9-29-08 Chanting OM

Today is my second session in the art of chanting OM. My first session resulted in me falling asleep from the practice. Instead of chanting OM in my head I am going to do it aloud to see if I get the same results as before. I start chanting on the couch as I did the time before. However, chanting out loud is not as comfortable as chanting in my mind. Unlike many yogis who practice this daily this is only my second session. With time I am sure that many people are comfortable with chanting aloud. I am not comfortable with this. I am not experiencing the same level of peace that I was experiencing on 9-27-08. It is weird by changing one thing I do not get the same results. I fell asleep the time before because I was experiencing the inner peace that http://www.meditationiseasy.com/. At the bottom of the section it states not to continue if you are uneasy. I find this to be very beneficial because once I stop and start again with chanting in my head I start to become comfortable again. By chanting in my head it creates a peaceful rhythm in my body which seems to help with stress. The main goal of chanting OM is to achieve this inner peace. Like other yoga practices OM is meant to create an innner peace and I feel it does achieve this level. However, it only works if you are comfortable.
