Vijnana Bhairava Tantra 25 26 27 Awakening Through Breath

Appar

The sacred experience of finding balance within breath :

maruto 'ntar bahir vāpi viyadyugmānivartanāt |

bhairavyā bhairavasyettham bhairavi vyajyate vapuḥ || 25 ||
"When the wind do not go outside
nor inside, 
by concentrating on the couple of them,
the Body of the Divine clearly manifests by that energy."

na vrajen na viśec chaktir marudrūpā vikāsite |
nirvikalpatayā madhye tayā bhairavarūpatā || 26 ||
"The breath (energy) shall not go out, nor in.
By the choiceless (energy)
expanding in the interval,
one becomes (again) divine."

kumbhitā recitā vāpi pūritā vā yadā bhavet |
tadante śāntanāmāsau śaktyā śāntaḥ prakāśate || 27 ||
"When energy becomes held, 
emptied or filled,
at the end of that she is said to be 'healed'.
Through her, one shines, healed."
