I just perused the 112 techniques, as they are reprinted on this website under centering. They seem to be taken from Zen Flesh, Zen Bones, same as is said of Osho's commentary.
But Oshos 112 techniques differ strongly from those mentioned here. The numbers don't fit. Some techniques appear under different numbers, some do not appear at all. For example, as technique 47 Osho details meditation on one's own name. In the list on this website, this technique does not appear.
What is the reason for these differences?

Hi Tom:
The 112 techniques are not quoted directly in the AYP lessons. A link to a third party source is provided in Lesson T21 (also in Lesson 136).
I cannot account for differences between the third party source linked in the AYP lesson (apparently sanctioned by the publisher of Zen Flesh Zen Bones) and Osho's interpretation. It would probably be best to go back to the original Zen Flesh book to determine what may have been changed by Osho, and why. Or even better, go back to the Vigyan Bhairav itself.
Osho was noted for his creativity in reinterpreting spiritual teachings originating elsewhere. And Paul Reps may have done some creative interpretation of the Vigyan Bhairav also (Zen Flesh is actually a compilation of several ancient scriptures).
AYP does not represent the teachings of the Vigyan Bhairav, Zen Flesh Zen Bones, or Osho. These connections were raised in the lessons only to illustrate that tantric principles we are utilizing in AYP have been around for thousands of years, and inherent within the human nervous system itself.
All the best!
The guru is in you.
