 The practice of the Shambhavi Mudra and taking advantage of the intimate connexion between body and mind :

karaṅkiṇyā krodhanayā bhairavyā lelihānayā |

khecaryā dṛṣṭikāle ca parāvāptiḥ prakāśate || 77 ||

"At the time of (practicing divine) vision 

with the body like a corpse,

the face in wonder, eyes wide open,

mouth dropped and wide open awareness,

the supreme state shines."


mṛdvāsane sphijaikena hastapādau nirāśrayam |

nidhāya tatprasaṅgena parā pūrṇā matir bhavet || 78 ||

"On a soft seat, resting only on one's buttock,

hands and feet hanging loose,

in that situation,

attention will become free and full."


upaviśyāsane samyag bāhū kṛtvārdhakuñcitau |

kakṣavyomni manaḥ kurvan śamam āyāti tallayāt || 79 ||

"Taking a seat

with arms crossed on one another,

attention focused on the space below the arms/ on the belly/

on both sides/ on the space around,

one goes in peace by dissolving in that."
