Mantra Meaning
This mantra creates deep healing in the body, mind, and spirit. It can be used powerfully for physical ailments and to relieve pain. This mantra is known to bring in deep feelings of bliss.
This mantra invokes the help of the god Rama, who is a reincarnation of Vishnu. Commonly many mantras chant Ram along with Sita, who was known as the wife of Ram in Hindu texts.
This was done to worship the divine feminine and the divine masculine. This also symbolizes on a large scale the yin and yang not just simply divine romance.
This mantra also opens the solar plexus or Manipura chakra, the solar plexus. The solar plexus is the seat of our inner power, self-confidence, and motivation. It holds our inner warrior and is associated with the element of fire.

Om Ram Ramaya Chant
A mantra is a sacred intention you repeat in a meditative space in order to align with its message. To begin, find a comfortable and quiet space where you can be undisturbed.
You can set the mood by lighting candles, finding a nice space outside, or cleaning the area you plan to meditate in. The environment you meditate in can have a direct impact on your ability to focus.
• Bring your awareness to your breath and take note of the state it is in without trying to change it
• Scan your body with your mind’s eye and focus on where your body makes contact with the earth
• Spend at least five minutes arriving into a more calm and centered mental space before beginning chanting
• You can use mala beads to assist you in chanting, chant in your head upon each exhale, or verbally chant aloud
• Repeat the chant for at least ten minutes to reap all the benefits of the meditation
• You can set a timer so that you know when to bring your focus back and so that you do not lose your mental focus wondering how long it has been
• Bring your focus back to your breathe and take notice of the state of your mental body once it has returned to silence
• Feel your body connecting with the ground once again and when you are ready, open your eyes
If your mind wanders off during meditation try these tips to gently bring it back. It is called a meditation practice because it is not meant to be perfect and every day you will be in a different mental state.
