You can meditate in any amount of time you have available. If you only have five minutes to spare, you can still meditate. Sit in a chair that is comfortable and upright. 

• Close your eyes for a minute and breathe deeply to relax. Be aware of your feelings in both mind and body.

• Repeat the mantra So Hum silently to yourself, slowly synchronizing your breath with the mantra.

• While inhaling, repeat silently the phrase " So

• While you are exhaling, repeat silently the phrase " hum "

• Continue to breathe slowly, aligning your mantra with your breath. Be careful not to rush if your mantra speeds up.

• You can align your mantra with your breathing by bringing your attention back to it each time your mind wanders.

As soon as the timer rings, release your mantra gently and focus your attention on your breathing. Sit quietly for about a minute before you open your eyes.

Consider the meaning of So Humming during this quiet time. Consider the idea that every time you breathe, you connect to all the living beings of the Universe, taking in the same expansive energy. In that space, the two merge into one, supporting each other and the world.
