Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 6 · Verse 29

Lightning through the centers

This is like the previous practice, but the light stays bright. See a current of light leap like lightning from center to center up the middle of the body—base, belly, heart, throat, brow, crown—without thinning away. The old text says that what comes at the end is a great dawning: not a better picture, but a warmth and an openness that arrive without a reason.

Older line

Contemplate her rising like lightning, from one center to the next in turn, upward to three fists’ breadth above the head. At the end comes the great dawning.

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