So Hum Meditation

Join Yogi Cam from https://www.foundationmethod.com to explore this traditional Vedic “So Hum” Meditation.
So Hum literally translates from Sanskrit into “I am that” “So” meaning “That” and “Hum” meaning “I”.
In this meditation we observe and connect with the body’s natural sound of the tidal breath, “So” the sound of the inhale and “hum” the exhale.
This means on a soul level your body and mind already resonate the frenetic tones of this simple and profound mantra.
I also add in a visualization aspect of a energy ball for this version.
So as we practice you may wish to contemplate the fundamental interdependence of all things and you in creation , as we inhale we feel our connection with every cell and energy in the universe and as we exhale we let go the ego and surrender to the presence of “I am that”.

To use – Put in headphones for the added binaural beats brain wave balancing, do not use while driving, best used lying down.

How to Practice So Hum Meditation Script

Select a quiet, comfortable place. Sit in Sukhasana (cross legged position) or lying down. If you’re not comfortable in this position, then sit on a chair or couch. Keep your spine straight, close your eyes, and keep your hands rested on your knees with palms facing upwards to be open and receive energy touching the thumb and first finger or palms down to ground you into the earth
Take a few deep breaths. Observe the inflow and outflow of breath like the gentle tidal flows of the ocean. Gently lengthen and deepen your breath so it feels a full range but not forced at all, soft , slow and sweet.
So Hum literally translates into “I am that” “So” meaning “That” and “Hum” meaning “I” . In this meditation we observe and connect with the body’s natural sound of the tidal breath, “So” the sound of the inhale and “hum” the exhale. This means on a soul level your body and mind already resonate the frenetic tones of this simple and profound mantra. So as we practice you may wish to contemplate the fundamental interdependence of all things and you in creation , as we inhale we feel our connection with every cell and energy in the universe and as we exhale we let go the ego and surrender to the presence of “I am that”
Now take a deep breath and as you inhale, think of the word So , observe the gentle sound washing over the back of the throat sounding “so” as It does.
As you exhale, think of the word Hum and observe the breath passing the vocal cords notice the faint sound of “Hum” as it does and continue with So Hum meditation for 10 minutes..and I will sound chimes to bring the exercise to a close.
Whenever you get distracted by a thought, quietly bring your mind back to the breath, silently repeating So Hum.
Now as you continue visualize a small ball of white light settled at the base of your spine and as you inhale with the mantra “So” watch it float all the way to the crown of your head , as you exhale with the mantra “Hum” watch it float all the way down your spine to the base
Continue to observe your breath as you mentally chant the So Hum mantra.
Whenever you get distracted by a thought, quietly bring your mind back to the breath, silently repeating So Hum.
Continue with So Hum meditation for 5 minutes.
