108 Times reciting AUM with a group. The AUM, creation sound, the sound that takes you beyond silence. Out of your head and into your heart more and more through reciting. 40 days together in a whatsapp group, this group will stay on the air for 108 days for those who want to continue. In the group I will occasionally share something, that which is applicable to the AUM meditation challenge.
Why the AUM? The Mantra helps you get deeper and deeper into yourself. To move through your tension into relaxation. The vibration of the AUM resonates throughout your whole body on a physical and subtle level, working in your bones, muscles, organs, connective tissue, thinking, knowing and on control. The autonomic nervous system is activated but also the vagus nerve, the psoas muscle and the entire immune system. This relaxation in the body activates self-healing.
Why 40 days? This period helps you to break patterns and create a new normal in your daily routine and in your body.
Why 108 x ? 108 Is a sacred number. Shiva has 108 names 1 stands for God (unity), 0 for completeness or perfection in spiritual practice and 8 for infinity.
What would happen if you let the AUM resonate completely from the inside out 108 times in complete tranquillity? Out loud, but not so loud that you lose yourself. Let your sound merge with the sounds in the room and stop worrying about your patterns, the other person and time.
You can practise or listen to the AUM in various ways and, after 108 times, make the transition to silence.
February 28, we started this challenge together and we will conclude together on Friday, April 10.
