The “problem of mind” has been central to many of the approaches found in spiritual traditions and practices. The “problem of mind” simply stated is this: Thought is recognised as seemingly separating us from a deeper, freer, reality. “Me-centred” thought is painful. The thinker is recognised to be only a thought. Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism and have long recognised this “problem of the mind.” And so have developed methods and practices to overcome, to even extinguish, the thinking mind and the thinking self. The Buddhist Path: Mindfulness and Meditation Buddhism presents a thoughtful and structured pathway designed to quiet the incessant chatter of the restless mind. Buddhist practices are deeply rooted in a methodical and intentional path toward achieving inner peace and mental clarity. At the heart of these practices is mindfulness, a disciplined art form that involves being wholly present and actively engaged in the current moment. This requires a conscious effort to immerse oneself completely in whatever activity is at hand, whether it’s a simple daily task or a complex emotional experience, doing so without succumbing to judgement or allowing distractions to take hold. Mindfulness in Buddhism is more than just a practice; it is a way of living. It encourages one to recognise the position of the observer as being always already prior to any perception, feeling, or thought. I am not what is perceived; I am the observer of perceptions. I am not the feeler; I am the observer of feelings. I am not the thinker of thoughts; I am the observer of thought.

What is the Tantra. Or more specifically the ‘Vigyan Bhairav Tantra’, the scripture af fectionately and broadly just called Tantra in all Eastern- Western communions of language. Shiva in his Bhairava form stands for the ‘Knower ’ and Bhairavi or the Devi stands for the ‘Known’. In so, the known asks the knower how to be perceived. The Vigyan Bhairava Tantra is a scripture where the Goddess is in deep conversation with the God. Here the goddess denotes the Devi of Outer creation and the God as the Absolute Creation, Shiva or the inner self. These questions and answers of the Tantra form that bridge. The Devi begins, by asking a series of questions. One by one, Shiva answers that they are all merely attributes, not his real self. Then the Devi, who herself is all that is already known, asks her cosmic partner Shiva, the knower to free her from her doubts and express his true nature. And here, the answers by Shiva each constitute techniques to bridge the outer world and go beyond. But consciousness cannot be known, only experienced. It is stated that between the questions and answers, there is a gap. The Gap There are a 112 techniques in the Tantra. Or a 1 12 Sutras or methods that Shiva addresses as answers to the Devi. These various methods are broadly categorised in three types of qualities, the ‘ Sambhava upaya ’, the ‘ Saktopaya ’ a n d t h e ‘ Anava-upaya ’. The first is considered the ideal, and the most difficult. The second is guru or instruction-enabled and so is medium in achievement and practice. For centuries, the human mind has been a subject of intense fascination and exploration. While science delves into its mechanics, ancient wisdom traditions offer a unique perspective – a map to navigate its inner landscapes and unlock its true potential. One such treasure trove is the **Vigyaan Bhairav Tantra**, an ancient text containing 112 powerful meditation techniques designed to awaken consciousness and achieve liberation. The Vigyaan Bhairav Tantra, attributed to the 8th-century Kashmiri Shaivite philosopher, Abhinavagupta, is a remarkable text that transcends the limitations of traditional religious doctrine. It delves into the nature of reality, the power of the mind, and the path to enlightenment, offering practical techniques for achieving profound transformation. The Vigyaan Bhairav Tantra focuses on the concept of "Shiva" as the ultimate consciousness, and "Shakti" as the energy that fuels it. The text describes these two forces as inseparable, and through their union, a state of pure awareness, or "Samadhi," is attained. **Unlocking the 112 Techniques:** The heart of the Vigyaan Bhairav Tantra lies in its 112 meditation techniques, each designed to target a specific aspect of the mind. These techniques are not rigid practices, but rather flexible tools to be adapted and experimented with, allowing individuals to discover the path that resonates most deeply with them. Some of the techniques include: * **Focusing on an object:** This involves directing attention to a specific object, such as a candle flame or a mantra, to quiet the mind. * **Observing thoughts without judgment:** This technique encourages observing thoughts as they arise and pass without getting caught in their narratives. * **Dwelling on the breath:** By focusing on the breath, one can anchor the mind and achieve a state of calmness. * **Witnessing the world:** This involves observing the world without engaging in emotional reactions, allowing for a sense of detachment and clarity. **Benefits of Practicing the Vigyaan Bhairav Tantra:** The regular practice of these techniques can lead to significant benefits, including:. The Vigyaan Bhairav Tantra is a powerful tool for exploring the depths of the human mind and achieving liberation. Its 112 meditation techniques provide a unique path to self-discovery, mindfulness, and spiritual awakening.
