That is called Pranava. In Patanjali Yoga Sutras, it is mentioned as Tasya Vachak Pranavaha. By clear utterance of this Pranava, A, O, Maa has a real calming effect that leads to to the higher states of consciousness.

When you are uttering mm, it engages the upper part of your lungs so that all the lungs will function properly. It also helps you to improve your respiratory system. By doing this, it is a meditative practice. By doing this, you can feel a lot of calming effect and also connect with your source, connect with your true self. This is the only way in yoga philosophy where you can reach, realize the God, you can realize the higher reality. This is how you have to chant this Aum.
