Day 9 Summary

The Power of Om

As we start to evolve spiritually, we acquire taste for more spiritual sounds. The most sacred sound in the universe is the sound of OM. Chanting Om connects us to the sound vibration of God, the mind transfers the mind into a higher frequency. We begin to enter a more contemplative dimension, and ask ourselves questions like, ‘Who am I?’. Mental modifications can be purified by the repetitive chanting of the sacred sound of Om. From this practice alone, obstacles disappear and simultaneously dawns knowledge of the inner self.

The Classical Way to Chant Om

There is a classical and suggested way to chant Om; granted, however you chant it, there are still benefits! Classically, the sound is AU-O-M. Aahhh-Oo-Mmmmmmm. One third of the exhale creates the ‘AU’ sound, which turns into ‘O’; two thirds of the exhalation is on the labial sound of ‘M’ (with the teeth separated and the lips closed). This method of chanting Om enables us to trap the resonant sound vibration within the skeletal system, and even the bones of the skull reverberate. This creates a balance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and the mind enters a calm state of peace.
