Śivoham Śivoham Śivoham Śivoham
Meaning
I am the form of pure consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva. I am Shiva. This mantra is not only a devotional chant, but also a reminder of self-realization. It guides the seeker beyond body, mind, emotions, and worldly worries — toward the silent awareness within. Listening to or chanting this peaceful Shiva Mantra is traditionally used for meditation, spiritual awakening, inner peace, mantra chanting, prayer, emotional release, and deep relaxation.
About this mantra
Shivoham is deeply connected with the Advaita Vedanta tradition and is widely known from the powerful refrain of Nirvana Shatakam / Atma Shatakam, traditionally attributed to Adi Shankaracharya: Chidananda Rupah Shivoham Shivoham चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम्
How to use it
Play this chant softly as you lie down for sleep, or in the quiet of early morning. Dim the lights, breathe slowly, and let the sound repeat without effort — there is nothing to do but listen. You may chant along under your breath, or simply rest in Shiva's presence and let the vibration carry you into stillness.
The recording runs for hours, but you don't need all of it — even 21 minutes a day is enough to feel the benefit. Listen for as long as feels right, or let it play gently through the night.
