When you repeat "hamsa" soham automatically emerges. Both are same. But "hamsa"is right. This alone becomes "soham".

In order to realize the effect of paraprāsāda mantra, it is a precondition that one should know the Glory of Śiva and Śakti. In other words, knowledge is a precondition for attaining siddhi in paraprāsāda mantra. Without knowledge mantra siddhi cannot be attained. Understanding their Glory is different from attaining knowledge about Them. Their Glories are described in various Scripture like Lalitā Sahasranāma, etc. Knowledge about them is revealed through Upaniṣad-s. That is why, special efforts have been taken to explain nāma-s both from the point of view of their Glories and knowledge.

This mantra should not be recited like other mantras. This mantra "soham" should be aligned with your breath. "ha" should be recited while exhaling and "so" should be recited with inhalation. First one has to practice this mantra with sound. For practice, reciting this mantra 108 times daily is prescribed. Once, this mantra is aligned with breath (both exhalation and inhalation), one should recite this mantra mentally. This leads to watching one's own breath. Over a period of time, though one may attend to the calls of material life, inwardly, this mantra will be recited with breath. The first signs of effectiveness of this mantra is unfolding bliss, a sort of inexplicable happiness. You should feel this in about a week's time.
