S O U N D S : AUM (aka: OM) - (“I See”)
There is an energetic body of energy surrounding each of us that is composed of vibrations. This is known as the Auric Field and it exists in seven different layers sometimes referred to as harmonics because of the colour fields they emit.
The Auric Field correlates to our seven major centers of consciousness (chakras) within the physical human body and these chakras are closely associated with the seven seed (Bija) mantras. (Bija) seed mantras consist of seven syllables and each syllable connects to a specific chakra. These single syllable sounds can be chanted to strengthen the energy of the each chakra.
A mantra involves the repetitive use of a specific sound or short phrase called 'Chanting" and has been utilized in meditation and spiritual practices for thousands of years to concentrate and alter subtle energies within and around us. The continuous repetition of words, sounds, and vibrations in a mantra chant calms the body and mind, quiets the senses, and elevates awareness.
The seed syllable for the Third-Eye Chakra is “AUM” or “OM”
AUM aka OM is pronounced ah-oo-mm with a long “o” sound.
This sound is said to be a magnetic seed that attracts increased intuition, heightened sensitivity to energy, enhanced perception, vivid dreams, and an increased sense of synchronicity in your life.
"AUM" or “OM” represents the beginning, middle, and end of all things. It is made up of three syllables, A-U-M, and is said to contain all the sounds of creation. Om is considered a universal sound, the seed of all words, and the primordial sound from which all other sounds and creation emerge.
While “OM” is one of the most common mantras and can be used for a wide variety of mantra meditations, it is essential to your Third Eye Chakra, the seat of your intuition and life purpose. Chanting it will allow you to listen to your inner wisdom and use that wisdom to chart the best course for a life of purpose and passion.
The chanting of the seed mantras has a tremendous effect on all the chakras.

"One can gain a better understanding by picturing a large metal bell and a rod. Striking the bell with the rod creates a vibration and produces a sound.
Similarly, chanting and repeating a Mantra is like striking the Chakra with the Mantra. This creates a unique vibration that has a direct impact on your overall physical and mental health. As you chant in a relaxed state, you can feel this vibration ripple throughout your body, as it resonates to your very core."

2. Hold a Crystal or Gemstone: Hold a Purple or Indigo Crystal placing it on the desired Chakra center, or hold it in your left hand.
3. Visualize: Visualize a radiant vortex of Purple Indigo light, like a spinning wheel, at your Third-Eye Chakra, located 4 inches behind the center of your eyebrows. With each breath you take, envision this energy intensifying and expanding.
4 Focus: Quiet your mind, eliminate all thoughts, and focus solely on the spinning energy at your Third-Eye Chakra Center.
5. Feel: As you vocalize the "O" sound, envision a cascade of Purple Indigo light flooding into your Third-Eye Chakra. Then, intone the full "OM" mantra slowly; pronounced ah-oo-mm with a long “o” sound, articulating each syllable distinctly, and sense the vibration spreading from that point through all your chakra centers; then returning to your Third Eye Chakra continue this practice until you feel its ok to stop.
