Calming Meditation

Friend, this meditation provides a calming effect on our soul.

Let us discover the cradle of god, the calm and joy of the universe, forever present as we practice meditation.

To begin this meditation, find a comfortable and quiet place. Now, be seated in a posture you find most relaxing.

Place your palms facing up on your knees, forefinger and thumb touching.

Bring your attention to the breath. Begin to employ the simple words So hum (“I am that”). On the inhale, say So, and on the exhale, say hum. Keep your focus on the sensation of your breath while silently repeating the sacred syllables So hum.

Let your mind come to stillness. There is no place to go, nothing to do, So hum, So hum. If a thought arises, come back to saying So hum.

Once you have continued this meditation for 10 to 20 minutes, bring your hands together in prayer position to immerse yourself in the peaceful energy cultivated through your meditation.
