Taken from the book:Household Feng-Shui.
"When chanting mantra's, you should use your mind
power to transmit and instill the sound and it's frequency into your heart chakra.
While you are chanting a mantra 108 times, do the following visualization:
Visualize a white lotus inside your heart gradually opening to full bloom. Upon the lotus sits the seed syllable Hum.
The Hum syllable emits a beam of strong white light that travels along your central channel from the heart chakra, through the throat chakra, to the crown chakra. (Chant the Guru's Heart Mantra 108 times.)

i have a question. i thought we were suppose to visualize Guru when we chant the Guru mantra. Is this another visualizetion method that can be done?

Personally I use this to steady my
visualization then I visualize the Root Guru.
If anyone has any comments on using this method
otherwise please comment.
Thank you.
