Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 24 · Verse 47

Whole body filled with space

Feel the whole body—bone, organ, fluid, and tissue—as filled through with empty space. Nothing is being denied. The body is still here. What changes is the sense that it is solid and closed.

Older line

O doe-eyed one, contemplate every substance in the body as pervaded by space. Then that contemplation becomes steady.

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