How to Do a Shanti Path
- 1). Wash your face and hands. You should be clean and refreshed before beginning any spiritual practice.
- 2). Light a candle and incense in a dimly lit, quiet room.
- 3). Sit in a lotus position or in a straight chair. Keep your spine erect and rest your hands on your knees, in your lap or with palms together resting on your chest in the Namaste or prayer position.
- 4). Chant "Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti." "Om" is considered the sound from which all other sounds were formed and symbolizes everything in the universe. "Shanti" means peace.
