		<description>Concentrate at the root of the nose -- where the air enters the head, which is very close to the Kutastha Chaitanya, the point between the eyebrows.

		<description>Thank you swamiji.This mantra is more effective than the &quot;so hum&quot; mantra.I find that concentrating at point between the eyebrows one goes deep into meditation with out much effort.I also feel more peacefull inside.Thank you.</description>

		<description>Dear Swami Kriyananda, do you recommend that I concentrate on the sensation of breath at the third eye, or concentrate on the inner recitation of &quot;hong sau&quot;- which itself seems to resonate at the third eye? God Bless</description>

		<description>Both are important (concentrating on the breath and on the mantra). The main purpose of the  hong-sau technique is to develop deep calmness, by calming the breath and the mind. One should always concentrate on the breath, wherever one most notices it. If that is at the spiritual eye, then that is a good place to concentrate on the breath. Then, along with the breath, one should mentally say &quot;hong-sau&quot;.</description>
