There are many articles written about OM. If you want to discover anything else about the sound or the symbol, feel free to go straight to Google and investigate! What I want to do is give you a way to use the sound or the image to help you keep your energy system up and running and, to be perfectly honest, squeaky clean!
Symbols have their own resonant frequency. That is to say they have a vibration which is unique to them and you can use it to clear your aura and your chakras whenever you want.
If you want to draw OM: find an image on Google and start with the part that looks suspiciously like the number 3, add the bit at the right hand side of it. Then move to the two small pieces above it.
Then what do you do? First you hold the intention that you want the energy of the symbol (or the sound) to clear the place where you draw or visualise it or send your sound.
- You can draw or visualise the symbol in your aura to clean it. One symbol will do. You don’t have to draw one in each of the seven layers, though, if you feel you need to do this, go right ahead and do it. You will always know best!
- You can draw or visualise the symbol in each chakra – and don’t forget to do the back vortex as well as the one in the front from the brow to the sacral. Or if you are just working with a single blocked chakra – just do that one rather than all seven. This is a very user friendly symbol!
- The above will also work in each individual subtle body as well just by changing your intention.
- You can draw or visualise the symbol in the crown chakra and intend that with each in breath, you draw its powerful and unique vibration down into the central channel (the tube of energy that surrounds the spine and links the crown chakra to the base chakra) and on the out breath imagine pushing it out through the chakras.
You can do any of the exercises shown above using the sound of OM.
All you have to do is set the intention that you want the sound you make to go to the places you want to cleanse i.e. aura or chakras and start chanting.
With the crown chakra exercise, you set the intention that you want to fill your crown chakra with the sound of OM, so it can flow into the central channel and out through the chakras. Then just start chanting again! Or, if you are self-conscious about making sound or find OM difficult to chant… find a CD with the sound on (or go to youtube and find someone who is chanting it) and using your in breath, draw the vibration in to the place you want to cleanse. The frequency is the same whether it is you chanting it or someone else! It is your intention that does the work!
As always, the only thing that limits what you can do with the symbol or the sound is what you think you can do with it. Start imagining fabulous ways to use it right away. It is powerful and it will always be beneficial when you use it, whatever you decide to do with it. And, remember, although I find that these exercises are particularly helpful, you might well discover that something else entirely works for you. If it does… just GO FOR IT!
One last thing – you can combine the sound OM with many other sounds. The one I like the best is shanti (pronounced shan – tee). It means peace. It works this way at its most simple and fundamental level… OM is the sound of creation. Shanti means peace… so what do you think you create if you combine these two sounds?
It is a lovely sound to use to relax. You create a truly beautiful and peaceful space and, as a bonus, the OM will also clean all the low vibrational energy stuck in your energy system out as well. It’s what I consider a win-win situation.
You can either chant:
OM shanti, shanti, shanti.
Or
OM shanti OM
Try using one of the chants at your crown chakra and breathing it down that central channel and out into the chakras. I guarantee you’ll love having that energy in your system!
Have fun with this!
Bright Blessings!
