Thanks for entering the om symbol at the top of our forum Into Blue
This is the symbol for om and when we chant om we bring the vibration of God's energy vibrating thru creation. Sometimes we can hear the sound of om when we meditate. There are techniques to 'hear' the sound of om in the Self Realization Fellowship Lessons and in Amma's meditation techniques (amoung others). The Holy Ghost or comforter ('I will send you the comforter') which was spoken of in the Bible is the sound of om. It sounds somewhat like the sound of a sea shell near your ear when you first 'hear' it. It is good to chant this holy word and be reminded of it in any way possible.

Thank you for sharing the Om information.

Here is a real nice relaxing youtube with that very cool sound.
I wish there was an hour long version of it somewhere.

Here is a song the Moody Blues did a long time ago
When I was 15 I heard this and had no idea what it meant, but the sound stuck in my head and an unknown feeling as well.
It took me many years before I finally understood it.
I really hope you like it if you never heard of it.

Hi Into Blue, yes it is OM on the "In search of the lost chord" album by the moodies, here is a wikki link about the album, it is still available as well in the US anyways,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Search_of_the_Lost_Chord

It was written by Mike Pinder. Why this is special for me is they are a rock band, and they are not really spiritual, but deep inside they were and I started my spirituality when I was a boy and I didnt even realize it.

If you have a Grooveshark link (at http://listen.grooveshark.com/, which is a free song station) just type in OM by the moodies and it will play just fine.

If you like the Moodies get the 1st 7 albums, these are all the albums with Michael Pinder on it before he left. Mike and Justin Hayward were the Spiritual guys in the MB that changed my life.
Here is a link to ALL their albums,  http://www.webwriter.f2s.com/moody/lyrics/list.htm

Some of Steves work reminds me of these guys..
Listen to them all they are great!!

Your welcome, it seems I have found a merge between my love of spirituality (the universal sound) and the Moodies!

There is something very amazing about this OM chant called "Om Namah Shivayae" pranayam from Art of Living. It makes me feel like heaven is right in front of me. The sound stirs the soul!!
