When Amma was small, she used to walk on the beach. The ebb and flow of the waves sounded like Ma and Om to her. As she walked on the beach, Ma Om became her breath, continuous and automatic. Thus every step was meditation.

Using Amma’s MA-OM meditation, we learn to focus the mind using these mantras synchronized with the breath. We are invited to gradually turn the mind inwards until we arrive at an experience of our own silent presence.
