Think about the resonance of Om, many voices joining in the sound, how that feels. Now consider daily life. You have resonance happening all the time. There is harmonic resonance. Tune into the feeling of that for a moment. There is discordant resonance. Tune into the feeling of that for a moment. Remember that you are … Continue reading Resonance
