Om or Aum is a very powerful symbol in Karuna Reiki® system. It is a sacred symbol which is found in Hinduism, Buddhism and also used in Yoga. Before being discovered as a symbol in Karuna Reiki®, it was the most sacred sound found in Yoga. Om represent the entire universe, known as Brahman, it is also said to be the source of all creation. Om represents all time: past, present, and future; and is beyond time itself. Om represents the eternal oneness of all that is.
For people who have confusion over how Om should be pronounced, it is pronounced the same as “HOME” just without the “H”. As a symbol in Karuna Reiki® it is drawn over ones head to pen a pathway to God and Higher consciousness. It is also used to purify, protect, seal and stabilize the Aura.
The beauty about the Om/Aum symbol is one can also use it, if they are not attuned to Reiki. Regular chanting of Aum leads to open and activate the Third Eye chakra, also it is used in all Beej Mantras. Most of the Mantras start with Om. Om is not a word but music to everyone.
Om has four subtle sounds that correspond to four levels of consciousness. The first sound of “A” represents the conscious waking state. The second sound of “U” represents the subtle, unconscious dream state. The third sound of “M” represents the casual, subconscious deep sleep state. The fourth sound is the silence that follows the sound of Om which represents the absolute consciousness that illumines and pervades the three prior states.
