We begin all of our Little Lotus classes with a tuning in. Usually this is done by saying OM. I begin by greeting the class and leading in a round of OM, which then usually generates every child wanting to say their own OM. We incoporate OM when we sing HARI OM, begin the class with OM, end the class with OM, and you have probably heard your little one saying the word at home. This may be in a quick manner or done in a sing song manner.
However, you may also be thinking well what does OM mean?
Om represents the entire universe. The word OM represents the past, present and future. When we say OM we create an internal vibration within the body that helps to calm the mind.
So the next time your little yogi feels the desire to communicate the word OM, take a few moments to sit down with them and practice together. Feel the calmness enter the body (even if its only for a few moments within a busy day!) and share a special moment with your child!
Namaste,
Amanda
