Energy itself is a sort of vibration and we can see it (and measure) it even at the atomic level. They are sort of like a primal vibration, at the very core of our existence.Įverything in this world has a vibration. It is this state of connectedness that we recognize as Divine Truth, self-knowledge, higher consciousness, or WHATEVER term that describes meditative bliss. It’s like a mantra meditation that connects the mind, body, and spirit as one. The Adi Mantra sets the tone for your yoga practice. So I want to break it down for you here so that you know exactly what you’re chanting the Adi mantra at the beginning of each Kundalini yoga session.

It’s an incredibly powerful mantra that helps us connect with and refine the divine flow of infinite creative energy, both in ourselves and the reality around us.īut I was doing Kundalini Yoga for years before anyone ever really explained what this meant or how to do it properly!

#Guru dev namo plus#
Understanding plus knowledge equals wisdom. By this it connects the throat center with its power of understanding to the vast knowledge of the third eye (pituitary gland region. For this reason, spiritual teachers were often called Gurus as they brought the light of wisdom to the darkness.ĭEV: resonates through the throat and into the nasal passages. Its meaning: the giver of the technology (GU: darkness, RU: light). Both 'Gu' and 'Ru' are sounds which shoot out like a cannon from the chest and lungs.

GURU: is straight from the heart or chest chamber. Its meaning: reverent greetings, salutations. We open the abdominal chamber with this resonance. Its two consonants 'N' and 'M' close off the front of the mouth and force the cylinder of vibrating air down the esophagus into the abdomen. ONG: is nasal, vibrating the upper palate of the mouth and in turn the hypothalamus gland, pituitary gland, nasal passages and the entire head chamber. The eyes are closed and focused on the 6th Chakra, the Third Eye: the space in between the eyebrows and about 1/2 inch up. Your neutrality is at the center of your Chakra/Energy centers. The Mudra is then placed in the center of the chest (the Sternum) at the 4th Chakra, the Heart Center.

The positive side of the body (right or male) and negative (left or female) are neutralized.

The palms of the hands are flat together (Prayer Pose/Mudra). These words when chanted correctly, resonate in the three chambers and awaken them to the effects of the yoga about to be done in class. Within these three chambers are the glands and organs that govern bodily functions and set the blood chemistry which in turn controls mood. There are three main chambers: the head, the chest and the abdomen. More important than this mantra's literal meaning, is the resonant activity it creates within the human body. Always chant it at least three times before beginning any session of Kundalini Yoga this is a very important mantra! It establishes a strong and clear connection so that we can receive the highest guidance, energy and inspiration. This mantra calls upon the Creator, the Divine Teacher inside every human being.
