It is a kind of beej mantra to relax the mind. Generally, this kind of meditation should not be of any harm. Whether to do it or not should be left entirely to her choice. Nothing should be enforced. If she wishes she can, during the process, chant inwardly simply the safest of all, AUM since the beej mantra is to be done silently. It does help to quieten the mind, nothing more.

Nevertheless mankind …
This seems to be a premonitory dream and the snake seems to be ‘Kaalsarp’ (Time-snake) that chases us. We can either heed to its warning and evolve swiftly or else get paralysed with fear. So it seems that your father (and you too by default) has entered this phase of either an evolutionary leap or else a succumbing down to the evolutionary pressure and the challenges…
