I often get complements and questions about my purse and the symbol on it, so I decided to share a lovely brief explanation of the beautiful symbol "Om".
“OM” – The Sacred Sound
Sounding the tone of “OM” creates a vibrational frequency of
harmony in the body. The sound of the
“OM” is the sound of creation and symbolizes the infinite. It connects our
inner world to the greater outer and beyond, it aligns our energy and creates a
feeling of openness and expansion. Traditionally spelled O-M, it is pronounced
or toned A-U-M. Allowing the sound of each syllable to vibrate within. This can
be done consciously feeling the “A” sound in the heart, The “U” sound in the
abdomen and the “M” sound in the head. Any way you do it –
The experience is connection,
unity and love.
“The ever present OM, is the pulse of the universe and the source
of our whole being.”
The meaning of the symbol “OM”
The symbol represents states of
consciousness
1 – This
curve represents the waking state.2 – This curve represents deep sleep or the unconscious.
3 – This curve represents the dream state (which lies between waking and deep sleep)
4- The dot represents the absolute state of consciousness which illuminates all other states of consciousness.
5 –The semicircle represents maya (or the veil of illusion) it separates
the absolute from the other three curves. *
The sound of life. Emitting the aaaaaauuuuuummmm sound from the vocal
chords, is mimicking the harmonic tone of all creation.
The song of creation is nestled in the
sound of "om" actually, there are three sacred vocalizations
"ah" "uh" and "hmmm" - each slight nuance is made
through the movement of the mouth & the focus of high intent.
This three-part verbal expression of the om is symbolic
of so much. The advent and culmination of triangular principles like:
- dawn, afternoon, dusk
- creation, sustaining, destruction
- conscious, unconscious, subconscious
