This book presents the teachings of the ancient text known as the Vigyana Bhairava Tantra, believed to have been written about one thousand years ago in the Himalayan region of Kashmir. It encapsulates the timeless teachings of yoga and tantra. It has been written primarily as a practical manual and gives freely rendered translations of one hundred and twelve traditional practices, called dharanas, which are still relevant to us in the present era.
The important message that the Vigyana Bhairava Tantra transmits is that if we have the right attitude, then we can be more aware moment to moment in whatever situation we find ourselves in life. This means that our daily life is not an obstruction, but rather part of our ongoing process of awakening to the miracle of life. If we are alert and open, every act and every situation becomes an opportunity to awaken to the reality behind our embodied existence.
Deeper realisation brings happiness, meaning and quality into our lives.
The theoretical background to this form of tantra, known as Kashmir Shaivism, is also given together with an explanation of concepts which are relevant to the practices, including the chakras, the five koshas (pancha kosha) and tantric cosmology.
