Let's now examine the HU sound. Just as many traditions believe that the OM is the original creative sound, and other traditions believe that the AH is the original creative sound, so there are traditions that believe that the HU is the fundamental sound energy.

In the Shabd yoga traditions of India, as well as the Westernized counterpart of Shabd yoga (Master Path an Eckankar), and in the mystical Islamic path of Sufi, HU is considered to be the highest vibratory mantra that can be sounded.

Chanting the HU is that to lead one to transcendence, God realization, and enlightnment.

Hu is believed to be the universal name of God, present in every language. The HU sound has been described as many things: the buzzingof bees, rushing of wind, the flute of God. It is said to bepresent in the words we speak, in the sounds of animal, the wind in the trees, the roaring of waterfalls, or the beat of the sea against a beach - everywhere, in every plane of existence.

Like the AH and the OM, the HU is a seed syllable. Depending on its pronunciation, it may also be perceived as a vowel sound, the U (as in "you"). The HU creaates energy for balance and clearing. Many believe it activates both heart and crown chakras. When sounded together in a large group, it can be extremely tranformative.
