Generating Unlimited Stamina With Sensuous Tantra Breathing

Ancient tantra practices are a means of using the natural concentration of intense passionate desire to direct our minds beyond ourselves. The purpose of learning tantra was never to justify sexual addiction or hypocrisy – rather, these practices are meant to boost general well-being as well as specific psycho-spiritual abilities. For this reason, I suggest that my students imagine their energy being released through the tops of their heads after ending their daily spiritual experience.

Tantra utilizes all our energies, and our inherent sexual energy is a very powerful and potent force that can also be harnessed for various spiritual goals and achievements. Understanding the secrets of tantra with the help of a qualified tantra master can help create a very sensual and deep connection with your partner; this connection can be used to transcend awareness of mind and body, and to be totally present in the moment. Tantra scriptures ask us to find the right partner to practice these exercises in a transformative, consciousness-raising process.

I give here a specific tantra exercise that helps us build unlimited sexual stamina with sensuous breathing. This particular exercise must be done on an empty stomach, early in the morning.

• Stretch your body by placing your palms and knees on the floor

• Kneel back and let your buttocks slide down towards your ankles; try to stretch your arms forward

• Exhale and inhale deeply, filling your lungs completely. Now hold your breath

• Slowly begin to squeeze your anal muscles and pull your anal opening as deeply inward as you can. Remember not to strain while squeezing. Relax and contract your anal muscles slowly in rapid succession.

• Repeat the squeeze-relax routine 6-9 times, or as long as is comfortable for you

• Exhale, emptying your lungs slowly. Slowly lie down on your belly and relax in this position for a while, and then repeat if you wish

Attempting such tantra exercises without guidance from an experienced tantra teacher is not advisable, since you will not derive optimum benefits. It is important to remember that some tantra exercises can cause physical and emotional harm if done without proper guidance and supervision.
