Magic of 'OM'

[Edition #18] [3 min read]

Growing up in an Indian household, I am no stranger to the sounds of chanting.

OM (Pronounced “AUM”) was a significant part of religious chants.

This made me curious to learn more about the science behind it.

What I found blew my mind!

Let’s dive in ↓

👉️ What is OM?

In the Vedas, OM is a sacred sound of the divine and represents the sound of the universe.

It’s a sound and a symbol that denotes spirituality.

When chanted correctly, it fills our body with positive energy, peace, & a connection to the world.

Vedas = Ancient Hindu Scriptures

👉️ Benefits of OM

1. Mind - You gain full concentration and your mind becomes stable.

2. Heart - Feel calm. Improve the health of the heart

3. Hormones - Balance imbalanced hormones

👉️ Science of OM

Quantum physics says that every particle has its vibration & frequency.

This means we all have the frequency and vibrations that we exert in the universe.

When humans chant “OM” they change their frequency within themselves.

Plus it can help lower stress and anxiety levels.

👉️ How to Chant OM Correctly

The sound of OM can be broken down into three parts:

1. “Uhhhh

2. “Oooo”

3. “mnnnmm”

Each of these three parts has different vibrations that you can feel.

It’s important to feel through the vibrations and connect it with your breath.

You’ll also notice through practicing that as you chant OM you can feel the vibrations start from the naval and rise.

Do 5-10 repetitions daily. Preferably when you start and end your day.

Try it out & see how it makes you feel!
