Soham Sadhana is an ancient yogic practice based on the synchronization of breath and mantra. The mantra ‘Soham’ literally means ‘I am that,’ symbolizing the realization of non-dual consciousness. In this practice, the syllable ‘So’ is mentally recited during inhalation and “Ham” during exhalation. The practitioner generally sits in Sukhasana or Padmasana while focusing awareness on the Ajna Chakra (the brow center) or the heart center.

Regular practice has been shown to enhance mental health by reducing stress and anxiety, alleviating depressive symptoms, improving concentration and memory, and fostering emotional stability. Neuroscientific research indicates that mantra meditation increases theta and alpha brain wave activity, both of which are associated with calmness and deep meditative states. Soham Sadhana also helps in balancing pranic energy and purifying the nadis, gradually guiding the practitioner toward self-realization and the experience of non-dual awareness.
