They perceive everything in a detached manner, and they associate themselves less with affective scenarios. They also better control their attention.

Contemplating Shri Yantra
Shri yantra meditation is all about concentration of your eyes on the image. First, your eyes are fixed on one of the angles of the external square. Then, you move them slowly along the line of the border in a clockwise manner. As you get to the initial point, you pass over to the inner circle. After you pass around the circle, you go over to the petals’ ring. Then - to another ring. After that you circle around four rings of triangles and, finally, stop in the middle point. There your eyes rest for 15-20 minutes. Then you close your eyes and look at the remaining image for some time. You keep watching it till it disappears.

Universe that is Octave. Manas is a mysterious element of mind. It gave birth to the initial still space - ether. Its symbol is a human face, deep, slow inhalation.
