It&#8217;s the first, original vibration, representing the birth, death and re-birth process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern adaptation:<\/strong> Chanting the sound OM brings us into harmonic resonance with the universe \u2013 this is a scientific fact! OM is said to vibrate at 432 Hertz, which is the natural musical pitch of the Universe, as opposed to 440\u00a0Hertz, which is the frequency of most modern music.<\/p>\n<p>Decreasing your frequency to coincide with that of the Universe stills the fluctuations of the mind, allowing you to practice yoga through sound. OM is an idyllic way to begin and end a yoga or <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/tag\/meditation\">mediation practice<\/a>, and also comes in handy when you just need to chill out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)<\/strong> <strong>Mantra: <\/strong><em>Om Namah Shivaya<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Translation:<\/strong>\u00a0I bow to Shiva, the supreme deity of transformation who represents the truest, highest self.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern adaptation:<\/strong> In the book <i>Eat Pray Love<\/i>, Elizabeth Gilbert is given this mantra by her Guru, which she lovingly refers to as the \u201cAmazing Grace of Sanskrit.\u201d Her interpretation is,<em> \u201cI honor the divinity within myself.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This is a great mantra to help build <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/0-5153\/15-ConfidenceBoosting-Quotes.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">self-confidence<\/a>, reminding us that we are all made up of divine energy and should treat ourselves accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong> <strong>Mantra:<\/strong> <em>Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Translation:<\/strong>\u00a0May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/tag\/happiness\">happiness<\/a> and to that freedom for all<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern adaptation:<\/strong> Most commonly associated with the <a href=\"http:\/\/jivamuktiyoga.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jivamukti Yoga School<\/a>, this mantra is a powerful way to dedicate yourself to living a life of non-harming and being of service to the greater good. This mantra encourages cooperation, compassion and living in harmony with the environment, animals and our fellow human beings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Mantra:<\/strong> <em>Shanti Mantra\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Om Saha Naavavatu<br \/>\nSaha Nau Bhunaktu<br \/>\nSaha Veeryam Karavaavahai<br \/>\nTejasvi Aavadheetamastu Maa Vidvishaavahai Om<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Translation: <\/strong>May the Lord protect and bless us. May he nourish us, giving us strength to work together for the good of humanity. May our learning be brilliant and purposeful. May we never turn against one another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern adaptation:<\/strong> A perfect mantra to start a yoga class, a new day, or even a new business with. It unites the participants and sets a tone of non-competitiveness, unity, and working together\u00a0towards a common goal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Mantra:<\/strong> <em>Om Gum Ganapatayei Namah<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Translation: <\/strong>I bow to the elephant-faced deity [Ganesh] who is capable of removing all obstacles. I pray for blessings and protection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern adaptation:\u00a0<\/strong> In Hindu teachings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/0-4552\/Remove-Obstacles-with-This-Ganesh-Mantra.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ganesh<\/a> is known as the god of wisdom and success and the destroyer of obstacles.
