If you have, how did it feel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rooted in Buddhism and associated with yoga and meditation, Om Shanti is much more than a yogi-type greeting. It has a profound meaning that can help elevate your consciousness and improve many aspects of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This sacred mantra can help you tap into the infinite wisdom of the universe and deepen your understanding of yourself from a vibrational standpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-om-shanti-mean\">What does Om Shanti mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOm Shanti\u201d is a versatile meditation mantra, also used as a sacred greeting phrase in various forms of yoga. You may also encounter it in a Buddhist chant or two.<br><br>In the most common understanding, the phrases &#8220;Om Shanti&#8221; and &#8220;Om Shanti Om&#8221; are often used to say, <em>&#8220;Peace be with you.&#8221;<\/em> But their original meanings represent something more significant than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Anodea Judith<\/strong>, the world\u2019s leading chakra expert and trainer of Mindvalley\u2019s <em>Chakra Healing<\/em> Quest, explains in her book <em>Chakra Mantras: Liberate Your Spiritual Genius Through Chanting<\/em>: \u201cOm\u201d and \u201cShanti\u201d together create a powerful vibration that can help calm the mind, reduce stress, and cultivate a sense of inner peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-meaning-of-om-in-sanskrit\">The meaning of \u201cOm\u201d in Sanskrit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no word-for-word translation available because &#8220;Om&#8221; has no direct translation. The sacred vibration of this syllable comprises the entire world\u2014the past, the present, the future, and beyond. \u201cOm\u201d transcends threefold time and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, the sound it makes vibrates at a frequency of 136.1 Hz, also known as the &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/resonancelighting.co.uk\/om\/\">Om Frequency<\/a>.&#8221; It resonates with the Earth, so it comes as no surprise that it is said to be the primordial sound of the Universe, representing the cycle of death and rebirth. Thus, it connects us to all that is, was, and will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nirak Naik,<\/strong> SOMA Breath\u00ae creator and trainer of Mindvalley\u2019s <em>Breathwork for Life<\/em> Quest, explains that chanting the sacred mantra &#8220;Om&#8221; can help you with three things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Activate the parasympathetic nervous system,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote the body&#8217;s rest, and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deep relaxation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, you will experience a sense of calm and peace, oxygenate your body, and <a href=\"https:\/\/oaji.net\/articles\/2016\/1496-1476352100.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reduce stress and anxiety<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ijpp.com\/IJPP%20archives\/1998_42_1\/57-63.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1998 study<\/a>, mentally repeating this mantra can increase your focus and overall alertness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-meaning-of-shanti-in-sanskrit\">The meaning of \u201cShanti\u201d in Sanskrit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What about \u201cShanti\u201d? In Sanskrit, it stands for \u201cpeace\u201d and \u201ctranquility.\u201d So the \u201cOm Shanti\u201d meaning is \u201cuniversal peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-om-shanti-shanti-shanti-a-wish-for-threefold-peace\">Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti: A wish for threefold peace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti&#8221; is an expression of a wish for universal peace. When you repeat &#8220;Shanti&#8221; three times, you express a wish for peace in three aspects of life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Physical peace in the body, free from illness, pain, and discomfort;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mental peace in the mind, free from stress, anxiety, and negative thoughts; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spiritual peace in the soul, free from ignorance and attachment, and connected to the divine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, &#8220;Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti&#8221; is a wish for threefold physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-pronounce-om\">How to pronounce \u201cOm\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;Om&#8221; is pronounced as &#8220;AUM&#8221; as a single syllable with a long &#8220;O&#8221; sound, followed by a humming &#8220;M&#8221; sound.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To pronounce it correctly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, open your mouth wide and take a deep breath.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As you exhale, start making the &#8220;O&#8221; sound while keeping your lips rounded and your tongue relaxed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gradually close your mouth while still making the sound, which will resonate in your throat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, as you reach the end of the sound, close your mouth fully and make the humming &#8220;M&#8221; sound with your lips closed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can follow guided meditations to get it right. Breathing and making the vibration are key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-om-shanti-symbol\">Om Shanti symbol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Om Shanti is represented as \u0950 \u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f\u2014the phrase is written in the Devanagari script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technically, it doesn&#8217;t have a symbolic representation apart from this phrase, represented in its original form. So \u0950 \u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f is used as a sacred symbol in itself, and the pronounced version of it is a mantra you can say to greet someone, kiss farewell, or affirm a state of peace and tranquility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/04\/3187fbd7-om-shanti-symbol.webp\" alt=\"Om Shanti Symbol\" class=\"wp-image-76138\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/04\/3187fbd7-om-shanti-symbol.webp 1080w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/04\/3187fbd7-om-shanti-symbol-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-om-shanti-meaning-in-yoga\">Om Shanti meaning in yoga<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you greet a fellow yoga practitioner with this mantra, you wish them to experience divine peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of it as a variation on <em>&#8220;Peace be with you,<\/em>&#8221; &#8220;<em>Shalom<\/em>,&#8221; or &#8220;<em>Namaste<\/em>.&#8221; The words may sound different, but they essentially mean the same thing: <em>&#8220;I acknowledge you, and I wish you well.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-use-om-shanti-in-your-life\">How to use Om Shanti in your life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cOm Shanti\u201d mantra is very versatile, as you can use it in a plethora of ways to bring more inner peace and tranquility into your life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-mantra-meditation\">1.
