OOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

THIS APPARENTLY IS THE SANSKRIT SYMBOL FOR 'OM'
THEORTEICALLY OUR DNA RESPONDS POSITIVELY TO THE LOW SOUND & RESONANCE OF THIS WHEN REPEATED MEDITATIVELY
(yoga instructor in background)

I'm not sure I buy that just yet, but I'm open to suggestion & interpretation
so what the heck . . .'om, 'om on the range for me tonite


personally, I think it looks like the number THIRTY with a smiley face over it

Yes!That's exactly the sound here too,a bit like "ONG"!Now I know what Vinay meant!I thought OM was some initials of something I don't know.Thanks Virginia!(^_^)

wow,Chris . . thank you so much for the explanation. It's nice to know the reasoning behind it. I appreciate your stopping by & taking the time to write this. Thank you again!

The Om symbol is created by three letters of the Sanskrit alphabet, A-U-M and by the silence that arises before and after them. The character on the left, which looks like a '3', represents the perceptions of the conscious and unconscious mind. The curve on the right represents the perceptions of the dreaming mind. The stroke above represents the bar to seeing the reality of those perceptions.

It almost looks like a tattoo. I like how you have the lady in the background.

I find myself wondering about the woman in the background. Did she find Peace? Inner tranquility? Or is she wondering what she's going to prepare for supper?

I love the softness in this one. Not sure but the DNA stuff though... I mean they were OMing away before anyone even knew what DNA was. From the thumbnail I thought it was someones 30th b-day.
