Positive Effects of ‘AUM’ Chanting on Mental Health Well-Being

Abstract

Chanting is an ancient practice that has been used for centuries to promote spiritual growth and emotional healing. Om chanting, in particular, is a powerful form of chanting that has gained popularity in recent years due to its reported positive effects on mental health. Mental health is a crucial aspect of well-being and has been linked with overall health and quality of life. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines mental health as a state of well-being where an individual realizes their potentials, copes with the stresses of life, works productively, and contributes to their community. However, mental health issues are on the rise globally, with depression, anxiety, and stress levels increasing among people in different age groups.
