If you are a new parent who has still not figured out the best and quickest way to put your baby to sleep, this video may just come in handy. A dad's video of putting his baby girl to sleep is currently going insanely viral all over social media. In his short clip, San Diego dad Daniel Eisenman does something so simple yet incredible that his video has collected over 34 million views since being shared on Facebook on April 22.
The syllable OM is an ancient Sanskrit letter first found in the Vedas, originating between 1500 – 1200 BC. A collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns, they were sung in praise of the Divine. They were not written out at first, but were vibrated into existence using human speech. Teachings on the metaphysics of OM were later elaborated on in the Upanishads, ancient Indian mystical texts. Later, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali categorized the 8 Limbs of Yoga.
The sixth of these, Dharana, meaning concentration, described various methods of supporting the mind to achieve single-focused attention. Repeating a mantra, and especially this syllable OM, was an important aspect of accomplishing this sixth stage of yoga, or union with the Divine origins. Anne Dyer, sound yoga expert, in an interview with Rodney Yee, explains that Patanjali taught this: “Chant Om and you will attain your goal. If nothing else works, just chant Om.”

I searched ATS and Google to no avail.
The child’s reaction is amazing to watch. If you have the opportunity, try this technique on your own children and let the rest of us know if it worked. It seems harmless and may help you regain some sanity.
The Cultural and Historical Roots of OM

Coincidentally, “OM” or “AUM” are most associated with the 6th (brow point) and 7th (top of head) chakras in relation to the rest of the body. In my opinion, newborns and young children are more inclined to have a pure vessel and dwelling spirit, therefore more susceptible to the power of these syllables when used correctly.
