Om
Om, often spelled "Aum," is a sacred sound and spiritual symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It represents the essence of the universe and is considered a powerful mantra in meditation. The sound is made up of three phonetic components: "A," "U," and "M," symbolizing various divine aspects, such as creation, preservation, and destruction. In many spiritual practices, chanting Om helps to center the mind, promote relaxation, and connect practitioners with a deeper sense of spirituality. It embodies the vibrational essence of existence and the interconnectedness of all life.
