Rise of Tribes

For a very long time, I had associated the chanting of OM to be religious or spiritual. In the last 2 years, I understood, there is a scientific nuance associated to this specific chant. This is a chant when combined with slow inhale and exhale (breathwork), helps moderate your nervous system, lowers anxiety, enhances your happiness hormones in the body, resulting in joy and relaxation.

1. Blood Pressure Regulation: Helps stabilize cardiovascular rhythms.
2. Respiratory Health: Deep breathing during chanting improves lung capacity and oxygen intake.
