This is No. 33 of 112 Guided Audio Meditations from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra by Shiva. This meditation uses the open expanse of the blue sky as a mirror for awareness itself. By gazing into the vast, objectless space without labeling or analysis, the mind naturally quiets and desires dissolve. As perception merges with openness, awareness rests in stillness, clarity, and serenity. The practice concludes with loving-kindness, grounding spacious awareness in gentleness and compassion.

Allow your body to relax,

Sinking into the support beneath you.

Shift your focus to your breath.

Feel the natural rhythm of your breath as it flows in and out.
