Benefits of Chanting Om Mantra:
There are 3 letters that can be uttered without using our organ tongue and they are A, U and M. The mantra “OM” comprises these 3 letters and it is known as universal sound and these 3 are the basic of all other sounds. It is the seed of vibrations of the universe and the source of our universal life energy “Prana”. Chanting of Om mantra is not a religious practice and has nothing to do with religion.
Wherever human beings become silent by his own nature the sound “AUM” (“Om”) will reverberate in the mental system. It is the root sound of our existence. When “AUM” (“Om”) reverberates it starts from just beneath the navel and ends at the tip of our nose. This reverberation will happen by itself. So wherever a human being truly sat quietly at a quietness with himself always aware of the sound “Om”. This reverberation will just happen by itself. When we transmit this sound it gets distorted over a period of time according to cultural and language influences.
There are two types of benefits namely mental health and physical health.
Benefits of mental health:
1. It deactivates the stress centres in our nervous system, especially the brain nervous system. Human beings are faced with a lot of stress, strain, anxiety and depression. This causes our nervous system to be vulnerable to negative energy absorption resulting in abnormal behaviours. Our nervous system consists of a sympathetic nervous system and a para synthetic nervous system. The surge in the sympathetic nervous system causes the rise in the rate of breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. The para synthetic nervous system tells us to relax and cool and handle the situations smoothly. We are instinctively wired to have a sympathetic nervous system and it is our default setting. This results in severe mental and health problems. Chanting of “AUM” (“Om”) deactivates the sympathetic nervous system.
2. The para synthetic nervous system which is not the default settings is the source of our stress buster. Chanting of “AUM” (“Om”) activates and strengthens the parasympathetic nervous system. It removes the negative energy accumulated in the cells clusters will help you improve your immune system and self-healing power. With a cool and calm mind the gravity of the problems are got reduced.
