Soham Meditation

Soham is one of the mantras. A mantra is a word specially used by Indian Yogis to bring some beneficial results to humanity at large when repeated mentally or orally. Mantras need not have any specific meaning as such. The Vedas state that the word Soham has special significance to produce peace and tranquillity.

Technique

Bring your total attention on breathing as you have done in Vipassana meditation. Instead of merely observing your breathing process, mentally repeat the word Soham, synchronising it with your breath.

When you inhale, mentally repeat the sound SO and while exhaling say HAM. As you breathe in and out the sound Soham should be repeated.
