Exploring the influence of chakra meditation and seed mantra chanting on root and heart chakra related behaviors in young adults

“Chakra” or the Sanskrit word “Cakra” is documented in the Hindu Text Atharvaveda, which are the energy centers providing pathway for energy to enter and exit human body.

Objectives: This study investigated the impact of Root and Heart Chakra meditation, incorporating seed mantras at specific frequencies (639 Hz for Root and 396 Hz for Heart), on the behavioural manifestations associated with these energy centers in young adults.

Methodology: Forty undergraduate students (age: 22.13 ± 1.3 years) participated in a 12-week intervention program involving daily meditation practices (six days per week). A parallel control group (n=40) maintained their regular routines. A pre-designed questionnaire assessed Root and Heart Chakra-related behaviors at baseline, mid-intervention, and post-intervention in both groups.

Results: Statistical analyses revealed significant improvements in Root and Heart Chakra-related behaviors within the experimental group across all assessment points. In contrast, no significant changes were observed in the control group.
