Chanting Om

Chanting helps me calm my mind, slow down and be present. It uplifts my mood when I am feeling down and energises me when I am feeling flat, it brings me to tears and fills me with joy and is the most consistent tool I have found that opens me to the deep peace that is the natural state of our being when our mind is at ease and still. It relaxes the nervous system by lengthening our exhalation and deepening our inhalation. I know it works as I feel the effects but I was curious if there was scientific evidence of its benefits.
I decided to look up some studies on the benefits of chanting OM and this is what I found:
Chanting OM
* improves our concentration, gives peace and steadiness to our mind and reduces mental stress 
* negative thoughts are swept away
* stabilizes the brain
* reduces depression 
* calms the nervous system
Take 5 mins to try this practice and feel the benefits yourself.
