That's a good one.
I used to meditate on death.......imagining various ways of dying. A favorite was in being decapitated. Head ripped off in a car accident. Guillotine in the 18 century. Head bitten off by a great white shark. Head sawn off by Jihadi John
Gruesome, I know....but the intent behind the practice was simply to detach and expand to something beyond compulsive clinging to self, particularly at the level of thoughts....and to open up the throat, third eye, crown chakras wide open.
