Sacred OM & the Power of Sound
In Sanskrit, OM is known as the Atman, or the life principle of the universe and our soul. The sound references the merging of the physical with the spiritual... An 'accidental' sound healing.
An ‘Accidental’ Sound Healing
Often, my toddler grandson will bring me a book from my library, and I have learnt to allow him to open to the relevant page. Yesterday, he brought me the gift of sound healing.
As wounded healers, we have often been prevented from speaking our truth. Repairing the throat chakra is regular work and occurs in layers to clear the residue (karmic energy) of dead light bodies held at many energetic points. As something I work on, he immediately had my attention!
The power of sound to heal and clear is not coincidental.
We are formed of sound – created from one of three Original Primal Order Sound Fields. Great shifts have occurred through the vibration of sound via the Trans-harmonic Gateways, helping us to realign with who we are. Sound healing occurs as our energy field and chakras respond vibrationally to what soothes energetic discord.
As much as harsh sound can tighten our energy, harmonious sound expands our aura with bliss.
Early in healing I was taught to use the ‘Ahh’ sound. Explained by the late Wayne Dyer, I understand it to be the sound of Source. The resonance of ‘Ahh’ clears and realigns our vibration, whether we are directing it to someone else or using it specifically for ourself.
The information my grandson directed me to was a reminder of this, and expanded my understanding.
OM or AUM
OM is known in Sanskrit as the Atman, or the life principle of the universe and our soul. It references the merging of the physical with the spiritual. For us it is our physical form and the spiritual part that is a fragment of Source. The part of us that comes into the body and the part that returns to Source once we no longer need the physical form.
The spiritual symbol of the Absolute, OM or AUM is a sound comprising of three syllables. It begins with the AHH at the back of your throat, moving to OOO, and finishing with lips together for the MMM. Relax your shoulders, take a deep breath and try it! When you sound, notice the vibration building as your body resonates with the harmonic.
Sound Healing
Sounding using the Sacred OM is a known method for firstly clearing the Throat Chakra. Continued, it then moves to each Chakra, clearing and aligning our vibration and auric field. (This is why Vedic chants regularly begin and end with OM.)
I don’t ignore messages wherever possible, so I meditated with breath while sounding AUM – a link to the audio I used on the free App, Insight Timer to back my sounding is here: The Golden Om
So what happened as I sounded AUM?
Three physical things:
My voice wavered and shook.
I coughed repeatedly,
And I sneezed before coughing some more.
Metaphysically this response makes sense. Our bodies can shake when we are emotionally or physically misaligned and sound exposed to our energy can respond in kind. When I am balancing with sound, whether a bowl or by voice, I look for the true note, unwavering sound, to indicate that balance has been achieved.
Coughing relates to ‘I just want to be myself’ and sneezing offers the message that we are not seeing our true qualities.
By the time the chant ended, all symptoms ceased and I felt great!
Out Loud or Silently?
Repeating the chant OM silently or out loud will bring benefits to your entire energy field. For a powerful healing, sound it! The increased vibration rolling through your body intensifies the ability to resolve discord, release energies you have collected along the way that are not your divine self, and to restore balance.
A Soul Disguised as a Child
A word on our children and grandchildren. They are not ‘ours’, they are unique souls following their divine plan for a physical lifetime. In physical form, they are also much closer to the remembrance of Source as they have had very few worldly experiences to interrupt their knowing. We have much to learn.
Our Energy Matters.
