#39 Meditation - Mantra Series (Part 3): Om Shanti (7min)

Hey Yogi,

Welcome to Part 3 of our 3 Part Mantra Series.

What is a Mantra?
A mantra is a Sanskrit word, loosely translated to ‘vehicle of the mind’. It is a sound, word or phrase that is often used to help keep the mind focused. Mantras are a great way of practicing mindfulness, helping to slow down and calm the mind during your yoga and meditation practices. In this series we will be exploring 3 different mantras combined with some simple breathing techniques.

Mantra #2: Om Shanti
In this mediation we will be exploring the mantra ‘Om Shanti’, cultivating peace to all that is. The shanti is repeated three times (as are many chants in Buddhism) to represent peace in body, mind and speech.
