The Power of Chanting ‘Om’
Sometimes it just takes one song or vibration to help us move through emotions. The Sanskrit word ‘Aum’ or ‘Om’ holds a powerful frequency to transmute overactivity in the brain and nervous system back to peace.
OM is considered the ultimate vibration because it contains every vibration that has ever existed and every vibration that will ever exist. just as white light contains all the colors of the spectrum, OM contains every sound in the vibrational spectrum—even those we can’t hear with our ears. According to Chandogya Upanishad, OM is Bhrahma, the timeless consciousness. It is inhabited by the Trinity. When you meditate OM all your conflicts and inner turmoil disappear.
In Jainism, Om occupies a vital place as the remover of all sins. Its essence carries magic that can free your mind from material conditioning. It is not a word; it is an intonation which is beyond the barricades of age, race, and culture.
The mystic syllable OM is made up of three words “AA” “AU” and “MA”, when combined make the sound of Aum. According to ancient yogic scriptures, the letter OM corresponds to three gunas (values):
A: tamas, it signifies darkness and ignorance (waking state)
U: rajas, it signifies passion, activity and dynamism (dream state)
M: sattva, it signifies purity, truth, and light (state of deep sleep)
