Meditate on the spatial vacuity in one’s body
extending [outwardly] in all directions of space
simultaneously.
Meditate on vacuous space above and vacuous space
below.


Meditate on the body’s matter as pervaded with space.


Meditate on one’s own self as a vast unlimited
expanse.


from The Vijnanabhairava Tantra


One should, setting aside identification with one’s
own body, contemplate that the same awareness is
present in other bodies than one’s own.


He whose awareness together with the other senses is
merged in the interior space of the heart, who has
entered into the two bowls of the heart lotus
[diaphragm], who has excluded everything else from
consciousness, acquires the highest fortune, oh
beautiful one.
Shiva is the Self shining in all things, all-pervasive, all
quiescent Awareness.


May the Shiva in-penetrated into my limited self
through his power, offer worship to the Shiva of the
expansive Self – the concealer of himself by himself!


Sri Somananda


Having made itself manifest, awareness
abides as both the inner and the outer.
The visible world is the body.


Sri Utpaladeva
