Soham dhyana

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah

In-breath makes a subtle sound which resembles the sound 'sooo'. Out-breath makes a subtle sound which resembles the sound 'ham'. Human beings do this so-ham japa continuously, thus this japa of soham is called 'ajapa japa'. Becomming aware of this sound while breathing is called soham dhyana. 

How to do :
Sit silently, close your eyes and listen to the sound of your breathing. Do not mentally chant so-ham or try to listen to sounds that resemble 'so' and 'ham'. Instead just listen to the natural sound of breathing. For some people the sound may be more, for some, it may be very silent. No matter of the volume of the sound, listen to the sound of breathing. 

As we listen to the subtle sound of breathing, mind becomes extremely peaceful.
