'Om' Meditation...

'Om' is the root mantra which is found in a majority of mantras. Om is the humming sound of existence. Om represents the whole universe. Om can be pronounced as AUM. In Hinduism Om is the sound of the Supreme consciousness and when Om is repeatedly chanted it creates Godly presence. Repetition of Om dissolves in mind in its divine source. Chanting of Om purifies the atmosphere and self and makes the mind still and leads to self realisation and experience inner peace.
Sun rise and sunset are the best time to chant Om. Sit comfortably with hands on the knees in prana mudra. Prana mudra is done by joining the tips of the thumb, ring and middle fingers. Meditate for 10 to 15 minutes chanting Om. If you need set a timer to remind you about the time. Take some deep breaths to get ready. Close your eyes. Think about the significance of Om. Breathe normally and feel relaxed. Breath in slowly. Pronounce Om in a slow rhythmic way while breathing out. Allow the vibrations of the sound Om rise from your navel to ring at your nostrils. The length of each chanting should match your normal and natural breathe out. Give equal measure to each sound 'Oooommmm' rather than 'Ommm' or 'Oooom'. Chanting Om cleanses your 'Aura' and offers self healing power. It helps to feel peace, bliss and happiness embracing the whole body, mind and soul.
