A-u-m…
a-u-m… a-u-m…
Sure this
sound is well-known by almost everybody in this world.
Sacral
sound, religious sound, universal sound and whatever you want to see inside.
For me
personally this sound helps to organize myself before yoga practice and to keep
the presence of your life in yourself.
So, here
are some facts about this mantra.
What is a
magic of Om?
Mantra Om
consist from two letters, but three sounds and basically here they are:
Sound A
symbolize the moment of awake in the morning, brings the energy forcing in your
physical body.
Sound U
symbolize the activity during usual day, which is basically the middle of
calendar day, middle of moon circle, which keeps your energy awaken but calm
and soft.
Sound M
symbolize the moment of diving into deep dream while you’re slipping. Energy
flows are soft and almost not noticeable.
Also you
can consider the A-U-M as a life circle, beginning of life, middle of it and
final chapter…
How to
chant?
Take a
comfortable sitting position (it could be Easy Pose, Hero Pose, Lotus Pose
etc), prepare your body and close your eyes. Hold your posture for three
breaths with your eyes closed. Keep your chin parallel to the floor. Inhale,
exhale… Inhale and using your exhale start to chant A-U-M, inhale and on your
exhale A-U-M and one more time. It could be three times or any number of times,
which you can split by 9. Bring your hands to prayer, bring your chin to your
chest. Neutralize your head and gently open eyes.
