The Breakdown of Om Namah Shivaya

Om – Before there was the universe, there was void of pure existence and vibrationless.

 Out of this void came vibration, which is known as Om or Aum. Then slowly the creation of the universe began.

Namah – Literally, it means to bow or adoration

Shivaya – Shiva or the inner Self (or Supreme Self)

In Siddha Shaivism and Shaiva Siddhanta Shaivism tradition, Namah Shivaya is 

considered as Pancha Bodha Tatva of Lord Shiva and his universal oneness of five elements.

Na – Earth

Mah – Water

Shi – Fire

Va – Air

Ya – Sky or ether

Meaning that “universal consciousness is one”. 

These five components manifest the absolute of the universe according to Hindu philosophy.

The “NA” drops into the first chakra, the foundation place which embodies earthiness and solidity. 

It has a lot to do with survival issues on an emotional level, the right to belong and to have. 

It is found at the base of the spine in the tailbone area.

The “MA” rises to the second chakra, represented by the water element and issues around 

sexuality on an emotional level, the right to feel and to desire. It is located a little below the navel.

The “SI” rises to the third chakra or jewelled city and is located in the solar plexus. 

The element is fire and emotional issues centre around themes of personal power, the right to act, and stand in one’s power.

The “VA” rises a little further to the fourth chakra or heart centre. 

The element is air. This chakra is the first to move beyond the lower three densities

 of the animal soul and allows an opening to love, the right to love and be loved.

The “Ya” resonates in the fifth chakra or throat centre and is associated with the ether and space.

 It often deals with issues around expression, the right to speak and be heard.
