How to do the OM technique from the Vijnana Bhairava: thumbs sealing the ears and pinkies gently pressing the lower eyelids during Shambhavi Mudra, listening as inner sounds deepen from a high whine to the roar of OM. Also covers an ear variation, which ear to favor, and why quiet is the whole magic, as in anechoic chambers.
