There is a sound older than time, deeper than thought, and more healing than any medicine. That sound… is OM.

OM is not just a syllable or a chant — it’s the vibration of existence itself. It moves like a symphony in waves, much like the distant hum of an airplane soaring overhead — subtle, powerful, and felt more than heard.

The Frequency of the Universe

OM vibrates at 432 Hz, a frequency many refer to as the healing sound — the natural rhythm of the universe. What’s incredible is that our own bodies resonate at a similar frequency. But we often can’t hear it — because the noise in our heads drowns it out.

When we quiet the mind, soften the ego, and tune inwards…
We don’t just hear OM.
We become OM.

It is a powerful reminder that we’re not separate from the universe —
We are the universe experiencing itself in human form.

Why We Begin and End with OM

In many spiritual traditions, we chant OM at the beginning and end of prayers, meditations, or rituals. Why?

Because OM aligns us with the rhythm of creation.
It’s a reset button — a vibrational bridge between our everyday mind and our eternal self.

We chant OM three times, to honor and activate the three energies within us:

• The masculine (action, structure, logic)

• The feminine (intuition, flow, creativity)

• The spiritual (our higher self, the observer, the soul)

These are not genders — they are universal principles that live within every being.

The Magic of Sacred Numbers

Why chant OM 3, 9, or 108 times?

These numbers are sacred.
Even the frequency of OM — 4 + 3 + 2 — adds up to 9.
Nine represents completion, wholeness, and universal truth.

108 is an ancient number used in mantras, malas, and yogic practices.
There are 108 energy lines (nadis) that converge at the heart chakra.
When we chant OM 108 times, we’re aligning with the energy grid of the cosmos.

OM Shanti Shanti Shanti

After the final OM, we chant Shanti three times.

Why?

To call in peace on every level:

• Peace in the body

• Peace in the mind

• Peace in the spirit

It is our offering to the universe —
A closing prayer of gratitude, harmony, and alignment.

OM Is a Reminder

OM reminds us that we’re not lost, broken, or separate.
It reminds us that deep within the stillness of our being, the entire universe lives.

So the next time you chant OM…
Don’t just say it.
Feel it.
Let it rise from your belly, expand through your chest, and dissolve into silence.
Because in that silence, you’ll hear the whisper:

You are not just in the universe.
You are the universe.

OM Shanti Shanti Shanti
May you vibrate with truth, peace, and love —
In every breath, in every OM, in every step.

With cosmic mischief and universal reverence,
