How to practise
- Sit comfortably with a straight spine and the eyes gently closed.
- Let the breath flow naturally without controlling it.
- As you breathe in, silently hear the sound 'So'.
- As you breathe out, silently hear the sound 'Hum'.
- Let the sounds ride along with the breath, soft and effortless.
- When the mind wanders, gently return to 'So' and 'Hum'.
- Continue for the chosen time, then sit quietly before opening the eyes.
