Om

The symbol stands for the sound "Om" and is the spiritual symbol for the Indian religions.

Om connects the three sounds A, U and M. It symbolizes the universal, the totality, or the unity and also triads. Such as the gods Brahma (creator), Vishnu (sustainer), and Shiva (destroyer), or body, mind, and soul.

You can often find Om at the beginning or end of a yoga class so that the body, mind, and soul are attuned or rounded off for each lesson. When you sing the syllable, it creates a vibration in your body. The vibration has a harmonizing and centering effect. I sing the Om more often when alone rather than in my classes. I sing it to get in the mood for meditation and thus find focus.
