Welcome to this short but powerful meditation on the OM mantra.
The sound of OM is said to be the primordial sound of the universe,
A vibration that connects us to all of creation.
Chanting OM helps to calm your mind,
Balance emotions,
And harmonize your body's energy.
So,
In this session,
I'll guide you through a gentle practice of chanting OM so you can experience its peaceful resonance for yourself.
Let's just begin by centering ourselves with the breath.
Sit comfortably either on a chair with your feet flat on the floor or cross-legged on a cushion.
Allow your spine to be tall but relaxed and gently close your eyes.
Now,
Take a deep breath in through your nose for a count of four.
Hold your breath for four counts.
And now exhale slowly through your mouth for six counts.
Let's do this together a few more times.
Inhale 1,
2,
3,
4.
Hold 1,
2,
3,
4.
And exhale 2,
3,
4,
5,
6.
Continue in your own time.
And one more time.
Inhale.
Hold.
And exhale completely.
Feel yourself softening into the moment,
Grounded and open.
The OM mantra is made up of three distinct sounds,
A,
U,
And M,
Which are chanted as one flowing vibration.
The A represents the beginning,
Creation,
And the physical world.
U symbolizes preservation,
Growth,
And the subtle world of thoughts.
And M signifies transformation,
Unity,
And the deep stillness within.
Together,
These sounds create a vibration that resonates through the body and mind,
Bringing balance and peace.
So,
Let's begin now by chanting OM together.
You can either chant along with me or simply listen and let the sound wash over you.
Take a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Chant the sound OM.
Just allow the sound to fade naturally.
So,
Let's try this together.
Inhale deeply.
And release.
Feel the vibration in your chest and throat.
Allow it to flow naturally.
Let's do this again.
Breathe in deeply.
Now,
We'll continue chanting together for a few more rounds.
Breathe in at your own pace and chant OM with me.
Feel the sound vibrating in your body and spreading peace throughout your being.
Deep inhale.
And once more,
Deep inhale.
Now,
Just let the sound of your OM fade into silence.
Sit quietly for a moment and notice how your body feels.
Can you feel the subtle vibrations within?
Sense the peace and harmony that chanting OM brings.
Sit quietly now,
Allowing the vibrations to settle.
Just reflect on how your body feels,
The calmness in your mind,
And the sense of stillness within.
Simply be present in this moment of peace.
Take this stillness with you as you move through your day,
Letting it guide you in moments of stress or destruction.
When you're ready,
Take a deep breath in.
Exhale softly and slowly open your eyes.
Carry this sense of calm and connection with you as you move through your day.
Thank you so much for sharing this sacred practice with me.
May the sound of OM continue to resonate with you,
Bringing peace and clarity to your life.
Namaste,
My friend.
Namaste.
