The sounds of AUM and RAM
The sound Aum and the movement of prāṇa are central to awakening inner energy. All language begins from the single center of the navel. The letter 'A' emanates from there, and 'R' returns to touch it, creating a cycle of expansion and contraction. In Kundalini science, one inhaled breath divides into ten prāṇas that energize the body. Chanting Aum is a Kriya Yoga practice. We expand into the universe with 'A' and contract, bringing the 'M' back to the navel. This awakens the Kundalini Śakti, moving energy from the navel to the heart, to the throat, to the brow center, and up to the crown, receiving the nectar of immortality. The cycle then brings this energy back down to the navel. By following this resonance, one purifies the body and connects with the universal energy.
"By chanting Aum, we are awakening that Kuṇḍalinī Śakti, coming from the navel to the heart, from the heart to the vocal cord, lightening in the Ājñā Cakra."
"Relax and close your eyes. Concentrate on the resonance. The vibration—through that resonance, you hear with your ears."
