Meditation is not just about sitting in a corner, eyes closed, hands, legs and fingers locked. It is also possible by seeing the mountains, the oceans, rivers, the sky, the wind, the music and humanity. This blog space is of the many ways of meditation with the Vignana Bhairava Tantra.
Cast your eyes in a place where there are mountains or huge rocks, sans trees. As the mind gets dissolved, the different waves of thought or the chitta vrittis get denuded. What the mind sees, that it becomes. Concentration on a barren rock makes the mind similarly singularly focussed. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Empty space in and out Ghatadi Bhajane Drishtim Bhittees Tyaktwa Vinikshipeth|Tallayam Tatkshanad Gathwa Tallayath Thanmayo Bhaveth||In this technique of Tantra, Shiva teaches on meditating upon the empty space within the pot. Space is the first creation of the mind and from space the other four elements emerge. Taking a deep look at the space inside the pot, the mind forgets for a moment the presence of the walls of the pot. By focussing on the space, the realisation that everything is just the same space happens. In that moment of merging with empty space, the mind also becomes that oneness which is its essential self. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
