Mantra of Inhalation and Exhalation
Bhairava
This practice asks you to notice the natural sound of breathing: one sound on the way out, another on the way in. Instead of treating breathing as automatic, you use it as a gentle mantra and let it carry your attention inward. Over time, the breath itself becomes a doorway into calm presence.
अस्यामनुचरन् वतष्ठन् महानन्दमयेऽर्ध्वरे । तया देव्या समाविष्ट् परं भैरवं आप्नुयात् ॥ १५५ ॥ विज्ञानभैरव तन्त्रम् सकारेण िवहयाधवत हकारेण विशेत् पुनः । हंसहंसेत्यमुं मन्त्रं जीिो जपति वनत्यश् ॥ १५५ ॥

Translation
Remaining in this rite filled with great bliss, following that Goddess, one enters the supreme Bhairava. With the 'sa' one goes out, and with the 'ha' one enters again; the embodied being constantly recites this mantra, 'haṃsa, haṃsa.'
It teaches a breath-based mantra practice where exhalation and inhalation become a continuous remembrance of the divine.
