1: Breath:Pause
The Supreme Goddess constantly articulates as the life-giving flow of breath: prāṇa (exhale) rising up, and jīva (inhale)—the movement into embodiment—descending. By pausing at the two places where the flows of breath arise, and filling those points with silent awareness, one abides in the state of inner fullness.Beginner · Centering · Embodied Method
2: Rays Of Light
Imagine the subtlest possible form of prāṇa-śakti as rays of light shining upward from the root of the central channel and peacefully dissolving in the highest center above the crown; then Bhairava (intensified awareness) arises.Beginner · Centering · Embodied Method3: Chakra-To-Chakra
Imagine the śakti rising like a streak of lightning from one subtle center to the next in succession. When She reaches the uppermost center, three fists above the crown, there comes the Great Dawn of liberation and prosperity.Intermediate · Kuṇḍalinī & Subtle Body · Embodied Method4: 12 Vowels
There are twelve such centers in sequence; properly associated with twelve vowels. By fixing awareness on each one, in successively coarse, subtle, and supreme forms, and then abandoning each, in the end, one knows God.Intermediate · Kuṇḍalinī & Subtle Body · Embodied Method5: The ‘Dike’ Between The Eyebrows
Having quickly filled the central channel up to the head with that energy, and having temporarily blocked the flow of energy with the ‘dike’ of knitted brows, and thus having made the mind thought-free, one ascends to the all-pervasive state in the place above all.Advanced · Kuṇḍalinī & Subtle Body · Embodied Method6: The Five Spaces
Meditating on the Five Spaces as the colorful circles of the peacock’s feathers, one enters the Heart, the Supreme Space.Intermediate · Esoteric · Embodied Method7: Dissolution

Remaining with eyes closed, fix your attention inside the cranium; by means of gradually increasing steadiness of mind, you will perceive that which is most worthy of being perceived.Intermediate · Esoteric · Embodied Method9: Central Channel
The central channel is situated in the core of one’s being. Meditate on it as having a form like a slender lotus fiber, and as being the Goddess in the form of the innermost Space; through Her, the experience of God will manifest.Intermediate · Esoteric · Embodied Method10: Six-Part Seal
If the yogī closes the doors of the senses with the ‘weapon’ by which external perception is blocked with the assistance of the hands, and pierces the eyebrow-center, he will eventually perceive the Bindu. When it dissolves, one will experience the state of Supreme Stasis in one’s Center.Advanced · Esoteric · Embodied Method11: Mark Of Subtle Fire

A person who fosters the subtle experience/perception of the very beginning and ending of any syllable, sound, or musical note, becomes, by means of the feminine void, empty, open, & spacious, his very form nothing but that spaciousness.Intermediate · Spaciousness · Divine Method15: Tambura
If one’s heart-mind is completely focused on the prolonged sounds of a musical instrument such as a tantrī (a stringed instrument like a tanpūra), through the duration of the phases of their resonance, at the limit of the perceptible sound one’s beautiful form may become that of the formless supreme Void.Beginner · Spaciousness · Divine Method16: Mantra-Mass

O great Goddess, one may consider this universe as Empty Void; the mind dissolves in that very Emptiness, then one shares in its dissolution.Advanced · Spaciousness · Divine Method31: Space In A Pot
One may cast one’s gaze into a well-formed vessel, such as a bowl, and leaving aside its walls, become absorbed in the space it encloses. At the very moment the mind dissolves into that space, one becomes that simple open spaciousness.Intermediate · Spaciousness · Divine Method32: Open Space
One may cast one’s gaze on an area free of trees, mountains, walls, and so on; when the mental state dissolves into that open field, then arises the state of being in which mental-emotional churning/activity is feeble or absent.Intermediate · Spaciousness · Divine Method33: Noticing The Space Between
Contemplating the cognition of any two objects, or any two states of mind, take refuge in the center between them & rest in the center. Releasing both simultaneously, Reality shines forth in the Center.Intermediate · Spaciousness · Divine Method34: Centering In The Space Between
When any mental-emotional state or mood has dissolved, let awareness be checked: do not move on to another bhāva right away.

One may contemplate the Truth that one’s entire body, or indeed the whole world, consists of nothing but Consciousness. Through the nonconceptual mind directly seeing this truth all at once, there comes the Supreme Dawning of liberation.Intermediate · Classical Tantrik Yoga · Empowered Method36: Fusing The Two Flows
Due to the fusion of the prāṇa-vāyus at the external or internal terminus, the yogī becomes a ‘worthy vessel’ for the arising of equality-consciousness.Advanced · Classical Tantrik Yoga · Embodied Method37: Body Of Bliss

One may cast one’s heart-mind, full of pleasure, into the center point between the ‘fire’ at the root and the ‘poison’ at the tip with either kevala-kumbhaka or pūraka-kumbhaka; thus one is connected to the bliss of passionate love.Advanced · Bliss · Embodied Method41: Energy-Immersion

Or, when desire or thought do arise, one should settle the mind with the discernment that this is simply a vibration of the Self. Let awareness be unwavering; then there will be insight into the true nature of reality.Beginner · Contemplative · Empowered Method74: Thoughts Belong to No One
Cognitions arise without cause and without objective basis, their nature being merely an eddy of mental energy. In reality, these cognitions belong to no one. One who directly senses the truth of this is Śiva himself, O beloved.Beginner · Contemplative · Empowered Method75: Awareness In All Beings

“Just as waves arise from water, undulating flames from fire, and light-rays from the sun, the various kinds of ‘waves’ of the universe arise from me, Bhairava.”Intermediate · Contemplative · Empowered Method86: Cessation Of The Energy Of Excitation
Whirling quickly around and around and then falling to the ground, or roaming on foot for hours and finally collapsing, the Supreme State arises by the cessation of the energy of excitation.Intermediate · Daily Life · Divine Method87: The Power Of Incapacity

Standing above a deep well, chasm, or the like and gazing into it, one’s mind becomes completely free of thought, and suddenly dissolves into clarity.Beginner · Daily Life · Divine Method91: The State Of Śiva
Wherever the mind goes, internally or even externally, it discovers nothing but the state of God. Since that state is all-pervasive, where else could the mind go?Beginner · Daily Life · Empowered Method92: Dissolution Into Awareness
Wherever and whenever the Consciousness of the all-pervasive Lord is manifested through the pathway of the eyes or other senses, then, because it is that very Consciousness which actually possesses the qualities of the apparently objective perceptible (such as sound, sensation, color etc.), it dissolves into pure Awareness; then the state of the fulfilled self arises.Advanced · Daily Life · Divine Method93: Being The Absolute
Just before or after a sneeze, at the onset or cessation of anger, in fear, in deep sorrow, when fleeing from conflict (or from joy), in curiosity or wonder, at the onset and cessation of hunger: in all these states and more, the state replete with the Being of the Absolute is available.Beginner · Daily Life · Divine Method94: A Place You Have Seen
When seeing a place one has been before, let go of things that arise in the memory (lit., set aside the faculty of attention in relation to remembered objects), and make your body ‘supportless’: then the Lord appears.Advanced · Daily Life · Empowered Method95: Yogic Withdrawal
Fix the gaze on some object, then slowly withdraw it, then the thought of it, then the heart-mind itself: O Goddess, one who practices this becomes an abode of spaciousness.Advanced · Esoteric · Embodied Method96: Intense Devotion
The kind of understanding that arises in one who is unattached by virtue of his or her intense devotion is itself Śiva’s śakti. Contemplate & meditate on it constantly: then, Śiva manifests in one’s direct experience.Advanced · Esoteric · Embodied Method97: The Emptiness Of All Things
When another object is being perceived, the emptiness in all things may be perceived. Meditating on that emptiness alone with one’s full attention, though the object is still perceived, one settles down & becomes peaceful.Intermediate · Esoteric · Divine Method98: Purity And Impurity
That which people of paltry understanding consider ‘purity’ is a cognitive impurity in the teachings of Śiva. In truth, there is neither purity nor impurity. Therefore, be free of such mental constructs, and be happy.Advanced · Contemplative · Empowered Method99: The Bhairava State
The being/state called Bhairava is everywhere; thus, it is available to common folk as well. There is nothing apart from That. There is no other. One who comprehends this is in the nondual mode.Advanced · Contemplative · Empowered Method100: Equal Towards All
Internally equal towards foe and friend, and equanimous in both honor and dishonor, because the plenitude of the Absolute is the same in all beings: knowing this, one becomes truly happy.Advanced · Contemplative · Empowered Method101: Radically Free
One should contemplate neither hatred nor craving in any circumstance whatsoever. In the Center, radically free from attachment and aversion, the Absolute unfolds.Advanced · Contemplative · Empowered Method102: Beyond Existence
That which cannot be known in the ordinary manner, that which cannot be grasped by the mind, which is Void and abides in Nonbeing—all that should be contemplated as Bhairava, as everything. At the culmination of that contemplative process comes the arising of awakened awareness.Advanced · Becoming Bhairava · Empowered Method103: Outer Space
Absorbing the mind in external space—which is eternal, needs no support, void, all-pervasive, and free of limitations—one becomes completely immersed in empty fullness.Intermediate · Spaciousness · Divine Method104: Nothing To Hang On To
Wherever the mind goes, in that very instant let it abandon whatever it has alighted upon. Due to having nothing to hang on to, it then becomes ‘waveless’.Advanced · Esoteric · Divine Method105: The Word ‘Bhairava’
One who constantly utters the word ‘Bhairava’, understanding that it means “With His radiant Light, He makes the whole universe resound with awareness, and He pervades the whole completely”, becomes Śiva.Advanced · Becoming Bhairava · Empowered Method106: No Basis
In everyday life, when one hears oneself saying phrases like ‘I am…’ or ‘this is mine’, seize the opportunity to inquire into what these words (‘I’ or ‘my’) refer to. The mind tries to find a referent, but it cannot. Impelled toward the truth by this meditative contemplation, one becomes peaceful.Intermediate · Daily Life · Empowered Method107: Lord Of All
“Eternal, majestic, requiring no external support, all-pervasive, lord over all”—meditating on these words as applying equally to God and to oneself in every possible moment, one attains the goal in accordance with their meaning.Advanced · Contemplative · Empowered Method108: All This Is A Magic Show
“It is established that this entire world is as unreal as a magic show. How much reality is there in a magic show?” Due to being firm in cultivating this conviction, one attains peace.Intermediate · Contemplative · Empowered Method109: Reflections In The Mind
“For me there is no bondage; nor is there any need for liberation. These are merely concepts with which people frighten themselves. This phenomenal reality is merely a reflection in the mind, like suns in pools of water.”Advanced · Contemplative · Empowered Method110: Abide In Oneself
Union with pleasure, pain, and so on always occurs through the doors of perception. With this in mind, let go of attachment to the senses and be at ease in the natural state, abiding in oneself.Advanced · Final Practices · Divine Method111: One Essential Nature
Everything is revealed by cognition, and the Self is revealed by everything. Due to there being only one essential nature, knowables are to be contemplated as consisting of One Consciousness.Advanced · Final Practices · Empowered Method112: Ultimate Dissolution
O dear one, when these four—mental states, vital energy, individuated consciousness, and the self-concept—have dissolved, that is Bhairava-nature!Advanced · Final Practices · Divine Method
