experienced the music created by the likes of Om and Soham – which have been termed as Universal words. Om and Soham are the sound of vibrations created by energy. Even scientists have said that this world is nothing but mass and energy. Energy is the creator, sustainer and destructor. All scientists have agreed that energy creates vibrations and resultant sound. So our thoughts created by mind carry vibrations, and hence sound. Gifted musicians have been able to listen to music of nature 24x7. Many yoga practitioners can listen to the music not only created by nature (wind, water, sky, earth, etc.) but also the music created by our life force called prana in Sanskrit and chi in Chinese. Music is nothing else but rhythmic regulated sound. The case of thought vibrations are a bit more complex yet not very difficult to understand. For instance, if thoughts flow one after another, our understanding of it is proper. However, if a crowd of thoughts come to us altogether flowing in from different corners, it becomes a web and we get confused. If our mind is hyperactive, then such situations are presented, and our understanding and actions get affected. It is very important, therefore, to have a neat symmetry of mind which can only be if thoughts do not flow too quickly. Thoughts flow quickly because our mind is unstable and keep jumping from one thought to another like a monkey. This instability can actually be termed as a hyper-active state of mind which happens due to high vibration. At the root therefore lies vibration. In order to lessen the vibration, we need a mind control tool, a step-by-step method that can actually transform our mind from hyper-activity to a state of calm and effective rhythm over a period of time. I find it pertinent to mention here that most human beings on earth today are facing this problem and are therefore low on concentration, face sleep disorders, have short memory and go through a lot of stress- all due to the needless crowd of thoughts. So the big question is – what is that tool which can perform operation mind control for us? Which method can transform our mind state? Well, tools like meditation, physical yoga, gymming, surfing, sports, music, Aug/Sep 2017 · yogicherald.com · 19
