To begin, sit in the lotus position with your back straight. Place your palms on your genitalia, focusing on the inseparable unity of Shiva and Shakti. As you maintain this posture, visualize yourself as the opposite sex. If you are male, concentrate on Shakti, the Supreme Female, imagining yourself as female and embodying the form of Shakti. Conversely, if you are female, focus on Shiva, visualizing yourself as male and taking on the form of Shiva. Continue to hold this visualization, and transition between each form, while you chant the following mantra, keeping your palms against your genitalia:

Mantra: Om Namah Shakti Shivaya.
