Harness The Power Of The Tantra Goddess In Your Relationship

Ancient tantra, the definitive art of life and love, sees sexual relationships as an important path for tantric spiritual advancement. By default, those who practice tantra also create a unique bond of sacred love with their partner. When the relationship between partners is experienced in spiritual mode, the woman becomes a tantra goddess, and this catalyzes an uncanny closeness – a deeper connection defined by fun, laughter and supremely enjoyable sensations to enhance the relationship.

Tantra views woman as avatar of the archetypal tantra goddess. Her vagina is referred to as the ‘yoni’, or ‘sacred space’. This reverence is a typical expression of tantric love, and comprehending its deeper meaning unleashes a cosmic dance between the inner tantra god and tantra goddess. Tantra love manifests with a sense of losing oneself in this incarnation. The actual union of the tantra god and tantra goddess within our hearts leads to a relationship that is complete in all respects.

The integral concept behind the tantra goddess ‘puja’ (worship) is that all the subtle sensual energies are visualized to be residing within the body. They are worshipped, invoked and welcomed as honoured guests at the feast of love. Tantric energy chants and rituals are offered to this deity of divine womanhood with specific energy-sounds, which are hummed and visualized within her.

Followers of ancient tantra worship the tantra goddess through the invocations of the ‘Dasa Mahavidyas’ and the nine tantric chakras. Under the guidance of an accomplished tantra teacher, students find themselves turning inwards and becoming aware of deep spiritual truths. They awaken to their dormant inner energy (essential for great sex) and experience an enhancement of their bodies’ sensitivity. The tantra master guides them in expressing their innermost feelings and emotions to achieve holistic communion with their partners. This communion is eventually expressed in every single aspect of the relationship.

The sexual energy lying dormant within all of us is most effectively awakened through the worship of the tantra goddess. It channels tantric energy throughout the body and percolates into every facet of life, expressing itself most powerfully in romantic and sexual relationships. It is a time-tested path to pleasure, sensuality, satisfaction and intimacy in relationships.

A relationship in the context of ancient tantra is a quest of continuously seeking and finding states of happiness and delight. Refining our pleasures through the instructions of a tantra master helps us attain advanced levels of spiritual accomplishment. We experience the ultimate purity of being in love. As we master the intricacies of tantra breathing and visualizations, we are able to draw life-force
and sexual energy up the ‘Sushumna Nadi’ and further to the chakras in the brow (Agyna chakra) and the crown (Sahasrara chakra). This ignites all the chakras on the way up. This concentration of tantra energy then spreads across the body, so that it becomes sensually alive.

How does the way of the tantra goddess help you?

Your partner will adore the way you meet her needs. It will bring renewed love and spice into your relationship. Tantra believes that lovemaking is a heightened state of mind that starts long before you get to the bedroom. Can you truly consider your emotional, sexual and spiritual existence complete without understanding and harnessing its secrets?

Tantra Instruction – The Forgotten Treasure Of Vigyan Bhairav Tantra

Today, the sacred tantra scripture called Vigyan Bhairav Tantra has been reduced to just one of many meditation manuals. While several amateur adaptations are available online, the original version has never appeared on public domains. With its true essence thus obscured, most will never know the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra actually stood for – and what it does not stand for.

True, Vigyan bhairav tantra is an ancient treatise outlining 112 fundamental tantra meditation techniques. However, it is not to be mistaken for a meditation bible, for it explains tantra techniques that do not only train just our minds. Vigyan Bhairav Tantra is a 10,000-year-old tantra scripture meant to catalyze the expansion of consciousness, mind, body and soul.

Tantra is a very practical philosophy, and with ardent practice of this ancient art you  can develop a personal spiritual connection with the flow of your life. You can then reach and out tap into the Divinity that exists within you. Vigyan Bhairav Tantra is a holistic approach to life that honors and respects all aspects of your being, including sexuality, love and spirituality.

An ardent student of tantra would do well do avoid the many so-called ‘commentaries’ on this fabulous treatise, which has its deeper meanings inbuilt within the original text in Sanskrit. The Vigyan Bhairav Tantra is not an intellectual or philosophical work that can be absorbed in a retreat or workshop. A qualified tantra teacher can instruct you in its essential teachings to aid you in your  tantra lessons, but the complete work required at least a decade and a half to master.

This scripture – one of the most revered in ancient tantra – explains the exact breath techniques Gautama Buddha used to achieve spiritual enlightenment. The Buddha’s Vipassana meditation method is well-known for being ‘one of His techniques’,  but it is not generally known that it is based firmly on the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. Most religious and spiritual schools of the world have borrowed heavily from the various methods and techniques it offers without acknowledging it as their source. For example, Gurdjieff formulated his famous techniques on the lines prescribed by this ancient tantra scripture and introduced them to the West under his own name.

The student of tantra must understand that this ancient treatise is not only about the systematization of breath. Rather, it teaches us to use breath as a technique to bring about pure consciousness. This consciousness is essential if we are to begin exploring the sexual aspects of tantra, which cannot be divorced  from deep spirituality. Via the techniques taught by Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, we learn to harness energy that is otherwise wastefully expelled through mundane sexual intercourse. It changes the way we perceive sex. We learn to see it as much more than just a peaking of erotic energy that must be released and then done away with.

Tantra Yoga – Benefits and Prerequisites For Practice

Tantra Yoga is a much talked-about term, but what is it and what does it take to practice tantra yoga? Quite simply, it is a set of tantra exercises that harnesses extremely potent power for spiritual regeneration.

Because of this power, it lies at the fundaments of ancient tantra practice.Tantra yoga lays special emphasis on the development of the powers latent in our six chakras, from Muladhara to Ajna. It should be clarified here that tantra yoga is not concerned with sexuality, but with creative force and transmuting the energy of this force into higher channels.

This revered and highly efficacious form of tantra practice involves deep meditation, in which the student of tantra sits calmly and purifies the mind and heart of wayward thoughts and desires.Tantra yoga is a ritual path, and is often grossly misunderstood and wrongly practiced. The fact is that its practitioners must have purity, humility, devotion, courage, dedication to their tantra teacher, a deep understanding of cosmic love, faithfulness, contentment, dispassion, non-covetousness and honesty. This form of yoga is a process that can unfold one’s spiritual nature through the constant worship of the energy within, collectively known as Shakti.

Practiced diligently under the guidance of an accomplished tantra master, it brings about an awakening of the self.Tantra yoga does not limit itself to a particular branch of study – rather, it incorporates in it diverse elements which are linked by a unifying rule of Tantra Dharma. It aims to bring about consciousness in all states of human life – the conscious state, the waking state and the dream state. It is a path and practice that teaches the methods and ways by which we can discard intolerance, ignorance, selfishness and the animal instinct that lives in all of us.Tantra believes teaches us that the primary driving force behind the Universe isnothing but desire, and that desires are very natural for a soul residing in a human body.

Tantra yoga brings physical and mental cleansing through Pranayama (tantra breathing exercises) the visualization of energized energy vortexes (yantra) and deities, the repetition of mantras (energized sounds/words) etc. It is a holistic means of studying of the macrocosm from microcosmic point of view.When a student of tantra practices tantra yoga under a tantra teacher, he or she will soon be able to identify a wide range of factors that impact our thoughts and feelings. Regular practice of this most basic – and yet most powerful – manifestation of ancient tantra inculcates the contentedness, concentration and focus which are needed to release our consciousness from its inherent limitations.

In short – tantra states that desires are natural, and tantra yoga provides practical means and devices to reprogram our minds and desires so that they serve us, rather than the other way round.
