The feeling of peace it gives me. Alst the strength and power of the sound, a gentle strength. Like a breeze that can become a mighty wind but is gentle and welcome on a hot day. It is also the sound that created the universe and I feel connected to God when I chant it.

I basicly do it when I am preparing to meditate

When you chant Om in solitude and silence, with love and attention, the prana within increases resulting in expansion of consciousness.

For a devotee with dedicated soul, what else can he/she think off, without thinking about his/her yog with his/her beloved lord... OUM gives me feeling of uniting with my beloved lord. I am alive only with the intention to unite with Him/Her.

The energy surge I feel when I feel the vibrations of the sound going through me, brings me into a state of total bliss.

Primal sound. Good to begin and end a meditation session. Great to meditate on and chant.

If no other blessing chant is known, and because of the peaceful nature of AUM, it's used both before and after meetings, meals, and other events. It's often chanted 3 times at large gatherings as well.

I wrote AUM, because generally it's consider the blending of 3 sounds, a as in saw, U as in too, and the M sound held. When said quickly the first two do come out as O.
