New Healing Trend: Chanting 'Om' 108 Times Is Transforming Lives Around the World

CHANDIGARH, India - April 19, 2025 - PRLog -- In a world obsessed with quick fixes and digital detoxes, millions are now turning to something far older—and far more powerful: the ancient vibration of the Om mantra.

From Hollywood celebrities to tech CEOs, people everywhere are embracing a simple but potent practice—chanting "Om" 108 times daily. Why 108? In Hindu and yogic traditions, 108 is considered a sacred number, symbolizing spiritual completion. And now, science is beginning to catch up with what sages have known for centuries.

🎧 The Sound of the Universe

Om (or AUM) is said to be the primordial sound—the frequency that underlies all of creation. When chanted correctly, it resonates through the body, synchronizing the mind, breath, and soul. Practitioners say it's like hitting the reset button on your nervous system.

"Chanting Om 108 times isn't just spiritual—it's therapeutic," says Dr. Anjali Mehra, a neuropsychologist researching sound healing. "We've seen reductions in anxiety, improved heart rate variability, and even changes in brainwave activity."

🧘 Why 108 Times?

The number 108 appears in many spiritual traditions: 108 energy lines (nadis) converge at the heart chakra, there are 108 Upanishads, and malas (prayer beads) typically have 108 beads to keep count. Chanting Om this many times is believed to align you with universal energy—and transform your inner state.

💥 Going Viral on TikTok and YouTube

The hashtag #Om108Challenge has exploded across social media, with users sharing before-and-after stories of emotional breakthroughs, improved sleep, and deeper meditation. Videos featuring the chant paired with stunning visualizations have racked up millions of views.

"I was skeptical," shares TikTok creator LunaJay, "but after a week of chanting Om 108 times each morning, my anxiety dropped dramatically. It feels like I've tapped into something bigger than myself."

🌿 Healing the Modern Mind

With mental health issues on the rise globally, this ancient sound may be the modern medicine we didn't know we needed. The beauty of the Om mantra? You don't need expensive gear, a guru, or even prior experience. Just your voice, your breath, and a willingness to let go.
