Why Om Chanting Calms the Mind

Om is the primordial vibration of the universe. When chanted, it stimulates the vagus nerve, slowing the heart rate and calming the nervous system. The three syllables — A, U, M — represent creation, preservation, and dissolution. Chanting Om for just 5 minutes grounds you like hours of meditation. It aligns your breath, steadies your thoughts, and connects you to something greater. Start your practice with three deep Om chants each morning.
