Meditation Script:

Finding a comfortable and supported seated position, relax your shoulders, face, fingers,

toes. Feel your sit bones firmly anchored to the support beneath you. Notice

the length of your spine from the tailbone to the crown of your head. Breathe.

Today we’ll focus on the mantra So Hum. A two word Sanskrit phrase meant to

encourage a sense of oneness with all life. “So” means “that.” “Hum” means “I.”

The phrase or mantra taken together to mean, “I am that,” or “I am one with

all.”

As you continue to enjoy deep breaths in and out through your nostrils, bring to mind

the image of the earth as though seen from outer space. In this imagined space

outside of the Earth, but in space, among stars and planets, the sun, and many

moons, you begin to feel yourself in orbit as though you are a planet.

With this sense of oneness with the universe in mind, find a deep breath in through your

nose, open mouth exhale. Deep breath in, sigh it out. Deep breath in, then

repeat to yourself, “So Hum. So Hum. So Hum.” Inhaling, observe any tension in

the body, exhaling soften whatever you can. Deep breath in through your nose,

open mouth exhale. Deep breath in, sigh it out. Deep breath in, repeat, “So

hum. So hum. So hum.” Inhaling observe any busyness of mind. Exhaling, imagine

a calm body of water, letting go whatever you can of those busy thoughts. Deep

breath in through your nose, open mouth exhale. Deep breath in, sigh it out.

Deep breath in, repeat, “So Hum. So Hum. So Hum.” Inhaling, observe any

heaviness of emotion. Exhaling, allow yourself to express or feel or let go

whatever weight you can. Deep breath in, once more, as you exhale, repeat the

mantra, “So Hum. So Hum. So Hum.” Breathe.

Imagine yourself floating through space back into the Earth’s atmosphere, reconnecting

your mind to the space you are physically in. Notice the support beneath your body, the

sounds around you, the scents on the air, any taste on your tongue. Gently blink open

your eyes to notice the objects and shapes and colors and textures in the space you’re

in. Move through your day or into rest, feeling a sense of oneness with all that

surrounds you. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.
