Do it naturally and try not to control the inhaling and exhaling.
Relax completely and focus only on your breathing. If it results hard for you to ignore the surrounding noise, a simple trick can help you in the beginning – use earplugs (until you learn to ignore what can be heard around you). Imagine three circles around you and make the decision for your mind not to cross them and not to let any thoughts or sounds to penetrate those circles and reach your mind. Try to focus exclusively on yourself and to detach your mind from everything around (speech, movements, noises, music). You just have to find a calm corner at home, make yourself comfortable and relax.Īsk your family not to bother you for a while, sit or lie down comfortably. You don’t need any special preparation for this meditation. That’s how you can see yourself from an external point of view and get closer to fulfilling the aims that are universally important – Dharma, Kama, Artha, and supreme one – liberation or Moksha. Improving the technique leads to enlightenment, immediate finding of solutions for important issues. Inhaling and exhaling not only releases accumulated stress and tension. It doesn’t take long and only involves your wish to practice and… breathing.īreathing is how one gets rid of all accumulated emotions and questions that bother him, of choices pending to be made, of self-pity, silent laments and sorrows, uncried tears… everything that takes your breath away and prevents you from sleeping all night long. Soham is a universal meditation method which doesn’t require long training. But it is even more important that they gain internal purity, concentration and peace which bring them closer to their liberation, or Moksha. People who practice Soham meditation regularly start feeling stronger the connection between their internal masculine and feminine principles, the union of Shiva and Shakti. That is how practitioners invest in this simple phrase the meaning that represents the best their own understanding. It involves saying the Soham mantra which means “I am” or “I am the Universe”. This meditation is different from other meditation techniques. What is particular about Soham meditation?Īccording to some sources, Shiva himself was the one who gave this mantra to people and repeating Soham the human being can merge with Shiva and his pure mind. If you learn to listen to your own breathing and to focus on yourself, it shall be much easier for you to find your way to your Kama, Dharma and Artha. It is usually used in pranayama techniques but actually every person repeats it unconsciously with every breath taken. You will find out that when you inhale there is a sound that sounds very much like “Sooo”, and when you exhale the sound reminds of “Haaam”.Īpart from a breathing mantra, Soham is also a mantra aiming at the definite mind concentration. Listen to the sound of your own breathing and hear the sound you make when inhaling and exhaling. If you don’t believe it, you can check it with a simple experiment. Soham is considered to be a breathing mantra because “So” is the sound of inhalation and “Ham” – that of exhalation. The best part of it is that everyone can practice this meditation, regardless of how advanced he or she is in meditation practices. Soham is an easy meditation that can help us open our mind towards the world and perceive the events in a different way. We all suffer from anxiety, unresolved problems and situations without apparent exit but the truth is that there is a solution for every problem and we just need to desire to find it.
