About OM
I have spent days reading about OM and how it is used through millennia in Vedic rituals, in different religions and in yoga. It is described as a base sound, the first sound and newborn makes as it approaches the mother’s breasts to suckle. The sound of opening and closing your mouth.
OM is also described as the sound of the Universe’s vibration (if you listen to recordings from space, it’s easy to agree). OM is also considered to be beyond history, religion, as something eternal and divine. You do not have to believe in anything to get the beneficial effects of chanting OM. Research shows that OM meditation has affected our nervous system to greater calm, affects the brain and positively. OM has also been shown to affect the parasympathetic and vagus nerve. Part of the effect is probably partly due to how the chanting makes the breathing slower, which is good for body and soul.
