Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 23 · Verse 46

Any part of the body as void

Choose any one part of the body: a hand, a foot, the belly, the inside of the mouth. For a short, clean interval, regard that part as empty space. You do not need a long sitting; a few honest minutes are enough. The instruction is simple: this region is hollow. Do not narrate what you are doing. Just keep it empty.

Older line

For a single moment, take some part of the body to be nothing but emptiness, free of thought. Free of thought, you share in the nature that is free of thought.

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