#36 Meditation - Mantra Series (Part 2): Om (7min)

Hey Yogi,

Welcome to Part 2 of our 3 Part Mantra Series.

What is a Mantra?
A mantra is a Sanskrit word, loosely translated to ‘vehicle of the mind’. It is a sound, word or phrase that is often used to help keep the mind focused. Mantras are a great way of practicing mindfulness, helping to slow down and calm the mind during your yoga and meditation practices. In this series we will be exploring 3 different mantras combined with some simple breathing techniques.

Mantra #2: Om
In this meditation we will be using the mantra ‘OM’, which is said to be the sound of the universe. This mantra can have a calming + positive effect on the brain and can be a symbolic way of connecting to our inner self.
