Kailash Parbat Dhanya Hai-Aum Namah Shivaya

In the chant I hear the words Base, Navel, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, Head--what do these all mean, why are they there?
Each sound is closely associated with an energy centre of the body also called Chakra, and an element of the Universe. Beginners (and many experienced people) may find it difficult or distracting to remember all the different energy centres associated with each sound. Trying to concentrate on remembering the various energy centres may also give your ego a wonderful opportunity to disrupt the process. By including the promptings in the chant, I have eliminated any such opportunity so that you may concentrate fully on the creative process of the chant and enjoy the wonderful feeling and experiences that the chant will generate. I have included a brief description of each sound.

Ah - (10 seconds). Concentrate on the Root Chakra located in the base of the spine. This is a very powerful sound and it is the principal sound associated with creation. While chanting this sound visualize the object of your intention or your petition. In your mind eye see the object of your desire as having already materialised. In this case, because you are using the chant to bring about world peace :-), visualize a world filled with kind people being in harmony with each other, animals and mother nature. Feel the happiness, the safety, the well being.
Oo - (10 seconds). Concentrate at the heart centre. This connects you with Divine Intelligence. This may foster intuition, imagination, vivid dreams, creativity.
Ma - (5 seconds). Concentrate on the throat centre. This sound grounds you. It is a sound associated with body and earthly consciousness--it will foster rest for your system.
Om (10 seconds) Concentrate on the third eye, located in between the eyebrows. While chanting the Om, visualize your request or petition leaving the body through the third eye and being sent directly to the Creator-- for the tech heads it is like sending an SMS message to God. Unlike earthly SMS messages, your petition energised by the Om sound NEVER fails to reach the recipient. You have done your part, you can rest confidently that your "text message" has been read and acted upon--immediately.
Na (5 seconds) Root centre, earth energy
Ma (5 seconds) Navel, water energy
Shi (5 seconds) Heart centre, fire energy
Va (5 seconds) Throat and nostrils, Air energy
Ya (5 seconds) Two eyes, Brain, Third eye, Space energy
