How To Practice Tantra Breathing

To learn tantra breathing, you first have to understand what the science and art of tantric breathing is all about. One can get a basic insight into it by attending a tantra for couples workshop. However, there is no substitute for studying it diligently under an accomplished tantra teacher, since tantric breathing is an integral part of the overall tantra mosaic. In fact – though it may not be immediately evident, it plays an important role in enhancing one’s experience with sex and intimacy.

Essentially, tantra breathing is the diametric opposite of our normal, shallow type of respiration. A tantric breath can be perceived all the way down to the nether regions. Along the way, it ventilates and opens up every chakra, culminating with the stimulation of the chakras connected with sex.

For couples who are being initiated into tantra breathing by a tantra master, the experience can be somewhat disconcerting. In our day-to-day existence, we have learned to breathe superficially, unobtrusively and without any awareness of the process. This is all part of our instinctual desire to avoid drawing attention to ourselves.

Tantric breathing, on the other hand, is quite different. The drawing in of breath is a focused and conscious process, and is coupled with vivid visualization of what is happening. The exhalation of a tantric breath is an audible, sighing sound that has a lot in common with an orgasmic moan. In a tantra for couples setting, hearing and engaging in tantric breathing can initially be a source of discomfort to some new students. Others are okay with practicing it in a group setting, but are uncomfortable while practicing it only with their partners.

After he has helped his students overcome their initial uneasiness, the tantra master will proceed to introduce them to the next level of tantra breathing. Here, the couple engages in rhythmic tantric breathing while keeping their gazes fixed on each other. Their locked eyes must convey their desire and love for each other – each breath needs to emphatically communicate these emotions to the other. The process soon begins to stimulate their dormant sexual energy.

This awakening of the sexual core is indeed a powerful and experience. Many students of tantra are immediately seduced by it and proceed straight to sexual union.

However, your tantra teacher will caution you that the tantra energy generated by tantra breathing is meant to be harnessed and used to achieve the higher objective of sexual control. Gaining this control is what makes tantra sex the most fulfilling erotic experience you can ever have, and is a permanent and ever-appreciating gift. Squandering the energy released by tantric breathing in immediate sexual release is counter-productive and therefore discouraged by an experienced tantra teacher.

How To Delay Ejaculation: Tantra Techniques For Men

If you are a man and are not yet being guided by an experienced tantra teacher, you can still sample some of the more popular tantra techniques for men. Not surprisingly, one of the areas of highest interest for men is tantra techniques to control or delay ejaculation. While it takes extensive training under a qualified tantra master to get completely on top of this issue, there are certain tantra exercises you can use to get better control.

Also, remember that the phenomenon of the male orgasm is very different from that of the female orgasm. There is the problem of energy depletion to address. While a woman can have multiple orgasms and feel more energized after each, the male usually experiences a depletion of overall energy after climaxing. This makes the male orgasm a very important subject. To allow a man to retain his vitality after orgasm, tantra has various means for a man to ‘educate’ certain muscle groups to focus the tantra energy flow.

Though ancient tantra does not actually refer to PC muscle contractions by that particular name, many tantra techniques are prescribed to control these vital functions. In case you are wondering what the PC muscle is – sometimes referred to as the man’s ‘love muscle’, the pubococcygeus muscle is found in the region between the tailbone and the pubic bone. You contract it when you stop the flow during urination. Proper training of the PC muscle can allow a man to experience stronger, longer orgasms and thereby vastly multiply his pleasure quotient during sex.

To strengthen your PC muscle, simply replicate the contractions you use to stop urine in mid-flow in sets of 15-20 times. Begin with a single set per day and step up to twice or thrice a day. After about a month of regular PC muscle toning, you will be able to control the contractions that occur prior to and during orgasm, as well.

Another powerful tantra technique to delay the male orgasm is to apply pressure on the penis just below the glans. This technique should be performed just before ejaculation occurs, and can be done either by yourself or your partner. This may yield only marginal results in the beginning – but with practice, you will be able to stem the flow of semen and energy and thereby prolong your sexual pleasure.

For ultimate sexual control fulfillment for men, nothing is more effective than formal training under a gifted tantra teacher. If you and your partner are experiencing difficulties in your love and sex life, it is never too late to get help from an accomplished tantra master to help both of you to reach your ultimate sexual potential.
