Keep Calm and Chant OM as part of your practice
Om is a mantra that is traditionally chanted at the beginning and end of yoga sessions. Also originating in India, the mantra is considered to have high spiritual and creative power however it can be recited by anyone. Everything in the universe is pulsating and vibrating. The sound OM or AUM when chanted vibrates at the frequencies of 432Hz which is the same frequency found throughout everything in nature. As such OM is the basic sound of the universe and by chanting it we are tuning in to that sound and acknowledging our connection to all other living beings, nature and the universe.
In addition, the vibration can also have a positive physical effect on the body by slowing down the nervous system and calming the mind. When the mind is relaxed your blood pressure decreases and ultimately your health improves. Finally, it is also a way to delineate the time of your yoga practice from the rest of the day and signify that this is a special time to care for yourself and your wellbeing.
