Practising A-U-M at Vep
The inner government of the self is established through practice, not theory. Our primary country is the body and mind. We must govern this inner world first, choosing nourishment wisely. We cannot negotiate with the inner world; blaming others creates guilt that reflects back as disease. Negative thoughts and words are bullets that cannot be recalled; they shorten life and generate suffering. Our habits of eating and negative thinking create disturbances. To heal, we must cultivate positive thoughts and solve others' problems, which brings deep rest.
The science of yoga awakens dormant power within the chakras. The sound Oṃ is a scientific tool for healing. Chanting begins with 'A' at the navel, moves to the heart, transitions to 'U' at the throat, and culminates in the humming 'M' that vibrates the entire brain. This practice harmonizes the nervous system, relieves headaches, and releases depression. The resonance cleanses the inner channels and restores memory.
"Two things do not come back: the bullet and the word."
"Negative thinking... that’s it. And you cannot hide that from the two who know constantly."
