Mani-means the jewel of compassion, capable of fulfilling all desires. It is the sound of transformation, for the jewel of the mind (or the philosopher's stone) that puts us in touch with eternity. It also helps to close the entrance door of dense energies especially envy.

It can also be considered the subtle mind, refined and connected with compassion for all beings, in this way it creates a positive thinking pattern by making mental Hygiene and bringing a sense of happiness. And in a more advanced stage the detachment from the suffering that desires cause us.

Padme-means the lotus flower, the one that is born from the slime and blooms. That is, it is born from darkness, from where there is dirt and difficulty, it opens its flowers only after it has risen beyond the surface of the silt.

It creates positive emotions and very strong for those who have difficulties dealing with their own emotions.

Hum-this syllable represents the enlightened mind and works with a cleansing sound, dispels shadows. Eternity and helps in suffering from feelings of anger and hatred. He is the liberation from everything that is not part of or positive for our soul. It is also Infinity, Mother Earth and eternity.
