The Sa Ta Na Ma meditation is a powerful Kundalini Yoga practice that is often used for mental clarity, stress relief, and emotional balance. It is based on the mantra “Sa Ta Na Ma,” which represents the cycle of life:
- Sa – Birth (infinity, beginning)
- Ta – Life (existence, experience)
- Na – Death (change, transformation)
- Ma – Rebirth (renewal, regeneration)
This meditation is typically practiced while chanting the mantra and performing finger movements (mudras):
- Sa – Touch the thumb to the index finger (wisdom)
- Ta – Touch the thumb to the middle finger (patience)
- Na – Touch the thumb to the ring finger (energy)
- Ma – Touch the thumb to the pinky finger (communication)
It can be done silently or aloud and is often practiced in 11-minute or 31-minute sessions. There are numerous guided videos that can be found when searching YouTube, which are great for those new to meditation.
