THE OM SYMBOL
‘Om’, ‘Ohm’ or ‘Aum’ is a sacred sound depicting the sound of the universe and connects everyone and everything
The past, present and future are all blended in this one all-inclusive sound. When chanted, Om or Aum frees the consciousness to remember its natural state of connection to infinite source energy or Creation. By using this image, the concept of infinite love and creation is conveyed beyond the limitation of words or ideas.
The Om sound is all encompassing and unifies everything in the universe. The vibrations that the Om sound creates have the effect of energizing the body. The Om sound is a short, 'seed' mantra, which is chanted to connect with and energize the chakras. The Om symbol represents the sound in a visual form and has a lot of meaning behind it. Om is one of the most important spiritual symbols and is found throughout many ancient texts, prayers and ceremonies.
Elements of the Om/Aum Symbol - The Om symbol is composed of curves, a crescent and a dot. The meaning of the Om/Aum symbol, while purely looking at its visual form, comes from the states of consciousness that Aum represents. The letter 'A' represents the waking state, 'U' represents the dream state and 'M' is the unconscious state, or state of deep sleep.
In the symbol, the waking state is represented by the bottom curve, the dream state is the middle curve and the state of deep sleep is represented with the upper curve. The crescent shape above the curves denotes Illusion, which is the obstacle in the way of reaching the highest state of bliss. The dot at the top of the symbol represents the absolute state, which is the fourth state of consciousness and is absolute peace and bliss.
