How the symbol of Om is be used as a support for meditation?

Many find it extremely difficult to meditate upon God as pure Consciousness. The universal and powerful sound symbol ‘om’ is used as support. When chanting long and loud, the sound should resonate like a temple bell. Om is formed with the combination of ‘a’, ‘u’, and ‘m’, three sounds represent the waking, dreaming and deep-sleep states respectively. Any mantra or symbol can be used as support. But the mantra should be short and should be chanted effectively and also its should be clear. Mantra ‘om’ meets all these requirements.
