The primal sound
AUM
The cosmic vibration Yogananda called the Holy Ghost — heard in meditation, chanted aloud, and written as ॐ. Four ways to meet it.
Practice 1
AUM chant counter
Chant one AUM with every pulse of the circle. Set the pace to your own heartbeat so the chant and the body move together.
72 per minute
The chant keeps sounding and counting if your screen locks.
Set the pace to your heartbeat
Tap along with your pulse eight to ten times, then fine-tune below. Your pace is remembered.
Sign in to keep your count from day to day.
Practice 2
Trace AUM
Follow the dotted ॐ with your finger. Each completed tracing counts as one, and a fresh outline appears.

Sign in to keep your count from day to day.
Practice 3
AUM chanting by Swami Kriyananda
Chant along for a few rounds, then sit still and listen inwardly for the sound to continue on its own.
Practice 4
AUM in the chakras
Sit upright, close your eyes, and let the recording carry AUM up through each centre of the spine.
Listen with eyes closed
