1. Start with your dominant hand in a "5" handshape. This means your fingers are spread out, like you are holding a large object.
2. Bring your hand down to your chest, palm facing you.
3. Move your hand out and away from your chest in a smooth, circular motion. The motion is similar to opening a door or pushing something away.
Important Note: The sign for "peace" can also be used to sign "quiet" or "silence". The context of the conversation will usually make it clear which meaning is intended.
