Meditating with the mantra of your moon nakshatra is a powerful way to connect with the symbology of that nakshatra which will have a significant influence over your purpose in this life. Chanting the mantra of your nakshatra can also remedy or strengthen the placement of the moon in your chart. In the video below, we document the sound of a simple nama mantra of Yama:

Listen to the sound and feel it working to transform your life or chant along with the video to meditate with this ancient mantra.
The Sanskrit “Yama” (यम) can be translated to mean “binder”, and refers to the Vedic deity of death, the underworld and Dharma (correct behavior). Bharani nakshatra is connected with themes related to death, reincarnation, sacrifice, discipline and justice. Bharani is often considered the star of restraint.
