Mantra Om

The mantra Om (also written as Aum) has a purifying effect and helps our consciousness to shift to the higher level. 

Why is it important to purify our soul? The human body and the mind are capable of projecting and receiving messages like electronic devices just like a wireless radio that captures signals. We can actually feel if the person sitting next to us is happy or angry or depressed. How does that happen? It is because we can pick up emotions from others. A happy and jolly person can make us happy. A gloomy person can make us sad. So imagine the number of people that we come across throughout the day. How many different sorts of good and bad emotions you may pick up the entire day? This explains why the great yogis stay away from populated area. This could be explained in a better way. When we mediate, we can notice a lot of thoughts and emotions coming to our mind. All these emotions or thoughts are not necessarily ours. We pick them up from the people surrounding us. 

Purification

By chanting the Om mantra or Aum, we can actually purify our incarnated soul. It is important we purify our incarnated soul so that we can achieve union with the higher soul. If someone is suffering from psychological pain or some other problems, chanting the mantra Om over a period of time might be very helpful. 
The Universal Existence of the Mantra Om
Om mantra is not only a Hindu or Indian mantra. If we look around the world we can find its existence in different cultures and religions. In Christianity God is described as- Omnipotent, which means that God is all powerful; Omnipresent, which means God is present everywhere; Omniscient, which means God is all knowing. If we look at all these words that describe God we will see all the words start with “OM”. It is interesting to notice that in the Kabbalah and in the book of Zohar one of the 72 names of God is “Aleph Vav Mem” where Aleph starts for A, Vav stands for U and Mem stands for M. Therefore, another name of God by the Cabbalists is also Aum. All Judaism, Islam and Christian prayers end with the Amen. The word Amen is also a simplified version of the mantra Aum.

The inner meaning of the word Amen is “In the name of God, so be it.” 

We can understand how potent or powerful the Om mantra is with a simple experiment. We need to chant the mantra Om 12 times slowly and with concentration. We may also chant Amen. Once we have finished, we will notice that all our anger and hatred is melting away. We would not feel like criticizing other people or will not feel like hurting anyone at that moment. Overall, we will feel a certain peace in our mind. In Twin Heart Meditation, we use the mantra Om to shift our consciousness to a higher level or to move closer to our higher soul.

Spiritual Health is the Key to Wholesomeness

Spiritual Health is the Key to Wholesomeness When we think of health, we tend to think of a state where there is no illness in the body. However, that view is quite one-sided as health is not merely the absence of disease. Being healthy requires more than that; it requires the entire body to function harmoniously and pre-supposes certain wholesomeness. Early to bed and early to rise, might not be enough to make one healthy, wealthy and wise after all! Holistic wellness is attained only when one has spiritual health as well.  Just as our physical body needs food and care, our spiritual body cannot be neglected. The spiritual practices of meditation, purification and character building keep our spiritual body healthy. While the right food and the right exercise benefits our tangible form, our energy body needs spiritual energy to thrive.  When we think of health, we tend to think of a state where there is no illness in the body.

Four Techniques to Survive Your day

“FOUR TECHNIQUES TO SURVIVE YOUR DAY” As we well know, modern life is getting ever more packed with work, family, social responsibilities, and more.  One hundred years ago, single-tasking was probably all there was.  We didn’t have a phone ringing just as we were changing lanes on a busy highway or work message alerts going off at home while squeezing shoes on our kids. Working too much and being busy morning till night can take a toll on multiple levels and even amount to a serious health condition down the line.  We say we should therefore re-organize our schedules and decline commitments or additional responsibilities to stay healthy.  We may even go for a career change or move to a town with a slower pace of life. But what if we could accomplish all we are currently committed to–or more–with a genuine smile on our faces and plenty of energy till 10:00 at night? Some of us can’t change our jobs or schedules–or we love what we are doing and don’t wan...
