OM (AUM) - The Mystical Power of the Universal Sound | Tapas Yoga HK
Author -
When you enter the world of yoga, "OM" is perhaps one of the most commonly heard Sanskrit sounds. In many yoga classes, teachers and students chant this ancient syllable together at the beginning and end. But OM is more than just a syllable - it contains deep universal meaning and mystical power.
The Meaning of OM
OM (or AUM) is considered the primordial sound of the universe, symbolizing both beginning and end. In Indian philosophy, OM is the sound of universal creation, the vibration that exists in all living and non-living things. It represents three states: Creation (A), Maintenance (U), and Transformation or Liberation (M). The final silence represents the absolute reality beyond the material world.
Benefits of Chanting OM
Chanting OM is believed to have healing and balancing effects on body, mind, and spirit. It can help clear thoughts, calm emotions, and enhance concentration and consciousness awakening. Through the vibration of OM, you can strengthen throat and thyroid function, promote energy flow, and achieve harmony of body and spirit.
Ways to Practice OM
In yoga practice, OM is typically chanted three times at the beginning and end. When chanting OM, allow yourself to completely immerse in the vibration of this syllable, feeling its resonance in your body and its soothing effect on your mind. With each breath, you can go deeper into the layers of this sound, gradually entering a deeper meditative state.
Summary
OM is not just an element of yoga - it is a bridge connecting us to the invisible forces of the universe. Whether you are a yoga beginner or an experienced practitioner, chanting OM can help you open the door to inner wisdom and experience the power of universal resonance. Next time you are on your yoga mat, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and follow the vibration of OM to synchronize yourself with the rhythm of the universe.
