ॐ "AUM"(OM) Chanting
Our external being is always in a state of turmoil this is either with the emotions, thoughts or judgements that we hardly have time to sit and look inside. Journey is only external . By chanting "AUM"(also written as "OM"), a scared syllable, universal sound ,we are trying to withdraw from external to internal and from internal to deep within so "AUM" is all pervading higher self.
Our internal being is pure, satvic and stainless with full of love and happiness, it is not corrupted. It is we who are creating all problems. By chanting AUM we are connecting with that blissful self.
When you divide the syllable "AUM",
A is our jagruti state. U is dream state. M is our deep sleep state. Jagruti state is what we see and what we perceive through our senses.We feel that it is a happy state but this is not happy state. U is a dream state. It is also not a happy state also because whatever you are doing in jagruti state same thing you are doing in dream state . The state which is required is Deep sleep state that is M so whenever you chant M you prolong M.
So whenever you chant "AUM", the letter A and U should be only ten percent and Letter M should be Ninety percent. The moment you long chant M you are creating that kind of environment within yourself and you are trying to connect with your inner self your own blissful self.
Our journey is to go towards blissful state inside. The abundance, happiness, true joy and that’s here inside. Also between two Aum chantings, their should be some silence because silence again creates that kind of environment which takes our brain to Delta waves and gradually followed by Gamma waves. Chanting of AUM creates gamma waves. Gamma waves are supposed to be the fastest brain waves and the mind is focussed , concentrated and absorbing AUM (particular Vritti). One thought one Vritti that is "AUM" .Chanting of AUM going from Gross to Subtle to subtlest which takes you in meditative state.
let's chant "AUM" with this thing in our mind that we want to connect with our peaceful self inside. So Simply breathe in and chant the universal sound "AUM" where M is prolonged. Try practicing it like this next time!
Much Gratitude!!!!!
