Shanti

The Sanskrit word shanti translates into peace in English. It is a mantra I have been chanting each morning upon waking and one that I carry with me throughout my days and into each interaction with others.

This week, I invite you to embrace ways to welcome peace into your body, mind, and heart. Share this peace with others via each thought and action. Help spread peace through all of your interactions.

Listen | If you are feeling like you could use a moment to ground yourself and breathe, click here, sit or stand tall, and listen.

Try This | Pause where you are, and take a few deep breaths in and out through the nose. Pay attention to what is happening in your body without judgment. Notice your thoughts without getting carried away. Observe your reactions to what you experience. Then remember that you are not your thoughts or emotions. You are the awareness within and behind them. Through observation, we practice awareness.
