Oohm-Muah and Cathedral Sunlight

Qigong (pronounced "chee gong") is a Chinese health and healing technique that dates back thousands of years. We are fortunate to have Spring Forest Qigong in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, an organization established by Chunyi Lin, a Qigong Master. His goal is to work towards having "a healer in every family and a world without pain."

The Spring Forest Qigong Small Universe and Energy Breathing meditations use the traditional yogic "Om" chant, spoken forwards and backwards as "Oohm... Muah... Oohm... Muah...". The meditator breathes in time with the chant. This .mp3 file presents half an hour of the Oohm-Muah chant at a speed of four breaths per minute, accompanied by almost 35 minutes of music.

The music accompanying the chant is Sunlight Through Cathedral Window by Robert Ronnes.

Feel Free to download this meditation for your own use or to share with friends. However, it must not be sold, nor may it be used in any other commercial activity. When you share it, please credit Robert Ronnes for the music and myself for the chant. Thank you!
