The practice of Vajrabhairava is a practice of the Supreme Yogatantra. The word Yoga means exercise and with Tantra is meant a tissue of different parts of practice that are recited and meditated continuously. That is, daily. When initial progress has been made, exercises are added, which take place through imaginations and breathing exercises. So this kind of tantra has nothing to do with common concepts of tantra, that focus on sexual practices. These are absolutely not to be found here. The pictorial world encountered in this exercise text cannot be understood without instruction. Symbols and images are intended to facilitate a change in your own consciousness. These, however, seem extremely strange to you when you deal with such a text without any help.
