Now place your left hand on your left knee and your right hand in front of the lower part of  your breast bone (a little bit above the Solar Plexus). Concentrate on the Heart Chakra and chant the sound YAM. This note sound is equivalent to "F" on the piano or "Fa" in solfege.

Cross your fingers on the inside of your hands, without the thumbs. Let the thumbs touch at the tops and pull them slightly upwards. Concentrate on the Throat Chakra at the base of the throat and chant the sound HAM. This note sound is equivalent to "G" on the piano or "Sol" in solfege.


Pineal Gland AKA Third Eye Chakra (Between your eye brows)
Put your hands in front of the lower part of your breast. Place the middle fingers straight and let them touch at the tops, pointing forward. The other fingers are bent and touch at the upper two phalanges. The thumbs point towards you and touch at the tops. Concentrate on the Third Eye Chakra slightly above the point between your eyebrows and chant the sound OM. It is pronounced "Aum". This note sound is equivalent to "A" on the piano or "La" in solfege.

Put your hands in front of your stomach and let the ring fingers point upwards, touching at their tips. Cross the rest of your fingers, with the left thumb underneath the right. Concentrate on the Crown Chakra at the top of your head and chant the sound NG. This note sound is equivalent to "B" on the piano or "Ti" in solfege.


WARNING:  DO NOT USE THE CROWN MANTRA CHAKRA IF YOUR ROOT IS NOT STRONG.  When opening the Chakras they should always be opened from Root to Crown but if you are just going to open one or two, always make sure you do the Root first.
