So Hum

SO HUM---Say it just like it is spelled---SO HUM. Now breathe in and silently say SO. On the exhale, silently say HUM. Close your eyes and keep going. You are using the mantra SO HUM to concentrate on your breath. This is basic meditation.

If you want, find a comfortable seated position with your feet flat on the floor. If your mind wanders, come back to your inspiration, your exhale and SO HUM. Start with 5 minutes and work your way up to 20-30.

SO can be translated as "I am" and HUM can be translated as "That". SO HUM can mean, "I am That"---that breathing through us all.

Namaste,


Dean
