Chanting Om / Aum to Clear Your Head

When thoughts get a little too intrusive or it seems impossible to clear your head, sometimes simply making some noise can drown out the events going on in your mind. For this follow-along meditation, we'll be chanting Om for a few minutes. If you'd like to continue after the podcast is over, I highly encourage it! 

The chanting portion begins at 4:25. The segment beforehand is an introduction and time to settle in. 

Om (Aum) is a combination of three sounds, made without the tongue in use:

"Ah" - with the mouth fully open. This sound vibrates the chakras lower in your body.  "Ooo" - with the mouth partially open. This sound travels higher up the body, up toward the throat. "Mm" - with the mouth fully closed. This sound reaches all the way up to the crown chakra!

These three sounds (and the silence between them) are the basic sounds of the universe. They combine together, are mixed up with the tongue, and come out as the words and sentences and speech we use. By chanting them, we resonate with them, and the sounds to unlock stuck points in the body and spirit.
