Day 15 - Let's Chat: Beeja Mantra & Your Sun Salutations

In this “Let's Chat” video series, we explore scientific and philosophical thoughts around yoga.
As an alternative to the 12 names of the sun, there is a series known as the Beeja mantras or seed symbols which can be incorporated into your Surya Namaskar Practise.
Mantra can be broken down into two words ."Man" meaning mind and "Tra" meaning freedom Through the repetition of the sound of the mantra we are freeing our mind from our material conditioning.
The Beeja mantras do not have any literal translation in English, however they set-up powerful vibrations in the body and mind inviting you to experience another aspect of your practise, on an esoteric level.
Through the repetition of the sounds of the beeja mantras the energy in each chakra is vibrating at a higher frequency. Giving you scope to expand into higher levels on awareness.
The Beeja Mantras are 6 in number and are repeated consecutively in the following order.
Hraam
Hreem
Hroom
Hraim
Hraum
Hrah
The 6 seed sounds are repeated four times during a complete round of Surya Namaskar. For spiritual benefits it is recommended to practise 3 to 12 rounds slowly. For physical benefits it is recommended to practise 3 to 12 rounds quickly. Beginners should start with 2 to 3 rounds adding one more round every few weeks to avoid fatigue.
Advanced practitioners may practise a larger number of rounds however strain should be avoided at all times.
In special cases 108 rounds maybe undertaken for purification but only under guidance with a yoga teacher.
You are invited to enjoy this new experience with mantra
In the video I will complete 4 rounds starting slowly with the mantras in the first 2 rounds and gradually increasing the speed to complete the last 2 rounds.
