Yoga is the union of our physical, mental and spiritual selves. Yoga encourages us to focus our minds and become more aware of the internal flow of energy. It is said that the holistic doctrines of yoga are the result of thousands of years of experimentation and observation by great sages, enlightened gurus and ordinary people.
OM means oneness with the Supreme, the merging with the physical being with the spiritual. The Om (or Aum) sign for the Hindus & Buddhists is the primordial sound, the first breath of creation, the vibration that ensures existence. OM is the mantra used during yoga and meditation in the quest to obtain enlightenment, self realization, and union with the individual self and the universal self. True Blissfulness can be obtained through enlightenment.
Simply stated first, OM is chanted during meditation to relax, clear the mind, and experience absolute nothingness. The nothingness brings one to a level of consciousness which allows one to tap into one's internal and external energies. As a result, the skill of successfully reaching a metaphysical state of being allows for one to reach a level of controlled calmness. This is helpful in dealing with the challenges one faces in daily life.
30Something are plagued with stress from increasing responsibilities and demands. Yoga is a very helpful tool in managing and maintaining balance in ones life. OMMMM.
