The Spiritual Roots Of Tantra Yoga

Much is written on tantra yoga, but it is important to understand what differentiates tantric yoga from other forms. Like everything else about the tantric way of life, this form of yoga has very deep roots in the human experience.

The principles of Tantra Yoga are based on an amalgamation of various sciences and spiritual studies, including astrology, astronomy, psychology, chemistry, physics, numerology and the ancient Indian herbal medicine system of Ayurveda. Tantra yoga has a basis in all these disciplines, and is therefore a profound practice with roots in a wide cross-section of human existence.

When a student learns tantra yoga under and experienced tantra teacher, he or she will experience an incredible expansion of awareness in every state of consciousness. However, it is first necessary for the tantra teacher to de-program the student’s mind. Tantra yoga requires a relatively pure and innocent state of mind and awareness in which to take hold and flourish.

The deprogramming process in teaching tantra yoga is not always pleasant, since the student of tantra needs to question many erroneous beliefs and practices that keep him or her from evolving into a higher state of spiritual awareness. There are many social, familial or experiential influences that crowd our mind, and these are constantly working in the background to rob us of mental peace and spiritual equilibrium.

Since these ‘programs’ are contrary to what tantra yoga requires, they are first exposed and then cleaned from the mind and soul. This requires a master’s touch and a whole lot of compassion. This is why tantric yoga should never be taught by anyone but an accomplished tantra master.

Throughout the learning process, the tantra student is introduced to various techniques to identify and eliminate the contaminants of the soul and the psyche. Disruptive factors that poison thoughts and emotions are faced and overcome, and the result is freedom from ignorance, intolerance and pointless, bestial lust. These are replaced by knowledge, a sense of oneness with all things and the awakening of sacred sexuality.

Tantra yoga finally brings with it a welling up of tantra energy – energy which was hitherto misunderstood and either abused or sadly under-utilized. In this state of psychic and spiritual renewal, regular practice of tantra yoga under the auspices of a genuine tantra teacher will yield profound results. In fact, life itself is reinvented.

The various postures and meditation techniques of tantric yoga constantly purify mind, body and soul, detoxifying the practitioner at every level of existence and bringing peace, harmony and spiritual wellbeing.

Finding The Right Tantra Online Course For You

Have you ever wondered if you can indeed learn the secrets of tantric sex? If there is tantra workshop or tantra teacher available anywhere near to where you live, learning tantra online is definitely an option. Both singles and couples can learn the tantra secrets of extraordinary lovemaking in this manner. If chosen correctly, the online tantra course can lead to vastly enhanced sex and happiness in your relationship.

While choosing an online tantra for couples course, make sure that it has been crafted with both men and women in mind. Since you will not have the benefit of a physical tantra master, the module should present you with an integrated system that meets all your needs as a couple.

What are the necessary ingredients of a comprehensive tantra online course? It should help both partners to learn and practice tantra techniques that tackle various aspects of sex, including tackling mismatched sexual desire levels and basic muscle control exercises to prolong and enhance sexual pleasure for both partners.

However, since tantra is fundamentally a spiritual science, the module should also include tantric meditation techniques, tantra goddess worship rituals and chakra optimization methods.

A tantra online course should provide the students with the fundamental means and methods of transforming sex into a sacred experience. In order to achieve this, it must incorporate information on men’s and women’s sexual and emotional needs. Only once this aspect has been clarified in the mind of a tantra student will the more advanced teachings be able to take hold.

Avoid courses that focus only on populist themes such as maintaining erections indefinitely, mastering ejaculation, multiple orgasms, etc. The promotional copy for such courses will be replete with such ‘keywords’, because the copywriters know that it is such keywords that get the highest online search results. Look for a tantra online course crafted by genuine tantra teacher who focuses both on the spiritual and physical aspects of tantra.

It is indeed possible to achieve considerable knowledge of tantric techniques to enhance your love life and sexual experience by a tantric online course. However, one should take care not to fall prey to frauds. If learned correctly, tantra can make a huge difference in your relationship and take your sex life to a much higher level. On the other hand, being exposed to a scam will only ruin your thirst for genuine knowledge. Don’t allow this to happen.

Basic Tantra Massage Guidelines

Tantric Massage is only one aspect of learning and practicing tantra. Other vital components that the tantra teacher will instruct his pupils in are tantric yoga, meditation, breathing and sexual techniques.

One of the most basic fundamentals of tantra massage is that the giver and receiver must have a pre-existing emotional bond. By this definition, all commercialized tantric massage services fly out of the window. It is almost impossible for a woman or man to enjoy and benefit from a tantra massage if she or he receives it from a stranger. The element of trust and intimacy is paramount in all tantric techniques, tantra exercises and tantra rituals.

A tantric massage must take place in a setting that is conducive to complete relaxation and whatever intimate contact may follow. Obviously, it must also provide complete privacy and freedom from potential disturbances. Therefore, all contact with the outside world must be cut off. The surface on which the massage will take place should be equipped with a comfortable mattress or mat with a freshly laundered sheet. Rolled-up towels to support the neck and knees are essential.

For the tantra massage, only high-quality massage oil should be used. Ideally, the intimate atmosphere should be further enhanced with incense, candle light and soft devotional music. I personally recommend a prolonged musical recitation of the Avalokitasvara Sutra, which is commonly chanted at Buddhist temples in East Asia. It is the perfect musical backdrop for a tantric massage.

Begin this tantric ritual with the recipient lying on his or her stomach. Start with a gentle foot massage and then shift your ministrations to the neck and shoulders. These areas have vital pressure points which, if attended to with light but firm massage strokes, release relaxation throughout the body. The masseur can then proceed to massage the upper middle and lower back, continuing in these areas until all the knots and tension have been worked out from the muscles there. Then gently turn the recipient over so that you can work on the front.

Remember that this form of massage is not just about relaxation but also about building up the tantra energy in the recipient’s body. As this energy is liberated and begins to flow, Kundalini is awakened. This energizes and balances the Chakras – energy centers that are distributed along the central axis of the body. By energizing the chakras, you unleash various physical and emotional benefits in the recipient.

It is perfectly alright for the massage to be followed by sexual activity, but at least half an hour of patient massage should precede such activity. If your partner is fully relaxed as a result of the tantra massage, the lovemaking can indeed be spectacular.
