8/4/2015 0 Comments Saluting to peaceDay two of the Flow and glow Sun salutation challenge and I am flying across the world to see family and friends who I have not seen in a long while. My salutes today are dedicated to sending peace, serenity and kindness to myself, loved ones and the world.
After 11 hours of flying from Perth to Dubai and enduring the hustle and bustle of weaving in and out of travellers trying to find their way to their connecting flights, I definitely needed a dose of me time away from the crowds, so off I went to search for a quiet space to practice my daily sun salutations. I was blessed to stumble across this stunning water feature a spinning world globe and it reminded me I was in a airport surrounded by people from every corner of the world, different cultures, religions and beliefs all in one space at one time I thought it would be nice to include the mantra Om shanti shanti shanti, silently chanting this mantra at the completion of each round sending a message of peace and well wishes for safe travels to everyone. Om shanti is an invocation of peace, it can be used as a parting salutation as a way of sending one off with well wishes of peace i.e. may peace go with you. Om shanti shanti shanti can also be chanted to oneself as it is generally interpreted as finding threefold peace, peace in body, speech and mind i.e. peace in the entirety of ones being. Chanting a mantra as you flow gracefully through your sun salutations can develop a deeper awareness and connection with oneself and the universe. Miles of smiles and Om shanti to you all Naomi
