Starting in February, the natural health practitioners get their OM on at Diversified Health Clinic. They are showcasing the benefits of meditation during weekly evening drop in classes.

Meditation is designed to bring our mind to a peaceful state.  If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort and so will experience true happiness and relaxation. One component of meditation is using a mantra.

The sound OM is considered to be the mantra of all mantras.  This is the primeval sound from which all other sounds emerged. The sound OM can also be used during a yoga session.

Can chanting OM help in our daily lives?

The answer is yes, and here are some of the  physical and mental benefits to practicing your mantra.

Your body will experience a calming effect caused by  the regulated, slowed-down of your breathing.

It will help attain the first stage of meditation by drawing your attention from the outside world into looking inward.

The chanting of OM is a pleasant, harmonic sound massage for the chest, belly, spine, and head which helps to improve organ function, concentration and other brain functions.

The end result is a feeling of well-being, peace, and harmony

The OM when sung sounds like A-O-U-M.

Starting February 6th and continuing until March 12th please drop in and join the natural health practitioners get their OM on at Diversified Health Clinic.
