Welcome to Episode 9 of the Daily 3 Minute Mantra Podcast with Aaralyn Shiri! Today's mantra is Om.
Om is the sound of creation, and we'll be breathing in for 5-6 seconds and then singing Om for 5-6 seconds. This rhythm is one of the most efficient, according to a book I recently read called "Breath" by James Nestor. Thought we could try it out!
"It turned out that the most efficient breathing rhythm occurred when both the length of respirations and total breaths per minute were locked into a spooky symmetry: 5.5-second inhales followed by 5.5-second exhales, which works out almost exactly to 5.5 breaths a minute." - from "Breath" by James Nestor.
So come back to the present moment and sing with me for 3 minutes. Humming is great, too! Just connect with your body and feel the vibrations. ~Aaralyn
