So, read on to learn more about Tantra and how it can significantly change your life.
Tantra: Its History and Principles
Tantra is an ancient esoteric tradition that originated in ancient India, and it finds its roots in Hinduism and Buddhism. The “tan” in tantra is for “instrument'' and the “tra” means “for expansion”. This is the main principle of tantra; using your body as a vessel or instrument to expand your being. Tantra exists solely to expand your consciousness and help you celebrate life. Lots of spiritual practices completely ignore the importance of the mortal self and the human body, but Tantra courses teach you to use your physical being as a vessel for cosmic energy. When you practice tantra and tantric massages, you are learning to be more intimate with not just your partner, but yourself as well, and so you form a deep bond and connection to the universe. Tantra shouldn’t be considered a “religion” per se, nor is it a cult. It’s just a very beautiful spiritual practice that is commonly misunderstood because of its popularization as a “great way to have sex” in the ‘60s. Tantra truly isn’t all about sex, though. It expands much farther than that. Sex is just a tool used in Tantra for this very expansion. In fact, out of all the 64 ancient scriptures on Tantra, only around 10% of it is sex-oriented. Tantrics believe in indulging and truly experiencing life, so they believe that whatever you do, you must do it mindfully and be fully present. Whether it's making love, or simply eating food. Tantrics will teach you that everyday things that we brush off as simple and routine, can also be life-changing experiences. Tantra teaches you to see the magic in everyday life. Tantra And Your Body’s Chakras
Tantra is very closely related to your chakras, AKA the energy points in your body. There’s a tantric theory that talks about aligning these chakras and allowing all the cosmic energy to build up and “fountain out”. This basically means, that once you reach enlightenment, the rivers of energy flow through your chakras and then out of the topmost chakra, into your surroundings, because when you are healed internally, your spiritual energy will flow out in abundance. Kundalini yoga has a large focus on chakras and was actually derived from Tantra.
If you’re wondering what your chakras are and what they signify in relation to Tantric sex, here’s a simple breakdown of it:
Root Chakra: In order to tap into your root chakra energy and heal it, you’re meant to let go of all inhibitions and practice some seriously wild and loud sex! This chakra tells you to go back to your roots as an animalistic being and really truly indulge in the sex you are having. This type of sex tends to be explosive in nature.
Sacral Chakra: Also fondly called the “sexual chakra” because of its position in your body, this chakra’s energy can be tapped into with sex-based on physical attraction, creativity and romance. Sex focusing on this chakra is all about wet and sloppy kisses and fantasies.
Solar Plexus Chakra: The energy of this chakra focuses on power roles and how you can overcome them with S&M and rough, passionate sex.
Heart Chakra: Opening your heart chakra allows you to give and accept love wholeheartedly. To tap into this chakra’s energy, you must practice sex that is not on a need-basis. This type of sex is gentle and angelic in nature, with a focus on servicing and caring for each other. It’s all about that soft and intimate universal love, baby!
Throat Chakra: The throat chakra predominantly focuses on your communication. This type of sexual energy is very pure and delicate and seems to transcend time. To tap into this energy, one must practice mindful and loving communication. This is the point where your physical activities start to transcend into spirituality.
Third Eye Chakra: Once you’ve reached this chakra, you are full of healing energy and are ecstatic even without physical contact. This stage focuses on meditating on sacred geometry and imagery.
Crown Chakra: This chakra is where your blessed divine energy will overflow from when you’ve attained “Samadhi” or total unity.
Some Tantric Practices You May Do In Your Tantra Course
Eye Contact: This one’s integral to tantra! Without eye contact, you can’t establish a holy and transparent connection with your partner (or yourself, gazing into a mirror). A very common practice you’ll be taught is the art of “eye-gazing”. The eyes are the windows into the soul and through mindful eye contact, you can understand your partner as they are, the clothes and armour of your spirits removed.
Kegel/PC Exercises: You’ll be taught how to control your kegel muscles efficiently. You’ll have to practice 3 forms of exercise here: - Contracting the front muscles, i.e. the ones that make you stop urinating - The back muscles, i.e. the anal squeeze - Your mid-point, i.e. the perineum You may even have to use a yoni egg for these practices, to truly master the art of controlling your floor muscles.
Tantric Massage: You’ll learn how to give (and receive) tantric massages. Your Dakini/Daka (tantric guru) will teach you all the pleasure and pressure points so you’ll know how to give amazing yoni/lingam massages for prolonged and explosive pleasure!
Sexual Positions: You’ll also learn some very vital sexual positions for Tantra. These positions focus on the Shiva (masculine energy) and the Shakti (feminine energy) that both lie within you and your partner. Sign up to learn more!
A Very Frequently Asked Question
The most common question tantra practitioners are asked is, “does tantra really make you last longer in bed?” and another very popular question is, “can you really have multiple orgasms, even as a man?”.
The truth is, yes. For both. Tantra teaches you to not focus on the “end-goal” of sex and rather to focus on the loving journey leading to it, where you and your partner (or you and yourself!) are combined in a holy spiritual union. By losing focus on the end goal, you surrender all your expectations to the void, and so you are more present in the moment. This mindfulness leads to increased amounts of pleasure, which in turn make you last longer and can allow you to have more than one orgasm, even as a man.
Conclusion
In conclusion, what you can expect from tantra classes and tantra courses, is to come out of your shell and rejuvenate your spirit. You’ll learn how to harness your dormant energy and truly understand yourself and the collective consciousness of the universe.
