Aum and Sat Nam Mantras


Aloha Everyone,
AUM (or OM) is a mantra, or vibration, that is traditionally chanted at the beginning and end of yoga practice.   Aum (or OM) is believed to be the basic sound of the world, the sound of the universe.  As we chant Aum, through our breath, our awareness, and our physical energy, we begin to sense and feel a stronger connection to the universe.
SAT NAM is the Seed Mantra or Bij Mantra and also one of the widely used as a Kriya in the Kundalini Yoga practice. Sat means the Truth; Nam means to call upon, name or identify with.  Sat Nam means Truth is my identity and I call upon the eternal Truth that resides in all of us.  Chanting this mantra awakens the Soul.
Namaste — Cathi
