Comprising three phonetic phases (<em>A<\/em> representing the waking state and physical realm, <em>U<\/em> symbolizing the dream state and subtle mental plane, and <em>M<\/em> representing deep dreamless sleep and causal reality) followed by the silent fourth phase (<em>Turiya<\/em>, pure transcendental consciousness), chanting Om is both supreme metaphysics and neuroscience. Sustained vocalization of the elongated nasal &#8216;M-m-m&#8217; frequency at approximately 432 Hz stimulates the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, elevates nitric oxide production in the nasal passages, and drops cortical agitation into calming theta brainwaves.
