Feel the vibe when you chant Om. Here are its secret benefits

There is a mantra that is commonly used at the start and end of a yoga or meditation session. Can you guess its name? Yes, it’s Om. Though chanting Om may appear to be a small word, this mantra is believed to have high spiritual and creative power. In fact, according to the Hindu culture, it is called the first sound of the universe, and therefore believed to be the most important and powerful sound in the universe.

This is a great practice that energises the body and mind at the same time. When chanted correctly, it fills the body with a lot of positivity, calmness, and energy. Yoga expert Grand Master Akshar says, “Chanting of Om can be considered as a practice of the collective consciousness. Chanting Om daily has the ability to raise your vibration and increase your frequency and energies.” 

He adds, “Chanting of Om brings you closer to the source (or God). This connection between you and the source stimulates a chemical within you that causes bliss and happiness.”

This powerful mantra has some amazing benefits and protects us from all negative energies and thoughts. In fact, a recent study proves that listening to the chants of Om at 432 Hz frequency can prove to be extremely beneficial for your mental and physical well being.

Here are innumerable benefits to the chanting of Om, according to the Grand Master Akshar
