Meditations with OM (AUM) - Accredited course

Patanjali's yoga sutras present meditation as the cessation of mind movements, leading to samadhi, liberation, and realization of pure consciousness through om japa.

Trace the origins of om in vedic ritual, from the Rig Veda, Summer Veda, Jaguar Veda, and Atharva Veda, through soma ritual and mantra practice, to later Upanishadic philosophy.

Explore how creation arises through speech, from Brahman and Brahma to the akshara, with Vac and om as the never-ending cosmic syllable.

Discover how the Chandogya Upanishad elevates Om from ritual to salvific power, uniting the three Vedas and three worlds, and guiding seekers toward liberation through japa and meditation.

Practice a vocal meditation on aum by shaping sound through controlled mouth movement and nasal breath, experiencing abdominal to chest vibration and the nasal bindu overtone.

Practice a 21‑repetition ohm vocalization meditation, tracing vibration from abdomen to the head, with a straight spine and mindful posture, optionally using Maha Yoga breathing.

Follow along a 21-time ohm meditation: sit with a straight spine and Gilan mudra; inhale through the nose and vocalize ohm through the mouth 21 times, then observe the vibrations.

Engage in japa meditation on the inner mantra om or ohm, repeating it internally to concentrate the vibration in the center of the head with deliberate rhythm.

Explore how Om is written in Devanagari, including the three shape, tail, half moon, and bindu, and how this form informs pronunciation and meditation.

Engage in trataka on AUM to develop sustained gaze and mental focus by gazing without blinking at a point, while gradually extending practice and following safety guidelines.

Visualize the ohm in three centers—the heart lotus, the forehead agni chakra, and the mind’s cheetah sthana—while emitting the sound and sustaining the afterimage to deepen meditation.

Explore the Mandukya Upanishad's four states of consciousness—wakefulness, dream, deep sleep, and turiya—and how the Om mantra reveals the self, atman, and ultimate liberation through meditation techniques.

Explore meditating on the ohm mantra using the charter of ohm to raise prana from wakefulness to turiya and samadhi, lifting the sound through chakras toward pure consciousness.

Explore yoga nidra with aum through a 61-point body relaxation and mantra visualization, guiding wakefulness into dream, dreamless sleep, and beyond-states, best with headphones.
