Om or Aum is a mantra we use during yogic practices. Aum is the sound of the universe. It is the sound we hear in the leaves, when we breath – in everything.
Aum also the sound of our chakras – A represents the lower three chakras the root, sacral and solar plexus chakra. U represents the middle three chakras, the solar plexus , heart and throat chakra. Finally the M represents the final highest three chakras, throat, third eye and crown chakra.
The sound can come from these chakras. Focus on the lower three when chanting the A and continue like this all the way up when you chant.
Shaanti means peace. The three shaanti’s we chant for different peace wishes. Since we are all interconnected we wish peace for all.
First shaanti: “I want peace in myself”
Second shaanti: “I want peace on the earth”
Third shaanti: “I want peace in the universe”
