Hello Steemians!

AOUM - Mantra

In this 2nd installment of my series about Nada-Yoga we learn one version of OM, one of the sounds you probably have heard about and in 10 minutes you will be able to make and feel it.

Description

With this technique of AOUM we use two kinds of sound: inner and outer, one you can not hear and one you can hear. In the old Vedas it is described as "Original sound of creation", rooting back 3000 or more years.

Let's get started:

First we start with an open "A" and slowly closing the mouth moving to "M".

AAAAAAH........mmmmm
Listen to the changes of sound, as in the last post we have first the air through the mouth and by aproaching the "M" it changes to the nose.

Take a tone of your choice and feel comfortable.

Then we concentrate on vocals: "A" "O"-ffen "O"-fen "U" mmmmmm, there are 5 overtones you may hear after playing a little bit around.

That is the basic technique, after a few times you should be fit for the next step.

Performance

Starting with a normal loud sound, every performance of AOUM gets quieter.
Finally, lets say after 5 audible ones silence occurs.
The last one you do without sound, just moving your mouth and imagine the vocals.
Listen in from the loud sounds, to the whispers and imaginary sounds deeper and deeper into the body.
Then silence and trace a few minutes.
