(1) Above an expanse of ocean is a stretch of clear sunny sky. A moon disc rises from the ocean into the sky. Inside the moon disc is the blue seed syllable「」”ah,” emitting blue light.

(2) The seed syllable inside the moon disc revolves and transforms into blue Nairatmya. She has one head with two arms. Her right hand holds a kartika while her left hand holds a kapala and the left arm embraces a trident. She is adorned with jeweled necklaces and looks dignified. She is in half-lotus and playful position.

(3) From the brow point of Nairatmya, a beam of white light shines onto one’s brow point. From the throat of Nairatmya, a beam of red light shines onto one’s throat. From the heart of Nairatmya, a beam of blue light shines onto one’s heart. The three lights of white, red, and blue merge completely into one’s body and mind.

Note: Visualization of entering into and merging with Nairatmya:
Visualize Nairatmya transforming into a light pearl. This light pearl enters through the crown opening and rests on top of the lotus at one’s heart chakra. Her body gradually enlarges until it becomes exactly the same size as one’s own body. (The two are completely merged. Nairatmya is oneself and oneself is Nairatmya. There is no separation between oneself and Nairatmya.)
