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 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.

Tantra For Women – An Exercise To Awaken Sensuality

A tragic fact is that the gender with the greatest potential for mind-blowing sexual pleasure, the ultimate erotic tantra experience, usually settles for much less.

As a tantra teacher, I condemn the excessive cultural emphasis placed on a man’s virility, and on the fact that a man’s orgasm is essential for procreation. Ancient tantra has always recognized that women, whose sexual satisfaction has ironically been downplayed for years, are the ones who are capable of multiple orgasms.

Women across cultures have been settling for bland, unsatisfying sex or no sex at all. They are unaware of the latent tantra goddess within, and therefore miss out on or ignore the very thing that could give them what all woman crave:

•    More intimacy and closeness
•    Their partner’s undivided attention, both within and beyond the bedroom
•    Overall life satisfaction
•    Confidence in their erotic appeal and attractiveness
•    Confidence in a secure, happy relationship

Even for women who report a general sense of satisfaction with sex, the ancient art of tantra can open up a whole world of pleasure beyond what they normally experience.

Tantra scriptures believe that sexual satisfaction is vital for strong emotional bonds. Both men and women experience deeper feelings of love and attachment when they share exquisite sexual pleasure and powerful desire.

I give below an esoteric tantra technique known as ‘Shakti ambuddhi paddati’. This ancient technique is designed to increase a woman’s sensual receptiveness and sensitivity to physical and emotional stimulation – in short, to awaken the tantra goddess within her and make her an active, eager and excited partner.

This tantra exercise also acts as a subconscious sexual ‘tonic’ in that it helps balance hormones, create proper sexual function and increase libido in women. This particular exercise for women must be done at night, preferably between 1 to 4 am (the specific time is related to the breathing cycle).

•    Lie on your back with your arms along your sides and relax.
•    Exhale, then inhale deeply, relaxing all the muscles in your body
•    Slowly exhale as you squeeze your 1st and 2nd chakras and the adjoining muscles, trying to pull your energy as deeply inward as you can. Do not strain while squeezing – this tantra exercise is not meant to be exhausting
•    After exhaling, relax your 1st and 2nd chakra muscles for 10 minutes
•    Repeat the inhaling and exhaling as you squeeze 1st and 2nd chakra muscles 10-15 times slowly
•    Relax, then repeat the exercise if you feel comfortable

Tantra for women influences mind, body and soul simultaneously and is best practiced under the careful guidance and supervision of an experienced tantra teacher. Amateur instructions or attempts to self-practice tantra will not result in optimum benefits. It requires the expert guidance and supervision of a qualified tantra master to get the most out of such techniques, and to prevent possible physical and emotional harm.
