10 Mantra For Meditation
Morning
is the best time for meditation as it promotes your transition from the
passing moments to a complete new state in which you can start your
day. And the best way to enter a meditative state is by practicing
mantras. Being spiritually-oriented, mantras can work as ‘higher
energetic vibrations’ and help you achieve a whole new level of
enlightenment. Here, we have compiled a list of 10 best morning
meditation mantras for you.
Mantra For Meditation During The Early Hours
1. Om:
‘Om’
is the most common as well as sacred mantra that you can practice in
the morning for expressing the ‘original vibration of manifestation’.
This word is taken from Sanskrit language. It generates an extremely
comforting sound when the vibration is allowed to loiter in the throat.
In order to enter the deep meditative state, you have to focus on that
ultimate silence which produces and absorbs the sound. It comforts and
relaxes the soul irrespective of your spiritual inclinations.
2. Love:
‘Love’
is the second most popular mantra in this list. It is a very powerful
way to create a lovable ambiance around you. When you utter the word
‘love’, you feel great and it reflects on your physical appearance.
During meditation, you need to focus on this physical feeling that comes
from repeating the word aloud. It simply eliminates all your anger and
depression and fills your heart with love.
3. I Am:
Identifying
self-existence, recognizing self-power and acknowledging self-divinity
are some important aspects of meditation. This mantra is absolutely
perfect for chanting at the start of a day and honoring yourself for who
you are. When you add positive affirmations with ‘I am’, you eventually
strengthen your inner-self and step towards success.
4. So-Hum:
Here
is a natural mantra, which is known to be universal for morning
meditation. The vibration generated during the pronunciation of ‘So-Hum’
is actually a part of your regular breath. As air enters your lungs
during inhalation, the ‘soooo…’ sound is produced. On the other hand,
‘hummmm….’ is generated when air goes out of the lungs during
exhalation.
5. Lam:
There
are a few morning meditation mantras, which focus on certain parts of
the body and improve their functionality. ‘Lam’ is one among them. It is
intended for your spinal cord, especially its base region. In order to
practice this mantra, you need to position the tip of your tongue on the
back of the upper palate by bending it up as well as back.
6. Vam:
‘Vam’
is another mantra that you can practice in the morning during your
meditation to focus on your genitals and improve its functionality.
Start with holding the center of your lower lip with your upper set of
teeth. Do not press your lip with the teeth. Rather, place them gently
on it. Now, create a breathy consonant, which should sound like ‘fvam’.
7. Ram:
You
can also focus on your abdominal area and regulate its activities
through morning meditation. At first, you need to curve the tip of your
tongue and touch the crown of the front segment of the upper palate with
it. Then, start enunciating the word by rolling the ‘r’ so that it
sounds like a rumble noise.
8. Yam:
Morning
meditation is good for your cardiac health, if this mantra is practiced
regularly. The sound generated during the practice of this mantra is
very much similar to humming as you need to breathe in through the mouth
and that too audibly. You also have to make the inhalation process
longer than the actual resolution of the consonant.
9. Ham:
When
you practice the mantra ‘Ham’ during meditation, you basically follow
the way opposite to the previous form. Breathe in through your mouth
without generating any sound of inhalation. Now, start uttering the
sound ‘yum’ while the air moves in your lungs and allow the cavities of
your mouth and throat to be filled with it. The region of awareness for
this mantra is throat.
10. Om Mani Padme Hum:
According
to Buddhism, the mantra ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ means “The jewel is in the
lotus or praise to the jewel in the lotus”. It can be divided into six
syllables, the first three of which represent the adulterated ‘body,
speech and mind’ of the person who is meditating and the last three
stand for the pure glorious ‘body, speech and mind’ of Buddha. It is
known to be one of the most effective morning meditation mantras that
can take the practitioner from an impure state to a pure one.
