ABSTRACT

The Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, an ancient Indian text, offers 112 meditative techniques blending spiritual wisdom with practical application. This study explores the integration of these yogic practices with modern scientific frameworks, examining their physiological and psychological impacts. By analyzing breath control, mindfulness, and visualization methods through neuroscientific and psychological lenses, we identify mechanisms underlying their efficacy in stress reduction, cognitive enhancement, and emotional regulation. The research bridges ancient insights with contemporary science, highlighting their relevance in promoting holistic well-being. This interdisciplinary approach underscores the timeless value of yogic practices in addressing modern mental health challenges.
