Kotodama 59

“Soooo” is the sound of inhaling.

“Hmmmm” is the sound of exhaling.

Together, the cycle of breathing is “Soham”, meaning “I am” in Sanskrit.

As a mantra, “I am” implies pure being; not a specified being or self, just ultimate reality (God).

Cross-culturally, in the Bible, “I am” is how God self-identifies.
