Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord Om is a composite of three sounds: A (aa) arising from the region of the navel, U (oo) flowing through the throat and tongue, and M (mm) ending up at the closed lip. It has to be pronounced rising in a crescendo as slowly as possible, and as slowly coming down, until after them there will be the echo of the silence reverberating in the cavity of the heart. Do not take it in two stages, arguing that your breath will not hold so long. Persevere, until you are able to be stirred by the upward sweep and the downward curve and the silent sequel. These represent the waking, dreaming and sleeping, and the fourth, beyond the three stages. It represents also the flower of one's individuality growing into a fruit and filling itself with sweet juice out of its inner essence, and then the final release from the tree.
