Ohh... And one thing Percyval....

"OM" - or should I say "AO-NG", should be in a deep bass-tone. You will get
the right sound when You experience a VIBRATION in the center of the head.
The bow that vibrates is the "crescent" in the OM-sign.... Nada-Yoga and
sound is nothing to play with, because every sound has a certain effect on
spesific parts of the body. So, in order to pronounce it correct, it should
be a deep bass-tone which - I repeat, causes a vibration inside the center
of the head. Vibrations.... That's whats all about !

Blessings
