Let\u2019s get this straight right up front. \u2018Om\u2019 chanting is not religious. It may be practiced by Hindus, and even co-opted in yoga classes all over the U.S. and Europe, but every single religion in the world has its own version of Om chanting, which I\u2019ll detail more completely in a moment.<\/p>\n

The chanting of \u2018Om,\u2019 or more specifically, Au, Oh, and Mmm is a scientifically-backed system of becoming more in touch with the infinite creative energy of the Universe. This isn\u2019t a metaphoric energy, but a real, grab-a-hold-of-it-and-look-it-in-the-eyes energy which is absolutely alive and pulsating through everything<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"om<\/p>\n

Om is really a transliteral way of writing and speaking \u2018Aum\u2019, as in Amen from the Christian bible. ‘Aum’ was also absorbed into the Buddhist tradition; however, Buddhists almost never transliterate the mantra as \u2018Aum,\u2019 but use \u2018Om\u2019 instead. Ek Onkar<\/em> (another variation of Aum) is the root basis of all Sikh sacred thought, as well. You can additionally see Aum in the Jain tradition<\/a>, and in the Hebrew<\/a> \u0101m\u0113n<\/em>, which means \u201ccertainty,\u201d<\/em> \u201ctruth,\u201d<\/em> and \u201cverily.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Om or Aum also shows up in ancient Egyptian mythology. Amen, or amun, was a deity<\/a> represented by a ram, the god of life and reproduction, and those in scientific circles call Aum the God Particle or Higgs Boson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It should be interesting for anyone to note, even more so for linguists, that the combination of Aaa, Ohh, and Mmm signifies the entire possible combinations of syllables, denoting the total, uncut range of words that can be uttered.<\/p>
