The Essence Of Tantra Goddess Worship

Ancient tantra accords a place of highest reverence for the Divine Feminine – in other words, woman. In tantric practice, woman is accepted as the wellspring of all creation, and is worshiped accordingly.

This is one of the first things that a tantra teacher has to bring across to his students. Tantra goddess worship is not just a tantric ritual – it is a mind-set, an attitude and a new way of seeing existence as it really is.

Without awareness of the fact that every woman, without exception, is the Divine Feminine incarnate, no progress is possible on the path of learning tantra. However, this awareness is hard to inculcate in the minds of most men. Modern society has retained most of the misogynist attitudes that religions have been teaching throughout the centuries. Man is given a place of honour, while woman is expected to serve man and remain in the background.

In the context of ancient tantra, this is a major aberration – the truth is that the divinity of woman is paramount in the cosmic scheme of things. In fact, man has always been aware of the fact that there is immense creative power vested in woman. Throughout the ages, this awareness has intimidated him and led him to subjugate woman in all things. He has laboured under the notion that something this powerful must be controlled or it will overwhelm him.

In the practice of tantra goddess worship, and the adoption of tantric goddess worship as a new outlook on life, this warped trend is reversed and the natural balance is restored.

Nor is there any such thing as pure male and pure female. I say this as a tantra teacher, but every culture has known and accepted at some level that both genders carry elements of the other within them. The ancient symbol of Ying and Yang depicts this most aptly.

Yes, there is a bit of feminine even in the most macho man you can think of. There is a bit of man even in the most feminine woman conceivable. When we engage in tantric goddess worship, we adore not only the Divine Feminine within our woman but also the element of the same power within us.

For every student of tantra studying under a genuine tantric master, coming into this realization is the beginning of a profound spiritual awakening. It is the beginning of a level of joy in relationships that cannot be matched by any of the New Age techniques that hope to achieve a deeper bond between the two sexes.

Are you ready for this awakening? Do you yearn for such depth in your relationship with your significant other? Ancient tantra holds the answers and shows the path.

The Power Of Tantra Goddess Worship

A tantra teacher is often asked why ancient tantra gives such a very high level of importance to the female of the human species. To this, I say that the concept of the tantra goddess is the focal point of this emphasis. Just as various religions offer devotion to their respective idols, a person following the tantric path worships the divine feminine in the form of the tantra goddess.

In fact, tantra goddess worship binds a man-woman relationship like nothing else can. The spiritual energy which is created with the regular practice of tantra goddess worship is extremely powerful and can be likened to the magnetic energy that binds two appropriately charged metal objects together. Both the worshiper and the worshiped are immensely empowered and transformed in tantric goddess worship.

For the man, his connection to the tantric goddess in his life allows him to tap into her divine attributes, and into the cosmic aspects of her sensuousness. When the masculine and feminine energies merge in this act of worship, both are filled with a sense of joy and fulfillment which no other human experience can match.

This is the reason why the tantra goddess is the focus of ancient tantra, and the central figure in all tantric practices. Every woman is the embodiment of Shakti, the celestial consort of Shiva, with whom she shares a connection of such power that humans may see it as the ultimate male-female relationship model and most worthy of emulation.

As a tantra teacher, I must emphasize that this connection is not merely sexual. While sex is certainly an inextricable part of human intimacy, tantra aims to elevate human relationships above the mere physical level and infuse them with divine attributes. This is not achievable merely by good intentions but must be backed by actual practice.

Tantra goddess worship takes many forms, and a tantra teacher must initiate those seeking to follow the tantric path into the specific tantric rituals and practices involved in tantra goddess worship.

When a woman becomes the object of such worship, she blooms like a rose. In the absence of the right soil nutrients, water and adequate sunlight, a rose can survive but never flourish. It cannot spread its beauty and fragrance to the world. But when the right elements are available, a rose becomes a thing of beauty and delight to others.

Needless to say, the beloved of a woman who blooms under the influence of tantric goddess worship receives her choicest blessings. She becomes as devoted to him as he is to her. And this is the essence of the tantric relationship.

Are you willing to elevate your relationship with your beloved to such a divine status? Do you wish to experience the ultimate joy of the tantric relationship? The do not hesitate – seek out a genuine tantra master and begin your journey on this spiritual path of joy and fulfillment.

The Benefits Of Tantra Yoga for Women

Tantra yoga for women is a much larger concept that most would believe. It definitely is not merely about making the woman a more suitable receptacle of a man’s sexual advances. Yoga is an ancient Indian system of postures and exercises that strengthen the body and lend it more flexibility. This promotes overall health and helps channel all energy more fruitfully – whether it is sexual or spiritual energy.

Today’s stressful and hectic pace of life has not spared women – they are as subject to fatigue and burnout as men are. Tantra yoga is a refined form of the ancient yogic sciences that calms the mind and promotes energy. It is quite different from conventional forms of exercise; we tend to consume energy in sports and other strenuous exercises, while tantra yoga actually generates energy. Taught by an experienced tantra teacher, tantric yoga is in fact a great boon to the modern woman.

In tantric yoga, slow and steady movements are used to segue from one posture into another. The practitioner maintains each posture for a certain prescribed period, breathing calmly and unhurriedly. A full sequence of tantra yoga exercises is usually followed by a period of quiet meditation. The tantra master supervising the process often provides calming instructions and suggestions to induce this meditative state.

Tantric yoga is an ideal way for women to regain health and wellbeing. The very nature of this system is gentleness, which is the essential virtue of the sacred feminine. There is very little danger of injury if tantra yoga is practiced under the guidance of an experienced tantric teacher. At no point is the yogic student required to go beyond endurance limits. The accent is on smooth, balanced and symmetric movements and postures which stretch, tone and energize every part of the body. The emphasis on symmetry and balance brings with it mental and emotional balance, as well.

Contrary to misconceptions, women of all ages can practice tantric yoga without limitations. A good tantra teacher will be able to modify and customize the postures and stretches according to age and physical condition. Tantra yoga is a stress-free, powerful and extremely effective exercise system that can work miracles for women of all age groups and body types. If a woman wants a healthy way of life that is free from strain and stress, she should most definitely learn tantra yoga under a qualified tantra master.

To answer a final question that will doubtlessly arise in the mind of the reader – yes, tantra yoga also revitalizes a woman’s sexual experience and enjoyment. Both physically and emotionally, this system enables her to reach her fullest sexual potential. However, this is not the primary objective of tantra yoga. It is merely one of the many benefits it brings with it.
