Yogis,
One final technique for us all
to try! Mantra meditation.
A mantra is a word or a phrase
repeated over and over during meditation. The difference between a mantra
and other words is that mantras are sacred phrases or sounds. They have a
unique vibration that fills us even as we silently repeat them. Aum (om)
would be an example of a mantra.
There are many mantras and if
this is the form of meditation that you were to choose to continue with, you
would either be given a mantra by a teacher, or find one that resonates with
you.
Soham is pronounced
Sooo-hummm. Sooo on the inhale. Huuummmm on the exhale.
The sound of the breath. The sound that already resides in us.
The meaning of Soham is “I am
that”. That we are not separate. We are that – the
universe, the divine, God, the great mystery, nature. Whatever higher
power you can sense.
For some, words help to still
and bring the mind to the one pointed concentration of meditation.
So our awareness comes back to
the breath again as we listen to and repeat the sounds, soooo-hummmm
Every day…..at least 10 minutes
Discovering who I am,
SARAH
