The Omkar Therapy is part of a discipline called music therapy (in this case Indian music), a type of therapy that allows the improvement of the health through music. In particular, through the combination of specific notes (this combination of notes is called Raga) you can act on specific chakra.

OM (Omkar) is the primordial sound of which created the universe. Also the sound of the spiritual energy, called Kundalini.

The Omkar consists of 4 sounds: A and U contracts that give O, O nasal (anuswara) and M.
Each of these sounds has a direct effect on our energy system:

A - kar has the power to activate the left channel or lunar channel – power of desire

U – kar has the power to activate the right channel or solar channel – power of action

M – kar acts directly on the center channel – power of evolution

Omkar therapy is widely used for stress management.
