Shum.tyam is a greeting in Rehnadee Shum. It is used amongst Shum meditators to greet each other when they meet or part ways. It can be a hello, hi, good morning, good day, welcome, goodbye, good night or farewell. Shum.tyam is a 4th Dimension Image-Portrait which means it emanates from the Fourth Chakra, the Heart Chakra. Any common hand gesture used for greeting can be used with Shum.tyam. Palms pressed together, right hand to the heart, a handshake or a hug. The greeter initiates the gesture. It can be what they are most comfortable with or according to the prevalent culture of the meeting.

Shum.tyam is also used as a blessing for beginning new endeavours and wishing the best possible outcome for the receipient. This can be done simply by sharing warm wishes and positive thoughts and words or more specifically the blessings can be spiritually transmitted to the receipient through a meditation. This meditation is the Shum.tyam Shumnam which involves packaging good feelings represented through the colours of the rainbow and sending it to the receiver through Fourth Dimensional space.
