Enjoy these free mp3 downloads of the mantras for the Five Tattvas.
Each Tattva is associated with a specific mantra meditation that calls on the qualities of the corresponding Tattva.
The Earth Tattva
The Earth Tattva is associated with the First Chakra. Our sense of groundedness is affected by the state of this chakra. Issues of fight or flight, survival, and abandonment can come up again and again in ways that sabotage healthy autonomy if the wounds acquired in this chakra are left unchecked. A crucial part of our maturation process is to realize that our wounds are meant to serve us and we are meant to heal. In the process of healing our wounds, we acquire the ability to heal others.
The Water Tattva
The Water Tattva is associated with the Second Chakra and the reproductive system. This is where creativity begins at its most primal source. it is our responsibility to clear unproductive emotional patterns within ourselves so that we can flow from an authentic and joyful place. Emotional transparency is the basis of true intimacy-in relationship with ourselves, others and the Infinite.
The Fire Tattva
The Fire Tattva relates to the Third Chakra and the digestive organs.Fire is an agent of healing and transformation. Through the proper use of this element, we learn to fully digest the experiences that we get from life. We experience a type of internal combustion when we give ourselves the experiences that support expansiveness in the Third Chakra. We become aware that we have the momentum not only to survive but to thrive.
The Air Tattva
The Air Tattva is associated with the Heart Chakra, the center of kindness and compassion—where “Me” becomes “We.” In learning how to value and care for ourselves, we begin to authentically value and care for others. Once we begin to see the world’s joy and despair as our own, the response that results from this connection is compassion.
The Ether Tattva
The Throat Chakra is linked with the element of Ether. The origin of Ether is the Shabd – the primordial, unmanifested sound; the energy that is the precursor for sound.The quality of Universal Truth is manifested through the Throat Chakra. As we embrace this Tattva, we surrender to the ultimate awareness: All truths united equal One Truth. All spirits united equal One Spirit.
