We need a recovery of the sacred in our secular world. Because the mental, emotional, and psychological struggles haunting society right now can't be solved without addressing meaning, purpose, and the longing for connection to something beyond ourselves.In other words, spiritual health is an essential part of mental health.An attorney, religious scholar, and university chaplain, Dr. Varun Soni is Dean of Religious Life at the University of Southern California, and is leading us back to our true north, through spacious and life-giving spiritual conversations and sacred practices that realign us to our values and identity.In this conversation with Varun Soni, we discuss:Finding the sacred in our secular culture.Religious pluralism and what it means to build trust that reaches across religious lines of difference.The transformative power of finding your “truth north”—your North Star—to orient our journeys of faith and spirituality.Varun shares six pillars of flourishing; how to align our actions with our values; and the benefit of listening to the cultural narratives and stories we tell.He reflects on the missing elements of spirituality in our understanding of mental health today, evidenced in his work with teens and emerging adults.He offers us a Hindu meditative practice to provide inner clarity, stability, and calm.And he comments on compassion and a cultivation sacred spiritual practices to counteract the loneliness, anguish, and suffering in our world.Show NotesDr. Pam King welcomes Varun Soni, Dean of Religious and Spiritual Life at USCJourney from Hindu attorney to first Hindu Dean of Religious and Spiritual Life in the U.S.“What does it mean to be Indian?

Are you ready to release stress and lower your heart rate? This meditation will help your body enter a state of relaxation and connection. By chanting So Hum, (which means I AM that ... that referring to all of creation, the One breathing us all), it helps us to deepen into Oneness and preparation for the silence of your soul. Humming stimulates your vagus nerve and releases your fight-or-flight response. When the vagus nerve is stimulated it activates your parasympathetic nervous system. That helps you to calm down, lower your blood pressure and makes your tummy happy.

Ta medytacja z mantrą So Hum na koncentrację pomoże Ci wyciszyć umysł, skupić uwagę i odnaleźć wewnętrzny spokój. Jest ona również znana jako medytacja japa, w tej praktyce powtarzanie określonego słowa, pomoże Ci się skoncentrować i ćwiczyć „mięsień” uważności. W Indiach często porównuje się umysł do słonia w tym sensie, że niewyszkolony słoń może zniszczyć całą wioskę. Podczas gdy wyszkolony słoń może wykonać pracę 1000 mężczyzn i kobiet. I podobnie, niewyszkolony umysł może zniszczyć całe życie osoby; kiedy wytrenowany umysł może przynieść korzyści całej ludzkości. Tak też zrobiły wielkie postacie jak Gandhi, Matka Teresa czy Nelson Mandela.

Udana Vayu is the upward-moving, ascending and radiant life-force from the top of the heart and base of the throat. As it is active primarily in the region between the heart and the head, it is said to bring Prana from the energy centre, Anahata Chakra through Vishuddha Chakra to Ajna Chakra, which directs the flow of Prana from the lower to the higher planes of consciousness manifesting a hearts desire as it creatively expresses itself and influences awakening. This Vayu is also responsible for taking the mind from waking to sleep, from sleep to dreaming and then to deep dreamless sleep -Turya – to higher planes of existence. When we focus a mindful concentration in practice on Udana Vayu the results leave us feeling connected, balanced and strong, we stand tall with integrity. Our presence when Udana Vayu is flowing we are joyous, enthusiastic, alert, articulate, and we have epiphanies, insights, revelations and visions.This meditation will use the tool Jaladhara Bandha to help trace the movements Udana Vayu and Mudras to seal in the Prana around the space between the heart and the head. Verbal chanting of OM and mental chanting of SO HUM and HUM SA will be used to connect to the vibration and pulse of Prana in this area. Kriya practices will also be used to actively clear the physical and subtle pathways for Prana to heal, transform and inspire the student to benefit from focusing on Pran, Apana, Vyana and Samana Vayus and how Udana Vayu relates to this Pranic movement. Leaving the student feeling lasting fulfilment of their intention of practice, containment in their embodiment and liberation from any previous pain or suffering.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Eine Meditation für pures Wohlgefühl. Erlebe bedingungslose Freude, die aus deinem Ursprung hervorgeht. In dieser intuitiven Meditation zu dem stillen Sanskrit Mantra SO HAM mit der Bedeutung „Ich bin das“, führe ich dich mit meiner Stimme zu deiner inneren Vollkommenheit. Ziel der Meditation ist es, dass du mithilfe deines natürlichen Atems dein Sosein mehr und mehr annehmen kannst und deine innere Stärke und wahrhafte Größe findest. ‚So Ham‘ oder auch ‚Soham‘ geschrieben, (englisch: So Hum) ist ein uraltes Sanskrit Mantra (Klangkörper Silbe, Lied, Spruch) und symbolisiert unseren Atem. Ham steht auch für Kreativität und symbolisiert Gedanken, Bewusstsein und Tatkraft. Den Schriften zur Folge befreit die Rezitation dieses Mantras von negativen Handlungen und Geisteshaltungen, vor allem uns selbst gegenüber. Unsere individuelle Seele wiederholt das Mantra So Ham mit unserer natürlichen Atmung im Schnitt 21600 mal innerhalb von 24 Stunden. Auch im Schlaf setzt sich die Wiederholung des Mantras fort. So Ham ist der Lebensatem, OM symbolisiert die Seele des Atems. Konzentriert man sich auf die Atmung, wird man feststellen, daß sein Rhythmus sich stark verlangsamt, wenn die Konzentration sich vertieft. Die Wiederholung des So Ham wird allmählich ganz fortfallen, wenn tiefe Konzentration erreicht ist. Das Bewusstsein wird sehr ruhig und du spürst, wie du auf allen Ebenen von tiefer, ursprünglicher Freude durchflutet wirst. Es ist wie ein Kribbeln im ganzen Körper. Die Freude entspringt der Bewusstwerdung, dass du Eins geworden bist mit deinem Höchsten Selbst. Meditations-Beginn: Minute 00:54 Viel Freude und horizonterweiternde Erfahrungen auf der Reise zu deinem höchsten Selbst wünsche ich dir. ...weil du Liebe bist. Deine Lara Schreibe mir liebend gern, wie dir die Meditation gefallen hat und welche Erkenntnisse du für dein eigenes Leben gewonnen hast.

We started the daily practice because we want people to sing mantras daily. Mantras are from ancient teaching and are used with the intention of helping us shine a light on parts of ourselves we want to illuminate and dive deeper into. When we repeat a mantra it helps calm our minds and unites our body and mind. This podcast was created to make it really easy for you to listen to a new mantra each week and repeat it all week long. To embody the teachings and become the prayer. It's mid-January and most people have thrown their hands in the air and abandoned their resolutions. Mostly because they try to do too much. Our resolution is to maintain consistency through simplicity with all things mantra. Anywhere, anytime! We encourage you to make the space daily to check out to check-in. So Hum is the mantra for this week, it's a Bija Mantra and we love it. Your homework this week is to go out into nature and create some vibration in the world as you sing So Hum.

Soham or Sohum is a Hindu mantra, meaning "I am She/He/That" in Sanskrit. In Vedic philosophy, it means identifying oneself with the universe or ultimate reality. So Hum mantra symbolizes the fact that we are all connected to the universal energy that is constantly supporting and nourishing us in. As Soham meditation helps us to focus, we can get a clearer image of our surroundings, and with our increasing levels of concentration, it helps us to remember more, and with greater clarity. It helps one to discover his/her/their inner self, and in doing so, one can go about his daily chores and practices with vividness.

#025:  This episode came about because so many people I know insist they can't meditate because they “suck” at it. My thoughts on this and a simple way to get started with meditation are recorded here. TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODEWe suck at any new skill when we first begin. Don't give up on meditating because you tried it a couple of times and it didn't go well.The meditation sessions that feel like an absolute mess are often the sessions where you learn the most.Meditation has many incredible health benefits, including stress relief, mood improvement, heart health, and more.Mantra meditation is a wonderful form of meditation, especially when you are beginning your meditation practice. Mantra literally means “mind vehicle.” I like the mantra “So Hum” which means, “I am one with the universe and all of creation.”How long you meditate is less important than how consistently you meditate.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Autobiography of a YogiTranscendental MeditationWe Are The LuckiestThe Pregnancy ProtocolThank you so much for listening!

Mantra is a meditation technique that helps you to take your mind to quieter, calmer levels of thinking. Mantras are often referred to as vehicles for the mind because with focus on the repetition of a mantra, other thoughts swimming in the mind dissipate and the mind shifts toward mental clarity and stillness.The So Hum mantra has a special meaning in Vedic philosophy and is often the mantra given to those new to the practices of yoga and meditation.So Hum is a phrase comprised of two Sanskrit words. The literal translations are:So: “That” Hum: “I” Therefore, the translation of So Hum is “I Am That.” According to many Vedic scholars, “That” refers to the Universe, and therefore, the So Hum mantra symbolizes that we are all connected to the universal energy which continually nourishes and supports us. It is of the same concept of “oneness”, of being one with the Universe, and all that is in it.So when we chant the So Hum mantra in our mind while meditating, we are saying, “I am ONE with the universe.”Mary shares with you the benefits of practicing this mantra with the Dhyana Mudra.

El mantra “So Hum” se le conoce como el mantra de la respiración. Ya que, el sonido de cada sílaba se le relaciona a una parte del ciclo de la respiración. “So” es el sonido de la inhalación y “Hum” el sonido de la exhalación. Al llevar la atención a la respiración ayuda a anclar la atención en la respiración y el mantra. Con ello concentras tu atención y permites generar un estado propicio para llegar a la meditación. El significado de “So Hum” se deriva del sánscrito y significa “yo soy “ que significa la identificación con el universo o realidad ultima. Es un mantra que busca generar un espacio para la introspección. A partir de esta concentración creas un momento para recordar tu conexión con la energía universal que nutre y sostiene la vida.

When we choose to create silence within, we try to make the external environment and our physical self conducive to take steps towards meditation and allow meditation to happen. One way to allow Meditation to happen is by “Ajapa Japa “ that is to continuously think of a vibrational sound of breath “So-Hum”, Amen, universal sound OHM, any mantra, a divine name which your soul is connected to with utter faith, or to a Phrase or any word like joy, peace, strength which resonates to you. This helps our mind to think about what you provided it to think on, rather than allowing it to wander into the past or future, fear or fantasy. This way we allow our mind to stay in present, creating inner silence and peace within our mind and in our internal dialogue. We start cultivating to live every moment meditatively. We create that inner silence and get in touch with our inner divinity. we start seeing the positive transformation in our lives. Our life starts flowing effortlessly, our desires and intentions starts becoming reality easily and we start seeing enhancement in our physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, Visit our website iavani.com for more mediation audio and classes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/iavani/message

While mantra practice is a departure from how I normally teach meditation, it is quite often a part of my personal meditation practice. One of the most significant moments of my life was sitting on the banks of the Ganges river and chanting the Gayatri mantra as the sun rose.  Chants and mantras can be found across continents, cultures, time and religions. With the double bonus of giving your mind a tool to assist in concentration AND offering subtle intentions to the deepest part of your consciousness, it is a powerful practice and one that is very accessible to beginners. Join me in today's episode of The Mindful Minute as we explore mantra meditation through a secular lens. We will be practicing with one of the first mantras taught in meditation: So Hum.

In this meditation, We bring awareness to “So Hum” mantra. The Vedic mantra "So Hum" is a reflection of the vibrational sound of the breath as cognized by the ancient sages and seekers: “So” of the inhale and “Hum” of the exhale. It also carries a contemplative meaning: "I am that" (so = "I am" and hum = "that"). In the Vedic philosophy it means identifying oneself with the universe or ultimate reality. That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings, who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being -- I am that. Amritbindu Upanishad “That which permeates all, which nothing transcends and which, like the universal space around us, fills everything completely from within and without, that Supreme non-dual Brahman -- that thou art.” Sankaracharya The So Hum meditation is a simple but powerful tool that uses the breath and the repetition of a mantra to quiet the mind and relax the body. This meditation has used the background ‘So Hum” Marta sung beautifully by A Choir group played on Youtube by the meditative mind. This meditation will help us move beyond our mind's busy chatter to the peace of present moment awareness. This meditation is also about connecting to mother earth and feeling grounded, connected, and supported. To touch base to our inner silence, the source of infinite creativity, infinite potentiality, infinite connectedness, peace, love, and blissfulness to manifest the same in our lives.
