Breath · Mantra · Verse · Silence
From noiseto silence.
Ten quiet minutes a day, already planned for you. Gentle pranayama, mantra japa, short verses and stillness — with no account, no streak nagging and nothing to buy.

Start from where you are
What are you carrying today?
Pick whichever sentence is closest. Each one opens a short practice, not a reading list.
Shoonyaka suggests a practice, not a prescription. It does not diagnose anything and does not replace medical or mental-health care.
Five ways in
Learn it, then practise it
Nothing here starts with a countdown. Every practice has a page you can read first — what it is, how it goes, when to skip it — and then a tool that runs it with you.
Daily Sadhana
Eight sequences that string breath, mantra and stillness into one sitting, with a step timer built in. Start here if you would rather not design your own practice.
8 paths · 8–12 minBreathwork
Eight gentle pranayama practices with a guided pacer, per-technique cues and honest contraindications.
8 practicesChanting & Japa
Six mantras with Devanagari, readable transliteration and a mala counter that marks every quarter of the round.
6 mantrasStotrams
Short classical verses with plain-language meaning, so you understand what you are saying.
6 stotramsMeditation
A private timer from one to thirty minutes with a soft bell to open and close. Real silence in between, and nothing to achieve.
1–30 minGuided breath pacer
Follow one gentle rhythm
Select a classical practice or shape a comfortable rhythm of your own. Counts are guides, not goals.
Settle your body and let the first breath arrive naturally.
Press Space to pause or continue
Keep this page visible during practice. Shoonyaka requests screen wake lock when supported; otherwise a completion chime may wait until you return.
Never strain or compete with the count. Stop and breathe normally if you feel dizzy, faint, breathless, panicked, painful, numb, or unwell.
Between two breaths, a quiet possibility.
Breath library
Learn before you practise
Purpose, method and cautions for each technique. Begin with the gentlest version.
Sound & verse
When breath is not enough
Some days attention needs something to hold. A repeated mantra gives it one sound; a stotram gives it one meaning.
