To understand what Tantra is you really have to start living it, because when you do all pieces of tantra start to fall into place. But to describe it in simple words. Tantra is an very ancient system of expansion of our consciousness. Tantra allows us to be fully human, and allow us to experience pleasure and using our bodies to come to the highest forms of our selves and Samsara It means in Sanskrit: Loom, and refers to the woven fabric of everything that exist. We are a part of this fabric and Tantra "the loom" helps us weave ourself into this fabric in a very exclusive way. Its techniques uses self-knowledge and self-improvement, very much like yoga and ayurveda and if practise leads us to our highest self both physical and spiritual.
Tantra therefore is a journey of self discovery and is very helpfull for dealing with our daily lives.
Its techniques can help us with our health, cleaning our bodies, finding mental balance, and having loving relationships with ourself and others.
Tantra is a practical system of spiritual development that sets as its goal the full realisation of the Divine nature. Devotion is a big part of Tantra where you become, as you dive deeper into it, more devoted to your practise, to your deities and your guru.
For me its all about the holiness, how to make things holy and sacred again, from eating your food, to cleaning your body or making love, it is now done with a holy, mindful approach.
When we learn tantra it is important to have an open mind and a childlike mind, because many of the exercises will be challenging, but as you learn to let go of shame and fear tantra takes you on a very deep dive into who you truly are. You become authentic. Free from ideas and norms that was put upon you ,that has molded you into your life today.
Study your patterns. The ultimate wisdom comes from knowing your why´s. Why you feel it. Why you do it. Why you repeat it. Knowing your why´s gives you clarity about who you are. And when you know who you are you become powerful. /Sovereign.collective
Tantra is not all about sex, and I will repeat this over and over. Because if you come to a class or enter into tantra practise with hope and need for some sexual activity you are in for the wrong reasons. Tantra is however to work with the sexual energy. The life force energy and awakening this energy has great benefits for us humans. If this energy is alive and vibrate you will go through life with more easy. You will have more energy and more creativity, you will feel younger and have more stamina.
Unless you are different, Tantra cannot be understood because Tantra is not an intellectual proposition, it is an experience. Unless you are receptive, ready, vulnerable to the experience, it is not going to come to you. Philosophy is concerned with the mind. Your head is enough; your totality is not required. Tantra needs you in your totality. It is a deeper challenge. You will have to be in it wholly. It is not fragmentary. A different approach, a different attitude, a different mind to receive it is required.
