Tantra

What image does the single word tantra evoke in your mind’s eye? Swapping of partners? Group sex? Orgies? Adultery? Nudist camps? A massage with some free actions as a bonus?

If I tell you that tantra is none of these, then what do you have to say?

Tantra is a highly “respectable” as well as practical form of yoga that decreases the process of aging, transforms sexual energy for benefiting health, and brings joys, peace and love. In this whole practice of ancient yoga, great sex is just a by-product.

In other yoga and fitness regimens the focus is on the external muscles of the physical body, whereas in the practice of tantra the emphasis in on the isolation and exercise of the internal muscles, including the muscles of the mind. Tantra yoga is revealed as a wholesome wholesome approach to sexual processes, and can be learned even if you are unaware of any yoga practices before. Quite a few of the exercises, meditations and dances are extremely fun to perform and the best part is that they also serve a deeper objective.

More than a thousand years ago, Tibetan and Indian meditation gurus were already practicing this extremely secret tradition known as tantra. At present, we blend this esoteric eastern knowledge with modern western practices to improve the internal organs, stimulate the endocrine glands that produce hormones, and balance energy for better creativity, health and attention.

There are many cultures that do a variation of this daunting as well as interesting technique, such as the Cheyenne in North America and the Taoists in China. They differ in their treatment of the same techniques, yet all forms intentionally cultivate sacred sexuality and make use of sexual energy for spiritual healing, growth, creativity and extreme pleasure. Celebrated movie stars and musicians like Sting and Woody Harrelson have recently given testimonials promoting tantra which is becoming the sexual learning by choice for those who want nothing but the best of all – a healthy body, a creative mind, a passionate sex life as well as spiritual growth.

The skill of mastering sexual energy is not a technique that anyone can learn in a night or attending workshops in the weekend. There is a lot more to it like activating sexual energy that rejuvenates the body and empties the mind from the stresses encountered everyday. And as far as sex is concerned, you cannot imagine the sexual fulfillment it will bring when you practice these meditative techniques regularly.

You may wonder why. The reason is that beyond the pleasure of ecstasy of the body is your own self and when you transcend your self through meditation, your heart brightens up and the full strength of your soul is restored. Perhaps you have experienced this bliss for a fleeting moment; the discipline of tantra equips you to remain in such a state for as long as you wish. When you discover that special place inside you with your lover, the energy of sexual flow takes you two to a whole new dimension where the coming together of energy and consciousness becomes an organic representation of the Divine Union.

Tantric sexual merging makes use of breathing exercises, muscle contraction exercises, visualizations, sound and affirmations, sensual message, meditation, sexual play, and other ritual practices that al together a scared loving space. In order to slowly prepare a highly sexual energy charge to join each other in ecstatic states of divine lovemaking, the Tantric lovers carry on with their intimacies for many hours, tasting out of the world stages of pleasure.

A part of the delightful experience of tantra is that there is no end to it and you can continue to advance and grow with the years, it is extraordinary in its potential for growth and more growth. Also, it is a technique that shows you immediate results.

Blissfulness, peace of mind, self confidence, better memory and attention span, better health, creativity, a loving relationship and living the kind of life you have always dreamed about with all things in its proper place means you have found the you in you. When you experience the fruits of hard labor, your life will take a brilliantly new turn – for your own well being.
