What’s Up With OM ?

OM — The OM (or AUM) mantra, or vibration, derives from Hinduism and is considered to have high spiritual and creative power.

Everything in the universe is vibrating at a frequency of 432 Hz. Chanting OM aligns us with the power of nature.

Aum actually consists of four syllables: A, U, M, and the silent syllable.

• The first syllable is A, pronounced as a prolonged “awe.” The sound starts at the back of your throat and you stretch it out. As a result, you should start feeling your solar plexus and chest vibrating.
• The second syllable is U, pronounced as a prolonged “oo,” with the sound gradually rolling forward along your upper palate. Consequently, you’ll feel your throat vibrate.
• The third syllable is M, pronounced as a prolonged “mmmm” with your front teeth gently touching. You will now start to feel the top of your palate vibrate.
• The last syllable is the deep silence of the Infinite.  Finally, as intelligence rises from the deep silence, you have to merge your chant from the ‘M’ to the deep silence.
