The Sacred Sound of the Universe
Sound, from the calming melody of a lullaby to the rhythmic beating of a drum contains powerful forces, but the most impactful noise is the sound of the universe: om or aum. This vibration is said to be the essence of god in many religions as well as the primal hum of nature. By connecting to the om vibration, we can regain balance and heal the mind and body.
Origins of Om
Referred to in the ancient Hindu Veda scriptures in Sanskrit, the scared sound of om exists everywhere, is everything, and connects everyone to the source of creation. It can also be thought in scientific terms as the sound of the big bang and the sudden explosion that led to the beginning of consciousness. In Christianity, the scared sound of om is mentioned in the bible as the word of god: “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God … and the Word was made flesh.”
The origins of om, no matter which religion or scripture is followed, describes the combination of sounds that, when in harmony and unison, mimics the voice of god, nature, or divine (which ever you would like to call it).
