A guided meditation on this verse: settle, breathe with its meaning, rest in silence, and carry its essence into your day.
समं कायशिरोग्रीवं धारयन्नचलं स्थिरः |
सम्प्रेक्ष्य नासिकाग्रं स्वं दिशश्चानवलोकयन् ||६-१३||
samaṃ kāyaśirogrīvaṃ dhārayannacalaṃ sthiraḥ .
samprekṣya nāsikāgraṃ svaṃ diśaścānavalokayan ||6-13||
Krishna describes the posture: "Hold the body, head, and neck straight and still. Look gently toward the tip of the nose without letting the eyes wander around."
