Verse 44Space

Rear and Root Void

Bhairava

Feel the space behind your back and the space at the base of your body at the same time. Do not tighten around sensations; just let them be open and roomy. This can make the mind feel less crowded and more still.

पृष्टशून्यम् मूलशून्यम् युगपद्भाियेच्च य् । शरीरवनरपेवक्षण्या शक्त्या शून्यमना भवेत् ॥ ४४ ॥

pṛṣṭaśūnyaṃ mūlaśūnyaṃ yugapad bhāvayecca yaḥ | śarīra nirapekṣiṇyā śaktyā śūnyamano bhavet || 44 ||

Translation

One who contemplates at once the void of the back and the void of the root becomes of empty mind through the power that is independent of the body.

Expand awareness into the body’s back and base while letting the mind empty into a nonphysical power.
