In general ॐ नमः शिवाय means “I Bow down to Shiva”, so, in a way, it means bowing down to your own self as Shiva
resides in all as own consciousness.
The mantra is said to be the five-syllable mantra, na ma si va ya;
na represents earth,
ma water,
si fire,
va air, and
ya ether.
For newbies to this.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.
