Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 37 · Verse 60

Vast open place

Sit or stand where the view is wide and almost featureless: open sky, a plain, a large empty room. The lack of landmarks is the method. The mind likes objects to rest on. Give it as few as possible, and stay with the expanse until thinking has nothing left to add.

Older line

Let your gaze rest on a place without trees, mountains, walls, or the like. As the mind dissolves there, its restless movements fall away.

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