Activating Morning Meditation | Kapalabhati, So'Ham & Gayatri Mantra
Start your morning by awakening your energy, grounding your body, and creating a clear and conscious space for the day ahead. ☀️
This meditation combines active breathwork, mantra meditation, and sacred chanting into one morning practice.
We begin with three rounds of Kapalabhati, including a few variations, to activate the body, raise and circulate energy, awaken the mind, and establish a grounded and vibrant state.
From there, we transition into a "So Ham" meditation, using the natural rhythm of the breath and the bija sounds:
So = associated with the inward/upward current of energy
Ham = associated with the outward/downward current of energy
You can practice with the mantra, or eventually let go of the sounds and simply rest with the natural breath, allowing the meditation to become more effortless and spacious.
We close the practice by chanting the Gayatri Mantra, an ancient Vedic prayer invoking the illuminating power of Savitur — the divine source of light and consciousness. A beautiful way to turn inward while welcoming the light of a new day.

Om Bhur Bhuvah Svaha
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Deva sya Dhimahi
Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat

Calling Sun Goddess
That my heart may be illuminated
Cleanse me of all delusion
So I can shine forth like thou art shining.
