Om/Aum

om

Om/Aum is the ultimate Mantra (repeated sacred word).

Aum/Om has its own symbol

it represents the conscious, the subconscious and the unconscious in everything

The word Om is mighty and omnipresent.

It is believed that Om is the ancestor of Amen.

 

Om emphasises balance.

Paramahansa Yogananda states: ‘the infinite potencies of sound derive from the Creative Word, Aum, the cosmic vibratory power behind all atomic energies’.

Any word spoken with clear realization and deep concentration has a materializing value. Loud or silent repetition of inspiring words has been found effective in Coueism (a method of self-help stressing autosuggestion) and similar systems of psychotherapy. The secret lies in the stepping-up of the mind’s vibratory rate.

Molecular vibration never ceases. Inherent tendencies are equal to the sum-total of impressions/stimuli that you imbibe, which then live on in the mind. Repetition of creative sound is the greatest stimulus that can be given to the spirit, by repeating the Om/Aum mantra, one is keeping great company with one’s own mind. Light enters, ‘the self’ will become manifest.

With AUM, the first letter A is the root sound, the key, pronounced without touching any part of the tongue or palate. The second letter, U rolls from the very root to the end of the sounding board of the mouth. The M, and third letter represents the last sound in the series, being produced with the lips closed. With this in mind it becomes clear to see that Om(Aum) represents the whole phenomena of sound-producing and shows all possibility and range of word making, it is in short the matrix of sound and nature.

JUST SAY OM!

AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

the most popular tantric mantra is ‘om mani padme aum’ which literally translates to ‘the jewel in the lotus’ and also another way of saying ‘the lingam is in the yoni’

AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

is the universal sound – that which contains all mantras – the only mantra you will ever need

when chanting aloud, the final mmmm is pronounced ‘ng’ .. this channels the sound vibration into the spheniod sinus .. nestled here is the pituitary gland … the gland which produces somatotrophin, a growth hormone, significant in wound healing and essential for the production of collagen  ……

the OM is pronounced as a diphthong

A                    =        A-ha! representing the Eureka of self-discovery and realisation

Ooooo          =       the sound of wonder and surprise, when one retouches on

child-like innocence

Mmmmm   =        the universal sound of pleasure and delight

these three syllables represent the triology of Past, Present and Future

when the final syllable is chanted . . . ‘ng’ . . . it is called Anuswara, or ‘little heaven’  …. knowing this, we hold the final sound 2/3 longer …. within it is the transcendental sound not heard by the ordinary ear; the unstruck sound heard in Anahata (Heart) Chakra
