Yogis joining my new classes @schloss_roxburghe and Priorwood House, Scotland will have experienced a mantra where we join our voices (or simply listen) at the beginning and end of classes.
Mantra translates from Sanskrit as MAN = mind and TRA = tune. Mantra = tuning the mind. We use mantra as a tool to support our minds to reach a single-focused attention without distraction!
What does it mean?
OM (pronounced A-U-M) is a primal, most elemental vibrational sound of the universe
A - creating sound from the base of the lungs
U - preserving the sound as it rises through the body
M - destroying (finishing) the sound in the head with focus on the third eye/ajna chakra (space between the eyebrows)
SHANTI - we repeat 3 times meaning peace in me, peace in you, peace in the universe...
OM is understood to have high pranic life force energy giving our practice and intentions a higher strength and power!
