For one seated on a moving seat, or through slowly rocking the body, as the mind becomes calm, O Goddess, one attains the divine flood.
School paraphrase drawing on Jaideva Singh (1979), Christopher Wallis and Bettina Bäumer (as printed in Wallis's concordance); not a quotation.
Commentary
Singh: seated in a cart, on horseback or on any moving vehicle, the body sways to and fro, or one may sway it oneself; a peculiar joy arises, the mind turns inward and grows calm. He explains divyaugha as the 'divine stream' of wisdom, one of three streams (human, perfected, divine). Wallis: a swing or moving seat, or slow rocking of the body.
How to sit with it
Sit on a gently moving seat (a swing, a rocking chair, a passenger seat), or sit still and sway the body slowly and softly to and fro. Let the rhythm calm the mind and rest in that calm.
Where attention rests
The slow rocking movement and the calm that grows within it
The mind turning inward
Not a body shape. The map is a gentle pendulum: the body rocking slowly to and fro, and the stillness that appears in the mind within the movement.
Breath
Natural breath. Count about four in and four out only if it helps you settle, then let the count go. No forced hold.
The counts are an optional school pacing aid, not part of the verse. Hold is always 0: this school never adds a deliberate breath-hold.
Any steady, comfortable position (school addition)
A seat that moves gently (a swing, a rocking chair, a passenger seat in a vehicle), or any steady seat in which the body can sway slowly.
School addition. Verse 83 does not specify a body position. The seat is a convenience so the dharana can be practised; it is not part of the technique and makes no claim of tradition.
Safety
Pain is information. Pause, regress, or exit. Never push through sharp pain.
General practice caution only; not medical advice. Only as a passenger, never while driving. Keep the movement slow and small; stop if dizzy or queasy. If anything feels distressing (dizziness, agitation, strong emotion), stop, open the eyes and rest attention on the feet and the floor.
This door needs no particular posture: sit on a chair, sit on the floor with support, or lie down. Eyes may stay open.
Honesty
Door 060 follows Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra dharana 60 (verse 83) in Jaideva Singh's numbering. The door-to-dharana index is a School of 112 Doorways teaching device. Singh's sequence is one edition's count, not an ancient one-to-one canon. The seat, counts, reaction and beat scripts are school additions.
Door index = Jaideva Singh dharana number: Door 060 is dharana 60, verse 83. Other editions number differently (see dharana.numbering_variants).
The seat, breath counts, reaction metaphor, attention-map drawing and beat scripts are school devices, not part of the verse.
The English is a school paraphrase, not a quotation from any translator.
No medical claims. Reaction names are metaphors, not biochemistry.
