Oneness Prayers – Everything is Interconnected

When you engage in prayer from an Advaitic perspective, you bring awareness to the understanding that everything is interconnected. You can use affirmations like “So’ham asmi,” which means “I am That,” to remind yourself of your unity with the divine.

Besides “So’ham asmi,” another powerful Advaitic prayer is “Shivoham,” which means “I am Shiva.” This affirmation reinforces the understanding of oneness with the divine, recognizing that you are not separate from the ultimate reality.

You can also use the mantra “Tat Tvam Asi,” which translates to “That Thou Art.” This phrase encapsulates the essence of non-duality, reminding you that your true nature is one with the absolute.
