10-1-08 Chanting OM

This is my third and last session of chanting OM. I have found that I am most comfortable chanting OM in my head rather than aloud. The most important aspect of this style of chant is being comfortable. Only when you are comfortable can you achieve the inner peace in which you are working towards. Like yoga chanting OM creates a peaceful atmosphere in which a person can focus their mind on nothing while achieving wonderful things. To achieve these wonderful things a person must gain the inner peace in which chanting OM can provide. I have found that chanting OM even a few minutes at a time throughout the day can help allivate stress. I feel that chanting OM does achieve its goal of providing a inner peace. However, I do not understand why the website states that chanting OM is not for heavy meat eaters? I will continue to chant OM while at work. I feel that out of all the yoga philosophies this can be easily done throughout the day. Also, the deep breathing which is done in many yoga practices does seem to help clear the mind.
