Jonathan Coote's powerful video contribution to 12seconds for Peace speaks volumes for the necessity of engendering the state of peace within oneself. The 'Om Shanti' mantra that he intones here can be translated as 'I am a peaceful soul' or 'ocean of peace' and it's sounding is considered to help in engendering the feeling of peace for the practitioner. Mantra's are sound symbols that carry the energetic essence of the quality that they relate too, and it is this that Jonathan is conveying in his beautiful video here.
Jonathan is a committed spiritual seeker with a background in Christianity, Judaism, Shamanism and Tibetan Buddhism who currently lives in Owen Sound in Ontario, Canada; a place widely known as a spiritual hub that is rich in energy and spiritual awareness. It is this spiritual focus that Jonathan brings to his video and which he wishes to encourage in others.
"I have journeyed to places in meditation that are beyond logic, beyond human reasoning. My attempt here is to try and share...some of this with you. I do have one request before you proceed (with your practice). Perhaps set your preconceptions and what it is you think you know aside and enjoy your journey."

Om Shanti,
Steve Gooch, Founder of 12seconds for Peace
