OM is Sanskrit letter or a symbol (for the "sacred" Hindu) sound om (aum) called "the mother of all mantras. Apparently, the four parts symbolize four stages of consciousness: Awake, sleeping, dreaming, and a trance or transcendental state. It is supposed to have all the vibrations of the universe.
People Say, several and repeated experiments in its vibrations have conclusively proved its curative, sedative and healing effects. Psychologically, the incessant mental repetition of this creative Word, results in the wholesome and personality-integrating physiological effect of a deep track made in the brain, effectuates a sublimation of the conational substance, a transmutation of mind"s crude energies, and, in consequence, exerts an awakening and formative impact upon the inner life.
Can speaking of Om, or any other sound based vibrations for that matter, actaully cure diseases?
I don't think that the word or words themselves can cure diseases, but the peace that it provides just may improve the immune system, which can then be able to heal itself.
Ummm...To be quick, Om is a word that absorbs all the sound frequencies. This is a fact but i don't know whether it affects your health.
Ah, but ...
The proper way of reciting Om is to take a deep breath, say ooooo.....
releasing your breath slowly. then come to the mmmmm portion. that should be extended to a longer duration.
they say that this is the best way to take up oxygen. this cleanses your blood, improves breathing, reinforces digestion and empowers immunity.
so...
however, i have never read any scientific evidence on Om's curative properties, its rather preventive in nature...get that ....eh
