Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 44 · Verse 67

Close the senses, ride the rise

Close the gates of the senses—the eyes, the ears, the habit of feeding on outer objects—and sit. A current may rise along the midline of the body. It can feel like warmth, like a faint crawling, like pressure moving upward. Do not make a project of the sensation. Stay with whatever climbs, and let it spread as joy if joy is what arrives. The image in the old text is a description, not a goal you must produce.
