I recently got bored and started to practice my vocal cords by sustaining a single tone. Turn out it is good technique for getting into a meditative state. I think it is the controlled breathing and single focus on one thing that helps to bring it about. Thought it was fun, but my neighbours must think that I have lost it.

Yea, I think a pattern that modulates between two vowels works best, like OoohWaaaOoohm. I think you find this in many religions, for example the call to prayer, but I don't want to be shouting Alla, neighbours will call the police for sure.
