> How long should each pronounciation of the a-u-n-g be optimally.... in
other words each breath? Should it be as long as you can breath out for
before you have to take another breath or should it be short with more
repitition?
hiya Charles,
i only know from playing around with it... what i find is that just chanting
it for whatever length of breath feels comfortable seems the best for me...
also, remember to enjoy the reverbrations as they fade into the silence
between your breaths...
it was a funny yet futile experience when i tired to search the archives to
find the original posts discussing this alternate pronunciation... searching
"om" turns up every single post containing the word "from" (ie every single
post)... searching "aum" turns up every post that contains the word
"trauma".. and searching "aung and "a-u-n-g" turns up nothing, so they must
have used multiple letters like "aunnnggg" or perhaps simply "ng" together
with usual form of the mantra...
my recollection is that there were 2 separate posts discussing this, by one
or two of these posters: Christopher Winter, Wim Borsboom and/or Magne
Aga... and all 3 of them have been prolific posters to the list over the
years, so searching their names is not an efficient way to find the posts
either...

complete search engine, in case anyone else wants to give it a try...
warmly,
