Namaste.

Today we will chant Om Shanti.

Om is the sound of creation.

Shanti means peace.

This chant or mantra Om Shanti is a call for peace.

Peace within and without.

Peace for the world,

The planet,

The earth,

All living beings.

Let's find a comfortable position and begin to settle in.

Close the eyes.

And begin to set aside any ideas you may have about life or yoga or chanting or the Sanskrit language or peace.

Allow the mind to be open today to new ideas.

And let's have a brand new experience today with this mantra and life and yoga and peace.

As you begin to settle in to your position with the eyes closed,

Let's take a deep inhale together and exhale,

Let it go.

Again,

Inhale,

Fill the body with breath and exhale,

Let it go.

One last time,

Deep inhale and exhale,

Release the breath.

As I repeat this mantra,

Please feel free to recite along with me or to listen and to have your own experience.

Let's begin.
