I have chanted Ang Sang Wahe Guru while driving in my car to job interviews, while walking home on shaky legs post-presidential election, and while kneeling on the floor as my child had a huge meltdown.
Below are instructions to meditate on your own with the mantra Ang Sang Wahe Guru. May you continue to Shine Your Light wherever you can.
Blessings and Sat Nam,

To really connect with this mantra, sit in easy pose with a straight spine and place your hands in Gian Mudra (thumb and forefinger touching). Take as much time as you need...try 11 minutes or 31 minutes. Feel your inner guidance, the Source Energy within each cell (the Ang Sang Wahe Guru), and you will know the appropriate amount of time for YOU to chant.
