Let's talk about root, baby

by Savitree Kaur

There is an energy center in our body that governs how everything manifests for us in this physical world.

It affects our immune system and our sense of security and survival, which determines how we respond to fear, our level of steadiness, what habits we take on, our feelings of scarcity, our ability to let go (elimination), and our ability to move forward in life.

Without this foundation, our focus remains primal, decreasing our chances of transcending hardship and seeing beyond our most basic needs. For this reason, the root center - or first chakra - is the foundation from which all others are built. Similarly, the Mul (root) mantra, is the base from which all kundalini yoga mantras are built. The Mul mantra is associated with the root center and helps us transcend limitation. 

Chanted daily, it begins to re-write the thought patterns that hold us back.
 
The Mul Mantra is called the "fate killer," and it changes destiny, orienting you like a compass, setting your sail in the direction you want to go. It increases sense of security, and therefore strengthens your immune system and ability to see through the lens of abundance rather than scarcity; it helps you harness fear rather than shrink from it. It brings steadiness, and with it prosperity. 

This year's theme for the White Tantric Yoga course is to get rid of frustration. Frustration often comes from our inability to align thoughts and feelings with appropriate action and desired outcomes. These inabilities often stem from first chakra imbalances. 

It is recommended that we practice a 40 day meditation or kriya post White Tantric.

Whether or not you attended WTY, consider chanting the Mul Mantra for 40 days (how long it takes to create a habit). It's a fate killer. Meaning, it changes your mind, making you the master of your own destiny rather than the victim of circumstance.

Repeat it 11 times a day. 

Mul Mantra:

Ek Ong Kar
Sat Nam
Karta Purkh
Nirboa, Nirvair
Akaal Moorat, Ajoonee
Saibung
Gurprasad, Jap!
Aad such, Jugaad such
Haibee such, Nanak hosee bhee such
