Soham: I Am That

Other names for Soham meditation are Hamsa, Hansa, and So Hum. Soham is a Sanskrit phrases that meaning "to connect oneself with ultimate truth" or "to identify oneself with the world." Soham meditation has several advantages.

This meditation is broken into two parts: The sound of inhalation is Sooo, while the sound of expiration is Hum. These two components combine to determine a person's breathing pattern. It is one of the most important mantras in Kriya and Tantric yoga. If the letters S and H are eliminated, it sounds like the Hindu mantra 'OM.' to get the most out of this style of meditation; it is advised that you mentally repeat the mantra while meditating. Soham meditation has a positive impact and makes individuals feel joyous and peaceful internally.

Can we regard Soham to be a divine name?

The ultimate Name of God, according to the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, is "In the beginning this (world) was merely the Supreme Self in the shape of a person."
Sohum is a Mantra as well as the Eternal Name of God and Man. A mantra is any sound pattern that, via its intrinsic vibration, causes an inner or outside transformation. As a result, Soham is a mantra—the highest mantra. The secret to its dominance is that it is also the Divine Name of God, Parmataman, and the individual Self, Jivataman. The two earliest Upanishads—the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad and the Isha Upanishad—indicate this.

The Breath of Soham

To fulfil its full potential, the Soham Bhava transforms into the Soham Breath inside everyone. According to the Rig Veda, the One "breathed breathlessly" in the beginning. The Supreme Being and individual creatures are united by the Soham Breath, which is the archetypal breath inside God and all beings.
Yoga and Yogi are synonymous with the Soham Breath. On a cosmic level, the Holy Breath, Agia Pneuma, Holy Spirit, and Holy Light are the beginnings of all things, from which all things flow and into which all things finally resolve. The Primal Breath within all creatures allows them to manifest, evolve, and return to their Source.

What is the meaning of the chant so hum?

"That is me." The yoga mantra "so hum" is both a reflection of the sound of the breath and a meditative meaning: "I am that" (so = "I am" and hum = "that"). "That" thus alludes to all of creation, the one who breathes us all.
