"Important Bija (Seed) Mantras and Usage With Marmas


The mantra HUM (pronounced ‘hoom’) is Varma bija or the seed sound of protection, having a fiery nature. It can be used specifically to protect marma and varma points and is probably the most important mantra in this regard. It can be repeated relative to any marma that one wants to protect from injury or debility. This mantra can be used along with the marma meditation practice outlined above to create a protection of mantra (mantra-varma) around the physical body and the aura. Visualize this mantra as creating a deep blue protective force that can ward away all negativity, disease or debility. Chanted with a shorter usound, as in the word ‘put’, HUM has a more fiery energy for purposes of warming the marmas and increasing Agni or fire at their locations.
The mantra OM is Prana bija or the seed sound of energy and vitality. It can be repeated relative to any marma that one wants opened, cleared and released. It carries the energy and immortal force of the higher Self (Atman).
The mantra AIM (pronounced ‘aym’) is Guru bija the seed sound of speech, guidance and concentration. It can be used for directing mental energy and healing intentions to any marma point. It holds the Sarasvati energy, the energy of wisdom and creativity.
The mantra KRIM (pronounced ‘kreem’) is the seed sound of Kriya shakti or the power of action and represents electrical force. It can be used to stimulate and energize any marma with pranic force. It holds theKali energy, the energy of transformation, internalization and spiritual awakening.
The mantra SHRIM (pronounced ‘shreem’) is the seed sound of wellbeing and projects a nutritive lunar energy. It can be used to heal or soothe any marma region, particularly from conditions of weakness. It holds the Lakshmi energy or the positive force of health, well-being and prosperity. The mantra HRIM (pronounced ‘hreem’) is the seed sound of the heart, space and Prana and projects a solar force. It can be used to open, energize and heal any marma. It holds the Goddess energy in general as a force of health, vitality and enlightenment.
The mantra KLIM (pronounced ‘kleem’) is the power of attraction or magnetic energy. It can be used to increase Kapha or Ojas energy at any marma. You should recite these mantras a minimum of 108 times (or multiples thereof) for one month (preferably between two new moons) in order to fully energize any marma. It is best to meditate upon the marma you intend to energize and repeat the mantra along with the breath, energizing the marma on inhalation and releasing it on exhalation.
Mantras for the Elements and the Chakras The seed mantras of the elements can also be used at the marma points that connect to the chakras, like the mantra YAM for the region of the heart.
