Ancient beej mantra technique as popularized by Deepak Chopra

This meditation involves chanting of "Om beej (seed) mantra namah!"

The beej or the seed mantra is derived from the sound of each
individual's nakshatra-pada. Nakshatra is one of the 27 sectors along the
ecliptic covering 13 degrees and 20 minutes, while pada is one quarter of the
nakshatra covering 3 degrees and 20 minutes.

The position of the moon at the time of a person's birth determines his or
her nakshatra-pada, thus making the seed mantra unique to that person.

The sound of the nakshatra-pada is suffixed with 'm' to arrive at the


individual's own primordial sound mantra.

You can find your nakshatra here (link opens in new window) by entering
your date, time and place of birth.

Once you have your nakshatra ready, all you need is your pada to derive
your beej mantra. Look at the start and end times mentioned along with
your nakshatra and divide the period between the two into four equal
quarters. Then check for the quartile in which your particular time of birth
falls. This will be your pada.

Now use this table to find your own unique beej mantra.

For example, if you were born in New York City on January 1, 1970 at 5.30pm,
your nakshatra will be Chitra and pada will be 2, making your seed mantra
Po and your personal primordial sound meditation mantra: Om Pom Namah!

Begin your meditation with:

 observing a minute of silence with closed eyes


 start chanting the mantra gently for 10-15 minutes
 finish by sitting still for a couple of minutes with no chanting toward the
end
Primordial sound meditation, like all other meditations, needs to be done
effortlessly without taxing yourself either physically or mentally.

The idea is not to force yourself into chanting the mantra in a set fashion or at
a certain pace. Let the tempo of the mantra flow naturally - it may be long or
short, fast or slow, loud or soft.

Do not resist any thoughts that may flood your consciousness and distract
you from the chanting. Let them come and go.

Just be one with whatever you experience.

There are people who believe in charging money for giving you your beej
mantra. I, on the other hand, believe that something as divine and as natural
as the primordial sound meditation should be free and available to all.

Nature's gifts to us - sunshine, air and water are free, so should be meditation
in all its forms.
