Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 14 · Verse 37

Press the eyes, follow the point

Close the eyes and press them very gently, never hard. A small point of light may appear at the crown or in the heart. If it does, enter that point and rest there. If it does not, rest with the gentle pressure and the dark. Do not manufacture a vision. (If you have glaucoma, or have had eye surgery, skip this practice.)

Older line

A gentle pressure on the eyes brings forth a point like a mark of subtle fire. Meditate on that point at the crown of the head or in the heart. As it dissolves, you dissolve.

After you look: if it is still alive, stay with it. If it has gone quiet, let tomorrow bring the next one.
