I · E · O · U · A
The five vowels, one after another, each drawn out on a single long breath: Iiiii… Eeeee… Ooooo… Uuuuu… Aaaaa…
After each vowel there is a silence. Sound it back in that quiet, on one long breath.
Breathing and mantras
The breath and the voice can calm the mind, steady the mood and move the energy. Choose a practice, press Begin, and follow the golden circle.
Ready

Hear the Master
A few recordings of Master Samael survive. They are old and the sound is thin, but it is his voice, and there is no better teacher of how a mantra is sung.

The vowel I, seven times
Iiiiiiii… held long and clear, seven times over, with a pause between each one.
After each vowel there is a silence. Sound it back in that quiet, on one long breath.
