Om: A mystic Sanskrit syllable, considered the most sacred mantra in Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism. It appears at the beginning and end of most Sanskrit recitations, prayers, and texts.
I love to help people deeply relax and feel more at home in their bodies. I do this in my Massage and Craniosacral sessions and in my Yoga classes.
October Om to you!
Below is an excerpt from the article "The Meaning of Om." If you'd rather have a visual aid description click on the link above.
Many layers of meaning are there for the delving, yet om has endured in popularity simply because of its vibration — how we feel when we chant it. “The sound itself seems to calm the nervous system,” says Stephen Cope. “Like all chants, it gathers and focuses the mind, and in that state it’s not vulnerable to the rising of the odd thought that will create grasping or aversion. It shifts us out of our ordinary discursive mind and into a more contemplative mode.”
Yoganand says that chanting om also creates a link with those who have practiced before us. “It’s a sound that validates oneness and harmony,” he says. “We chant it because yogis have for thousands of years. And when we chant it, we’re connecting with those yogis in a ritual way, and drawing upon the support of the practices they’ve been doing for a long, long time.”
Namaste, Niki
