A sensation of vibration is experienced during audible ‘OM’ chanting. This has the potential for vagus nerve stimulation through its auricular branches and the effects on the brain thereof. The neurohemodynamic correlates of ‘OM’ chanting are yet to be explored.

Om or Aum is the most powerful mantra. It’s not just the sound, but the vibrations that impact the mind, body and soul, making way for a happy, blissful and calm state. Om is an ancient, sacred word from the eastern spiritual traditions of Yoga, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Only at higher frequencies can we learn to let go of desires and be happy with nature. In today’s materialistic world, it is so easy to get caught up in stress, fear, anxiety, worry, etc.

Om is the highest positive vibration. It is a universal syllable, and it is cosmic energy. According to Vedas, and the Big Bang theory - the whole universe was created by the sound Om (aum). Chanting Om raises the vibrations of an individual, not just in body but in the overall consciousness of one's soul and mind. Chanting Om allows you to align with the whole.

What research says about Om chanting
Several studies have deep-dived into the physical and mental health benefits of chanting Om. Some studies are offering insights into how the mantra benefits the mind and body. One such study, published in the International Journal of Yoga Therapy, looked at how Om chanting might be connected to the vagus nerve. This offers insight into how chanting can retune the nervous system by activating the vagus nerve and balancing the parasympathetic nervous system. During Om chanting the vibration felt in the head and ears can be linked to the vagus nerve which has auricular (ear) branches. Therefore, this study hypothesized that chanting Om might stimulate the vagus nerve, producing a similar deactivation of the limbic system. This is an important factor as low vagal tone is associated with a weak ability to deal with stress, poor digestion, elevated heart rate, and unstable moods. Stimulating the vagus nerve is good for our whole system. The National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology published a study that found five minutes of Om chanting resulted in “highly significant” reduction in blood pressure and pulse rate in participants with hypertension. It was concluded that chanting Om can be a supportive therapy for hypertension patients. Regular chanting helps you stay healthy - mentally, emotionally, physiologically and psychologically. It improves your inclination towards spirituality, making you a more positive, optimistic and calm person. The practice is unlike any other meditation practice. It is transformative in a fascinating and powerful way. You can chant the mantra silently or aloud. You can also chant on your own, or with a group. In fact, when you chant with a group the vibrations produced are outstanding and unbelievable. The soothing and mesmerizing effect will immediately make you feel relaxed and calm.
