Physical, Mental & Spiritual Health Benefits of Chanting OM

Chanting OM gives Physical, Mental & Spiritual Health Benefits

When we are chanting OM, its vibrations benefits us in the following ways:
-       Helps to Improve Concentration
When we are chanting Om, we sort of detach ourselves from the whole world putting aside all our worries and tensions. With regular chanting om, our mind becomes focused on this small Sanskrit word.
As we keep on practicing, we become more attentive in whatever we do and our level of concentration improves.
-       Increases Mental Alertness
Older research has shown that Om chanting can enhance alertness even when we’re already relaxed, noted by a reduction in heart rate. A group of meditators who chanted Om showed a statistically significant reduction in their heart rate compared to a control group that engaged in non-targeted thinking.
-       Reduces Stress and Anxiety
According to a recent medical report, chanting Om has been associated with reducing stress. One of the biggest health benefits of Om chanting is that it brings down stress levels. It provides relief from anxiety and tension. Regular chanting ensures that we feel peaceful from within and are less distracted while doing any form of work. A person practicing Om chanting regularly feels serene and pious from within. It is a form of meditation which helps us to know more about our inner self and add more meaning to everything that you do.
-       Rejuvenates & Pacifies
Tensions are a regular part of life. But too much anxiety and stress produce toxins in the body leading to harmful physical and mental diseases. And Om chanting eliminates the possibilities of toxin production by reducing stress and making us feel rejuvenated whenever we start chanting. Thus, one of the health benefits of Om chanting is that it makes us feel happy, rejuvenated and pacifies our troubled heart.
Regular Om chanting also helps to reduce our mood swings and thus improve our work capacity and performance. So, it indicates that with regular Om chanting practice we can improve your personal as well as professional life .
-       Gives Strength to Spinal Cord
Research suggests that Om or AUM chanting creates a significant impact on the spinal cord of a person. The vibrations created during chanting improve the efficiency of the spinal cord. But for that, we must practice it regularly under proper guidance.
-       Increases Environmental Awareness
Studies that have shown a combination of mental alertness with physiological rest during Om chanting have also revealed increased sensitivity to sensory transmission. In other words, Om chanting and meditating helps us become more present by putting us deeply in touch with our body and our environment via sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
-       Detoxifies Body
Chanting of Om is a type of meditation. And when we regularly perform this meditation, it contributes to improve the detoxification process of our body. Improvement in blood circulation and oxygen enriched supply to the body cells are the two most important health benefits of Om chanting. When we chant Om, we have to breathe deeply. This deep breathing process helps to get rid of toxins.
-       Improves Functioning of Heart & Digestive System
Chanting of OM regulates the blood flow to different body parts. Thus, it helps in controlling blood pressure and symptoms of hypertension. When we disconnect from the outer world during chanting, our breathing, respiration and heart beat normalizes. Regular practice thus improves the working of our heart. Moreover, it also helps to improve our digestive system functioning.
-       Ensures Sound Sleep
Stress and hectic lifestyle impact our lifestyle badly. Late nights of working and waking up late in the morning disturb our overall body cycle. We can improve our sleep and wake up pattern by practicing Om chanting regularly. It not only ensures that we fall asleep quickly, but also that we get sound and enough sleep.
-       Makes Us Emotionally Stable
Emotional instability is one of the reasons for failure. When we are worried, angry, frustrated or irritated, it directly impacts our career. Our behavior becomes irrational and impractical due to which we may even become disturbed. However, we can benefit immensely by chanting Om regularly as it helps us to gain control over our emotional state.
-       Improves Reasoning Ability, Reduces Negativity
A disturbed mind has a tendency to think negative first whenever some untoward incidence happens. But regular Om chanting ensures that we stay positive even in dire circumstances. Our reasoning ability improves and we are able to take right and better decisions in difficult conditions. We even start distinguishing between right and negative people and thus choose a positive group of friends.
