When you enter into a silent state of being. Your ear-drum's resting vibration is the Onkar. Not only does Onkar exist in the form of primal human speech and noise-making, and not only does it stimulate your nervous system in an extra-ordinary way but it also exists as the background naad, meaning sound vibration, in your ears. Start with that, you can further attune your attention and focus to the point where you can see your whole body vibrate upon one chant of Onkar. I believe this type of nervous stimulation is actually great for the health of your organs, as it increases the circulation of blood to these organsl. ![]() And through this resonation, you can stimulate the nerves in your entire body, including your vital organs, around your cardiovascular system, digestive system, etc. It stimulates the nerves in your belly, chest and nose. When you open your mouth wide and make this noise it will stimulate your nervous system around your vital organs.ĪUM resonates and stimulates your nerves in the torso. Chanting Onkar, causes these areas to vibrate as the air is forced out of the lungs through the vibration of the vocal chords. "Chakras" might sound like woo-woo nonsense but it basically means your "nervous system" in your belly, chest and nose. Onkar is designed to cause your Chakras to activate Thus AUM is meant to resonate in your entire torso and make it come to life. 'A' typically resonates in your chest and nasal M resonates in nasal cavity, nose. The 'O' sound resonate more in your belly. As long as their vocal chords are functional, they will be able to say A, U, and make nasal sounds. I believe AUM can even be made by those who lack the ability to speak. ![]() Certain sounds are very hard as they require very precise and sharp speech like this Sanskrit letter - ष, which shows up in Gurbani as ਖ or ਸ/ਸ਼ in words like ਪੁਰਖ, ਮੋਖ and ਵਿਸੇਖ, and ਦੋਸ, because it is complex and noticeably harder to pronounce.īut back to Onkar - AUM is such a sound that is most basic and most primitive and most primal. they require more complicated vocalization, movement of lips and positioning of tongue. This is the beginning of speech.Īll other sounds are more complicated like B, P, K,G, J, Y, V etc. Thus ਆ ਉ ਮੰ are considered the most primal sounds known to man. This is the most primal sound to you because it can be made prior to any movement of lips and tongue. ![]() Look in a mirror to make sure no movement occurs in those areas. Try it, pull back your lips and hold your tongue in place and try to make different sounds with your mouth. When you do not use your lips or tongue there are three sounds you can make with your mouth. Now why is that? There are several reasons for this. Thus ਓਂ is the most primal sound vibration. ਆਕਾਰ ਉਕਾਰ ਮੰਕਾਰ meaning continuous A ਆ, continuous U ਉ, continuous M ਮੰĪ U M ਆ ਉ ਮੰ -These are the three sounds that go into making ਓਂ. ਓਂ AUM is then split into its three components. ਓ isn't pronounced as O, with rounded, squished lips, rather it is pronounced as AU (AO) with mouth wide open and relaxed, as if you are gasping for air. something you do, something you perform, rather than something you spell out. ਓਅੰਕਾਰ is Onkar, two syllables not three. People write ਓਅੰਕਾਰ as Oankar however, the ਅ in ਓਅੰਕਾਰ just a placeholder for the tippi.īut since one never puts a bindi or tippi on ਓ, they never wrote ਓਂ. This is a modern distortion of the word and symbol. ![]() No time for intro, let's dive deep into it.īefore I get into the meat of the issue, I want to get one thing off my chest because I see a lot of people making this mistake.
