Developing equanimity of mind is not exciting or glamorous in the usual sense, but equipose offers us the gift of knowing our own heart which is the most precious experience of all.
It takes regular practice to achieve any great feat and that includes creating steadiness of mind. Practicing meditation every day will emancipate you from the incessant chatter of the mind so that you can realize your heart's divine splendor.
The So Hum meditation is easy to learn and uses breath and mantra to still the mind and relax the body. For the best results, practice for twenty minutes twice daily.
Find a place to practice where you will not be disturbed.
Sit comfortably with your spine fully elongated.
Focus on your natural breath for a few minutes.
After a few minutes, inhale through your nose while thinking the word SO. Make the sound last as long as the inhale.
Exhale slowly and fully through your nose while thinking the word HUM.
Continue at your own pace, steadily and silently.
If your mind wanders to other thoughts or sensations, simply begin again by gently refocusing on your breath and mantra.
