Visualize <strong>the</strong> deity’s five seed syllables in <strong>the</strong> female practitioner’s yoni maṇḍala, red with golden glow<br />

<strong>and</strong> flames, vertical with <strong>the</strong> first syllable on <strong>to</strong>p <strong>and</strong> a small space between each syllable.<br />

They pass as a mantra garl<strong>and</strong> from her yoni maṇḍala <strong>to</strong> his vajra, in <strong>the</strong> order <strong>the</strong> verses describe<br />

below, revolving uninterruptedly through your central channel like a firebr<strong>and</strong> creating a continual ring<br />

of mantra fire. This generates <strong>and</strong> stabilizes <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Bliss</strong>.<br />

Inhale, <strong>the</strong>n recite <strong>the</strong> mantra as you exhale, visualizing one circle in each exhalation. Inhale <strong>to</strong> start<br />

again. Each recitation of <strong>the</strong> seed syllables is made with one swing through both your bodies: as <strong>the</strong><br />

mantra garl<strong>and</strong> moves from her yoni <strong>to</strong> his vajra, begin <strong>the</strong> recitation with <strong>the</strong> seed syllable “eṃ;” move<br />

it up his body <strong>to</strong> his right nostril <strong>and</strong> chant <strong>the</strong> syllable “āṃ;” chant “rīṃ” as <strong>the</strong> mantra passes from his<br />

nostril <strong>to</strong> hers; chant “raṃ” as it descends through her body <strong>to</strong>ward her lotus; finally, as <strong>the</strong> syllables<br />

return <strong>to</strong> her yoni, chant “brīṃ.” Each swing is done in one breath, moving <strong>the</strong> mantra garl<strong>and</strong> along as<br />

you inhale <strong>and</strong> exhale. Count each swing as one bead on <strong>the</strong> mālās in your left h<strong>and</strong>s, completing 108<br />

recitations. Recite <strong>the</strong> first three mantra repetitions slowly, <strong>the</strong> rest quickly, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> final repetition very<br />

slowly.<br />

After completing one set of 108 Swing Recitations, display <strong>to</strong> each o<strong>the</strong>r Garuda Mudrā. Repeat <strong>the</strong><br />

practice as you wish, up <strong>to</strong> five sets of 108 repetitions each, completing each set with <strong>the</strong> gesture, h<strong>and</strong>s<br />

out forward in front of your body facing your partner, <strong>the</strong> left thumb hooking over <strong>the</strong> right, fingers<br />

extended:<br />
