Anahata Mantra for Heart Chakra

The Yam mantra is considered one of the universal sounds in tantric yoga. Bija mantras, or 'seed' mantras, unlike most mantras, do not include any mention of the deity.

Instead, the mantra focuses on the energy flow and uses power in the inherent vibrations of the sound 'Yam'. Some consider the deities of this chakra to be Shiva and Parvati.

Shiva is the embodiment of consciousness while Parvati is a representation of nurturing nature. The Anahata chakra when functioning at its most efficient brings the balance between nature and consciousness.

The vibrations from the Yam mantra are believed to cleanse and activate the Anahata chakra. The Yam sound when chanted out loud repeatedly attunes your mind to reality.
