Chanting opens the mind and heart...

1. Om-m-m - Hum di Hum…
December 8, 2020
Nothing better than to clear the mind and open the heart. Presented
here is a unique meditation combining the ancient sound of silence
from past spiritual practices over the millenniums and modern ‘jingle
chants’. They can be done for as little as a few minutes sitting,
standing, lying down with eyes closed or with eyes open walking in the outdoors. In the East,
all the religions without exception agree on this point, that the sound which is heard in the final,
highest peak of silence is something similar to OM.
Being in the moment, especially invigorating while walking, take a deep, slow breath; and
opening the mouth begin the sound of OM-M-M-M-M-M-M letting the moment come to a
transition of joy, happiness, and positivity with any assortment of jingle chants of your
selection, repeating it for as many times as you want always choosing to do the deep breath of
OM first. (It just might clear all the corona virus talk that is non stop)
When alone, be creative to clear the mind bringing in a sense of feeling better. For example, do
Om-m-m-m-m and moving to ‘hum di dim di dum di dum’, Again, be creative.
For example I came across a tune by the singer Suzanne Vega
that uses another jingle you can add. It’s from these words:
‘’On a patch of sand where the warm wind blows
Not a TV set, not a radio
Just an old guitar when the sun sinks low
Down at the Lah De Dah’’ - Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, Lah di da di
dah di dah di doo. When it feels right do another slow breathing
of Om-m-m-m merging in to something like ‘Ba da ba boom ba
da bing ba da boom etc…… and maybe, boom ba ba boom ba
boom ba boom boom da da boom and maybe dum di di dum
dum dum di di dum….zippity doo dah zippity day - my oh my
what a wonderful day - da bum bum, da bum da bum bum bum, dada bum
dada bum bum da bum - zippity doo dah zippity day, and then another ‘OM -m-m-m
Make it up and be unconventional, letting go of any judgement. Doing this mini meditation will
make for lasting moments of healthy feelings. There are endless ways to meditate leading to
living a more spiritual life while you walk in the blossoms and fragrance of meditation in a state
of awareness and consciousness with an inner smile at how serious the world is sometimes.
Om-m-m-m-m-m and the mystical, powerful, pure mantra - Om mani padme hum
