Bringing sound healing and Ayurveda together provides unique insight into healing and an individualized
approach to sound therapy. Many conventional sound healers approach sound therapy from a broader
perspective, applying sound therapies to groups without understanding each person’s unique
di7erences.
By combining Ayurveda and sound healing together, you can discover the right sound healing practices
for your unique constitution and doshas. This actually goes deep into Ayurvedic philosophy by allowing
us to understand how to use bija mantras or root sounds for healing.
Sound Healing for Your Constitution or Doshas
In Ayurveda, each individual has a unique constitution made up of the three doshas called vata, pitta, or
kapha. Each person typically has one or two doshas that are predominant. When you learn your
Ayurvedic constitution, you can begin to customize your life to keep your doshas in balance and find your
unique state of harmony.
The primary method of combining sound healing and the doshas is through bija mantras. See below for a
brief summary of the bija mantras according to your dosha or constitution:
• Vata – The bija mantra for vata dosha is “Lam.” This bija mantra is connected to the earth element
and can promote the grounding of the airy and mobile vata dosha.
• Pitta – The bija mantra for pitta dosha is “Vam.” This bija mantra is associated with the water
element and can provide a cooling and calming energy to the fiery pitta dosha.
• Kapha – The bija mantra for kapha dosha is “Ram.” This bija mantra is connected to the fire
element and can help the cool and heavy kapha dosha to feel more stimulation and awakening.
If you are a yoga practitioner, then these mantras may also be familiar to you as the root or bija mantras
for the chakras. The chakra vowels or bija mantras can also help balance the elements and energies in
the body, providing deep sound healing from an Ayurvedic and yogic perspective.
The Power of OM
It is also essential to mention the immense power of the mantra OM for incredible sound healing. AUM or
OM is the primordial sound of the universe – it is believed to be the original sound of the universe, and
chanting this mantra can tap you into this higher frequency. OM is the all-encompassing healing sound,
promoting balance for all doshas and constitutions.
