workshops under the guidance of a certified teacher. Once learned, practitioners often use the audio during Group Follow-up sessions
The Sudarshan Kriya and Soham audio practice represent complementary, not competing, technologies of self-regulation. Soham audio serves as an accessible, low-risk entry point that trains the breath-mind connection via auditory entrainment, while Sudarshan Kriya provides a more potent, higher-load intervention for deep stress release. Their combined use is theoretically sound, qualitatively supported, and warrants formal investigation. For the modern practitioner struggling with attention, starting with “So-Ham” in the ears may be the first step toward the silent, cyclic breath of Sudarshan.
A: No. Sudarshan Kriya is the rhythmic breathing cycle developed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Soham Kriya is a separate, gentler technique focusing on mantra repetition with natural breath. The Sudarshan Kriya Soham audio refers to integrating the Soham mantra into the Sudarshan Kriya practice.
