chant with music

Kundalini yoga combines chanting mantras, meditation, breath work, and movement. Traditionally you would chant the mantras without music, however listening to the sounds of Kundalini music can help you to learn the chants while also still engaging your Kundalini energy, the primal energy that sits at the base of our spine and can rise up through our chakras for a Kundalini Awakening.  

​

the meaning of mantras

The repetition of mantras can help to shift the frequency of thoughts and orient the mind during meditation. Some mantras are said to have vibrations that can stimulate and nourish chakras, or create rhythms that can help to awaken Kundalini energy.

Here are some examples of the Kundalini mantras you’ll find in the music, as well as the basic translation to better understand and embody the chants:

• Ek Ong Kar Sat Nam: this mantra reflects the core principles of unity and truth in the universe and translates to "There is one Creator, and truth is the divine essence." 
• Sat Nam: translated as "Truth is my name," this mantra affirms the divine truth as the essence of one’s being.
• Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo: known as the Adi Mantra, this opening mantra translates to "I bow to the Creative Wisdom, I bow to the Divine Teacher" and is said to open up the spiritual channel
• Wahe Guru: this is a single phrase that translates to "Wonderful God" or "Great Guru." It is a powerful expression of awe and reverence for the divine.

We recommend looking up the meanings of each chant to embody their essence in a more authentic, meaningful way throughout your practice.
