Ascending the Inner Current
Bhairava
Imagine energy rising gently through the body like a stream being guided upward. As you become sensitive to subtle contact or tingling, a very peaceful happiness can appear. The practice is soft, gradual, and inward.
विज्ञानभैरव तन्त्रम् सिधस्रोतोवनिन्धेन प्राणशक्त्योर्ध्वधया शनैः । वपपीलस्पशधिेलायां प्रथते परमं सुखम् ॥ ६७ ॥
vijñānabhairava tant्रम | siddhasrotovandhena prāṇaśaktyordhvadhayā śanaiḥ | viśeṣa-sparśa-līlāyāṃ prathate paramaṃ sukham || 67 ||
Translation
By the closure of the perfected channel, and by the gradual upward flow of the power of prāṇa, through the play of a special touch, supreme happiness unfolds.
The verse instructs the practitioner to guide subtle life-energy upward so that a refined touch of awareness opens into great joy.
