Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 2 · Verse 25

Where the breath turns

Take in not only the exact turning point of the breath, but a little of the breath on either side of it. Rest attention at the place where the breath changes direction, rather than in the thoughts that run before and after it.

Older line

Whether the breath is within or without, do not turn back from the two spaces where it pauses. So, O Bhairavi, through the Goddess the very form of Bhairava is revealed.

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