Tonight we practiced a moving meditation using a simple but powerful mantra of Om Shanti Om.
Om meaning universe and Shanti meaning peace in Sanskrit.
As you go through your day today silently chant the mantra Om Shanti. With each extended inhale say the word Shanti and as you slowly exhale say Om. As you repeat this mantra notice if you begin to see a change in your current state of being. Do you feel calmer, more peaceful? What is the quality of your breath? Has it become slower, smoother? If your answer is yes, then you have just experienced the power of mantra. When you feel stressed, agitated, or have anxiety simply begin this mantra with each inhale and exhale. The beauty is you can do it anywhere without anyone knowing. Or if you're feeling brave, you can say it out loud and begin to spread the joy of this beautiful, peaceful mantra. Who knows, if luck has it, you might even have the whole office chanting it.
Om Shanti Om,
May peace be with you and the Universe.
Namaste~
