We sit silently and monitor our breath in So-Hum meditation, much as we do in Empty Bowl meditation, but we add the sounds So on inhalation and Hum on expiration. (Only quietly; the noises are not spoken loudly.)
It becomes light when music, breath, and consciousness come together. Every atom emits light and heat energy, which is a quantum wave, as we've seen.
When we pay attention to our breath and begin to feel So-Hum, So-Hum with it, our breath transforms into a quantum wave that emits light.
The third eye is where you may view the brightness of life. Expiration (breathing out) is the opposite of inspiration (breathing in).
With its first breath, a child's existence reveals itself with inspiration.
When someone dies, we refer to him as having expired. The air has been extinguished. The word hum implies "I" or "individual ego," as well as "He, the Divine."
So, as So enters, life force enters, and Hum, ego, our finite personality, exits in the natural path of So-Hum meditation.
That is what So-Hum meditation is all about. You are inhaling life when you inhale So.
You are expelling ego and restriction as you exhale Hum.
When So-Hum meditation is done correctly, it leads to the individual's unification with the global Cosmic Consciousness.
You will move beyond cognition, time and space, cause, and effect, and so forth. Limitations will be obliterated.
Your consciousness
will empty itself, and because of that emptying, it will expand, bringing
serenity and joy as a blessing.
