The Vigyan Bhairav Tantra ( Bhairava Tantra) is a key text of the Trika school of Kashmi Shaivism. Is related to a discourse between the god Shiva and his consort Devi or Shakti, it briefly presents 112 meditation methods or centering techniques (dharana). These include several variants of breath awareness, concentration on various centers in the body, non-dual awareness, chanting, imagination and visualization and contemplation through each of the senses. A prerequisite to success in any of the 112 practices is a clear understanding of which method is most suitable to the practitioner
The text is a chapter from the Rudrayamala Tantra, a Bhairava Agama. Devi, the goddess, asks Siva to reveal the essence of the way to realization of the highest reality. In his answer Siva describes 112 ways to enter into the universal and transcendental state of consciousness. References to it appear throughout the literature of Kashmir Shaivism, indicating that it was considered to be an important text in the monistic school of Kashmir Shaiva philosophy.The text appeared in 1918 in the Kashmir Series of Text and Studies (KSTS)The Kashmir Series published two volumes, one with a commentary by Kshemaraja and Shivopadhyaya and the other with a commentary, called Kaumadi, by Ananda Bhatta. osho also made attempt to translation of the text.
it is a very complex system being practsed in himalayan region. moreover some people tend to give misleading information about bharavi, it is just female incarnation of fierce form of Bhairav , there is not any bhairavi chakra separately in our body , this is just the manifestation of our basic chakras having energized form. These pactices should be done only in the guidance of of learned guru
