OM
Om is a sound and a Symbol which is rich in meaning and depth. Om represents the divine in each of us, as well as our interconnectivity. Om reminds us that we have the ability to move past our physical and mental state of consciousness and connect with the divine - both in ourselves and others. In its essence, Om represents the sound of divinity in all things in the past, present and future..

Om can be used to.....
To connect to the oneness of all things. Yogis chant om to begin or end a yoga practice, and it is common to repeat the sound together as a class one to three times. You can chant the sacred syllable alone or together as a group, always in coordination with your conscious breath.
To increase the quality of meditation. Focusing in and up towards your third eye chakra with your eyes closed while chanting om can help deepen your state of meditation.
To harmonize systems of the body. The sacred sound also balances and harmonizes the nervous system through energetic vibrations created by the sound.
To form more complex mantras. You can add om to other Sanskrit words to create more complex, advanced mantras like "Om Mani Padme Hum," which is a part of some Buddhist teachings. Mani means jewel, Padme means lotus flower, and Hum implies a state of enlightenment.


Spiritual quality’s of Oak..................

Truth, steadfast knowledge, protection ………To the ancient Celtic people, oak was the protector, provider, benevolent king of the trees. Oak provided the people shelter in the form of building material, protection by providing material for weapons, and nourishment through its edible acorns. Oak is an excellent healing wood. Connected strongly to the Earth, it can easily channel natural life energies, and help sense where healing might be needed. This wood helps center the mind, allowing it to focus on the task at hand and ignore distractions. It can also help bring about desirable change in love matters. Oak help promote both observation and intuition. Oak provides a very balanced energy, skewed neither toward the light or the darkness.
