2. Mantra
A mantra is a form of chanting comprised of a series of sounds which have been designed to raise and shift consciousness by means of vibrational rhythm produced by repetition, or japa. Mantras are coded sounds behaving like phone numbers, each having a unique effect causing one to connect with the original Source of blessings and guidance. Mantra, which means “mind projection”, is a technical device used to regulate the mind. Higher thoughts are the medicine of the mind, and chanting mantra meditation is the art of raising the mental frequency with thought patterns. Mantras are mystical words which have far greater value than the words we use in everyday language. Mantra spiritualizes thought, and whatever tends to spiritualize thought makes us receptive to healing.
By studying human anatomy, initiates have found a relationship between a particular nerve center and certain vibrational sounds. Such words enliven the spiritual center in the body. Vowels and words also have been found to have a particular impact on the planets. Certain words can be used to decrease the influence of challenging planets and increase the powers of beneficial planets in our lives. (link to the store; purchase planetary analysis)
As humans, our greatest power lies in our frontal lobe an upper palate. We can control our frontal lobe through mantra, control of the frontal lobe stops impulsive behavior and creates a meditative mind. All brain activity is controlled by our neurological system, by mastering the nervous system through chanting mantra, one can free themselves from disease. Words can be used through mantra and prayers to bring inner balance and harmony in a person’s life. There is no power in the is world that is greater than the word. Words can be used through mantra and prayers to bring inner balance and harmony in a person’s life. Mantra meditation is an advanced form of prayer and in essence is the art of using the science of sound to direct the Sunlight fluid to heal the mind, body and spirit.
All mantra is Japa which means to repeat. In Japa the mantra with repetition is projected to the universe and reflected back, as the experience of numerous voices chanting back to us. This leads to the state of Tapas, or the inner psychic heat of prana which strengthens our nerves while enhancing and expanding our aura. Beneath the repetition of words, a mystery is hidden.
3. 8 Laws of Sound
It is important to vibrate Naam with gratitude, understanding and live. Applying the 8 laws of sound when we vibrate Naam allows the practitioner to receive its benefits to the fullest.
- Make the breath the foundation.
- Give the same amount of attention, the same value, to every syllable or vowel.
- Be rhythmic, conscious, controlled, and harmonious.
- Prepare yourself mentally and emotionally to make sound.
- Have the right mindset; expect it to work.
- Have an emotional attitude of gratitude and thankfulness.
- The mathematics of sound is the master key to receive the down flow of the goodness of God.
- Return to the Creator at any time, in any place, through the knowledge and application of these laws.
4. Mudra
Yogis and Kabbalists routinely use mudras in their spiritual exercises of ritual meditation and concentration. Mudra yoga balances the five elements: fire, water, earth, air and ether (space)-existing in the universe (macrocosm), and in man (macrocosm). In so doing, mudra yoga can reestablish health by clearing blockages in the flow of energy running through meridian lines in the body. Blocks in the flow of the current result in illness, lethargy, weight imbalances, and or moodiness.
The use of hand symbols, mudras, can awaken consciousness, by activating the specific energy patterns necessary to bring about the desired healing manifestation. Symbols are very powerful and can be extremely useful tools as you learn to manifest in the world. The Ancients understood the significance of symbols and used them extensively for protection, health, and happiness.
Our hands are our primary instrument for expressing our personal, conscious will in our physical reality. Each gesture we make with our hands, whether intentional or unintentional, projects our consciousness.
One of the governing factors for how well a mudra will work lies in its longevity. When a mudra is practiced frequently over time, it creates an energetic pathway that becomes clearer an brighter with the crystallization of its original intention. Mudras can open and strengthen energetic patterns within the self that lead to a heightened state of consciousness. The more often your consciousness dips into a particular energy stream with the use of a mudra, the more easily you can focus on your goal and tap into its healing benefits. By repeating fixed, repetitive postures that focus and refine one’s awareness, the practitioner becomes cognizant of instinctive, habitual patterns that cause disease and discomfort, and develops the ability to address them. This is how mudra yoga positively influences one’s health and moods.
In time, you will know when a mudra has accomplished its purpose because you will no longer feel the need to use it on a daily basis, the long-term effect of the mudra will be imprinted on your consciousness. When you experience that level of growth, you can move on to other mudras to develop different aspects of your spiritual evolution.
5. Pranayama
Breath is life force of Prana and it is this force which gives us life. Breath is the connection between individual consciousness and Universal Consciousness. Pranayama literally translated means to expand or increase life force. Prana means life force and Ayama means to expand or increase. Yogic breathing exercises are known as pranayama.
By controlling the breath one is able to control the mind and tune-in to the subtler vibrations of the universe. There is an integral relationship between the health of the mind and emotions and the breath. The Naam Yoga Therapies science is quite expansive coupling breath with mantra, physical yoga, mudra, and silent meditation.
6. Root Lock
Root Lock also referred to as Mulbandh is an upward movement of the muscles in the pelvic floor towards the navel point and back to the spine. It blends the flow of Prana (upward moving life force energy) with apana (downward moving energy) and stimulates spinal fluid. It is often applied at the end of an exercise or mediation to consolidate the prana which has been collected.
7. Guru
Guru is that which takes us from darkness to light.
8. Aura or Auric Body
There are 7 chakras, energy centers in the body, and the 8th is the aura, the electromagnetic field of energy which surrounds every living creature. A strong, radiant aura can protect us from many misfortunes and strengthen our mental, physical, and spiritual bodies. Naam Yoga Therapies healing meditations and pranayams increase the auric field, thus increasing awareness.
9. Pentagram
The pentagram with the apex pointing up is the symbol of Man-Light, having purified Matter with Spirit. It is considered the mightiest Symbol in Universal Kabbalah. No darkness can stand before the Light of the Pentagram.
10. Tattvas
The elements of fire, air, earth, ether and water of which all creation, including the human body is composed.
11. Universal Kabbalah
