A 60-minute session in the Indian classical tradition, combining the seven chakra bija mantras with higher-overtone Himalayan bowls, at Jivan Parivartan in Tarkeshwor, led by sound healer and meditation teacher Swami Anish.
Vedic sound healing is the use of the bija (seed) mantras of the seven chakras, paired with tuned higher-overtone Himalayan singing bowls, to settle the nervous system and rebalance the subtle body. It is the Indian classical tradition of sound work, distinct from the Tibetan tradition, and it draws on the Sama Veda, the oldest body of sacred sound material in the world.
The Vedic understanding is that each centre of the subtle body has a corresponding vibrational signature, and that the right sound at the right place produces a physical and energetic settling that no amount of thinking, talking or analysis can match. The tradition has carried these mantras forward without interruption for several thousand years, refining the syllables until they do what they are supposed to do quickly.
At Jivan Parivartan, this work is led by Swami Anish, our co-founder. Swami Anish is a sound healer in the Tibetan tradition, a Reiki Master, a certified clinical hypnotherapist, and a meditation teacher who has spent more than a decade working with both Vedic and Tibetan sonic systems. He chants the mantras live in the session rather than playing recordings; the difference is significant.
If you have ever wondered why mantras feel different from background music, or why certain sounds make the body settle while others do not, a single Vedic session is the most direct answer you can give yourself.
Each centre of the subtle body has a single-syllable seed sound. The session moves through them in order, from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.
| Chakra | Bija Mantra | Element | What it works with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muladhara (Root) | LAM | Earth | Groundedness, safety, basic stability |
| Svadhisthana (Sacral) | VAM | Water | Creativity, sensuality, flow |
| Manipura (Solar Plexus) | RAM | Fire | Will, confidence, digestion |
| Anahata (Heart) | YAM | Air | Compassion, grief, connection |
| Vishuddha (Throat) | HAM | Ether | Expression, honesty, voice |
| Ajna (Third Eye) | KSHAM / OM | Light | Clarity, intuition, insight |
| Sahasrara (Crown) | OM | Pure consciousness | Connection with larger meaning |
You arrive at our Tarkeshwor centre, fill in a short intake form (medical history, pregnancy, any specific area you are working with) and have a few minutes of conversation with Swami Anish. He may give you a focus mantra for the day, or simply let the session do the work without instruction.
You lie down fully clothed on a comfortable mat with a bolster under your knees and a blanket if you need one. The session begins with two or three minutes of slow breathing to settle the nervous system. Swami Anish then moves through the seven chakras in sequence, starting at the root: a higher-overtone bowl tuned to that centre, followed by the corresponding bija mantra chanted slowly, two to four repetitions, then a brief silence before moving to the next.
The arc takes about 45 minutes. By the throat centre most clients have dropped into a meditative half-asleep state; by the crown you may have lost track of time entirely. The final 10 minutes are quiet integration. You sit up slowly, drink water, and have a few moments to come back into ordinary attention before you head back into the city.
Many clients book a single session out of curiosity and book a series of three or five within a week. The cumulative effect is more interesting than any single session, especially if you are using the work for sleep, stress or chakra-specific concerns (relationship work with the heart centre, expression work with the throat centre, clarity work with the third eye).
Co-Founder & Meditation Guide
Swami Anish co-founded Jivan Parivartan to bridge Eastern contemplative practice with Western therapeutic work. He is a meditation specialist, Reiki Master, sound healer and certified clinical hypnotherapist, and has spent more than a decade integrating these modalities into a single grounded approach to inner transformation. He leads the centre’s meditation programs, one-day transformation intensives and clinical hypnotherapy sessions.
For Vedic sessions specifically, Swami Anish has spent more than a decade studying the bija mantras under teachers in the Indian classical tradition, alongside his Tibetan singing bowl work. The combination is what makes the centre rare: practitioners who work in both traditions can give you an honest recommendation between them. If Vedic doesn't suit you on the first visit, he will say so and suggest a Tibetan or mixed session next time. Founder Maa Nisha Kabir also offers occasional Vedic sessions during teacher-training intensives.

This was much more than a course for me. It was a journey of learning, healing, and self-discovery. I learned Reiki, meditation, and sound healing in a warm and supportive environment. I met wonderful people and gained valuable experiences that I will carry with me. Thank you for everything.
