When it comes to mantras, OM is likely the first you learned in yoga. The sacred sound of OM is said to begin all creation and end all creation in destruction. Not negative destruction. But the kind of destruction which relieves and releases that which doesn’t serve us.
When we chant OM our abdomen vibrates to create the energy of fulfillment, joy, and relief. Eastern religions believe OM attunes us with our true nature and higher reality.
Whatever space you’re in now, take a moment and gently chant or whisper OM. Feel the vibration in your abdomen and on the back of your throat. The exertion of breath is a creative force as you exhale and literally create sound.
Notice how your mood shifts after 15 consecutive chants of OM. Close your eyes and tune into the feeling that OM creates within your body.
Just like OM mantras, we believe yoga is for everyone. One of the reasons we started Spiritive Yoga was to build a community where everyone can feel welcome. Our Spiritive Yoga family is fully inclusive and it's in that spirit that we made our Yoga Smokers Tee.
We welcome all individuals to practice yoga with us, including you!
One last gift to start the week
When we're not "OMing" on our mats, we're always on the hunt for awesome music to groove to. We have always felt a strong calling to music with deep sounds and smooth melodies that bring our imaginations back to ancient times.
Here is a set by Sabo we are especially digging right now.
