I hate to see Belgians desparate.
It is an "OM" a syllable through which the universe was brought into
being. It has resident in it's sound the essence of creation and
dissolution, and by extention, the death and rebirth process. There
is another syllable "hrim" which is the tone of release from the
process. I can email you henna patterns with these, and other
Sanscrit syllables used in chanting mantras .... inclucing "om, mane
padme hum" which is "hail to the jewel in the lotus" which either
refers to enlightenment recieved through perfect meditation, or
Tantric ecstacy.
Yes, they're free, just email me. Yes, the meanings are there with
the patterns They're .gifs and I'll email them back.
