Yogis often start and close a class with chanting Om or Aum.Om is the “primordial seed” of the universe, the basic sound of the universe.
By chanting Om it is like we are symbolically and physically tuning in to that sound and acknowledging our connection to ourselves and all other living beings, nature and the universe.By contemplating the meaning of each of these letters as we chant A-U-M, we are led through three states; the waking state with the “ah”, the dreaming state with the “ooh” and finally the dreamless state of deep sleep and experience of ultimate unity with the sound “m”.By chanting OM you feel the vibration and find your inner connection as the one with your self, the surrounding and your environment. Everything in the universe is pulsating and vibrating! And that is interesting to know that the sound Om, when chanted, vibrates at the frequency of 432 Hz, which is the same vibration frequency found throughout everything in nature.
