Wherever you go Whatever you do

In whatever manner possible and wherever one is, if the mind is focussed on the heart centre, every moment from then, the mind begins to get steady, taking the person to an extraordinary state of being each day. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Focus on the heart

Vignana Bhairava Tantra - 49

Empty space within the heart

Hridyakashe Nileenakshaha Padma Samputa Madhyagaha
Ananya Chetah Subhage Param Sowbhagyamapnuyat

Oh woman, who is the very embodiment of good fortune, when one sits down with eyes closed and focusses inward into the space of the heart, visualise a closed lotus-like image constantly and one achieves the most supreme happiness which is the realisation of the self. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Vignana Bhairava Tantra - 48

Just empty space within

Dehantare Tvagvibhagam Bhitti Bhootam Vichintayeth
Nakinchit Antare Tasya Dhyayanadhyeya bhagbhaveth

One of the methods is to contemplate on the surface of the skin as a partition separating the space outside and inside. There is nothing within the body of yours, except space. Meditating thus, one becomes in tune with the space within that cannot be meditated upon.
- Swahilya Shambhavi.

Vignana Bhairava Tantra - 47

Nothing inside, but space

Sarvam Dehagatam Dravyam Viyadvyaptam Mrigekshane
Vibhavayet Tatastasya Bhavana sa Sthira Bhaveth

Oh one with eyes as a gazelle! Contemplate in this way, that all the parts inside the body is contained in and permeated and surrounded by space. In this manner, when the mind contemplates, it becomes as steady and still like space itself. - Swahilya Shambhavi

Vignana Bhairava Tantra - 46

You are empty within

Tanoodeshe Shoonyataiva Kshanamatram Vibhavayeth
Nirvikalpam Nirvikalpo Nirvikalpaaswaroopabhaat

Now this seems so easy to meditate upon something for just a moment. Consider or imagine, just for a moment, that there is only space inside this body. Imagine just a while that within your outer structure, covered totally by the skin, there is only empty space. This thought leads you to a thoughtless state of mind and you, the contemplating mind becomes that form of void. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Vignana Bhairava Tantra - 45

Space around and within

Prishtashoonyam Moolashoonyam Hrid Shoonyam Bhavayetsthiram
Yugapad Nirvikalpatwat Nirvikalpodayastataha

By focussing one's awareness on the empty space behind, around and between the thoughts and also realising that in the heart of the thought too, there is nothing but empty space, the mind becomes in tune and merges with the space. In that state of Nirvikalpa, where there are no thought constructions or formations that divert the attention of the mind in one way or the other, there arises the ultimate truth that is always present. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
