Okay, So we are going to start our exercise with reciting the word Aum. The proper pronunciation of that is actually Aum, The Aum sound. Aum. And it goes out through the top. So we focus our attention on the base. When we sit on the floor, As some of you are, You are actually sitting on the base chakra, The foundation. So you start the sound of that Aum, Visualising that from that centre. And you are Aum. We use a drone, Which is the basis for all of our music. So basically, If you know music, It's the bass note, Which is a B. I'm going to use that one because it's the one that we can all sort of sing on. This is just for the Aum. And so it's the first note and the fifth note. So it's a B and an F sharp, Which gives us the first and the fifth. So it kind of helps us to keep in tune. Not only in tune, But it's also, When you listen to it, It has a sort of a, Quite a soothing sort of effect. And I find it puts you in the flow, You know, Get ready to sing. And so all of our mantras and the ragas that we play are always underpinned by this drone, Which is normally played by an instrument called a tambura. But I use a sort of an artificial iPad instrument, Which has a wonderful app, Which gives the sound. So that's what we use underneath all our chants.
