Foreword

The Vijana Bhairava Tantra is a wonderful spiritual book containing over one hundred stanzas describing various meditation techniques. These techniques are designed to allow the interested spiritual seeker to experience the truth about the highest Self for himself/herself.

Some of the techniques are repetitions and others are not very practical in today's age. Therefore, in this book, "Handbook of Consciousness,' I have selected around seventy of those techniques that are unique and that can be practiced easily in today's world with great results.

I want everyone in this world to have the direct experience of the conscious Self; because that is the highest experience we as humans are capable of. We often get lost in our search for fulfillment and end up chasing tasteless cardboard. The bliss that is contained in the experience of the conscious Self is sweet like honey. It is enticing. It is captivating our hearts and minds forever. Therefore, we should have tools at our disposal that help us bring this bliss into our daily lives.

These meditations will do just that. Practice one or practice all of them. You will get the blissful experience of the conscious Self.

The highest knowledge of the Self is only truly attained when you experience it for yourself.
