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.
