The Amazing Power Of Tantra Yoga

Tantra yoga, when practiced regularly under the instructions of a qualified tantra master, benefits a student of tantra in multi-fold ways. In the first place, tantra yoga gives us a complete picture of our Being. The importance of this cannot be over-emphasized.

In routine modern life, we do not recognize or acknowledge how our mind and various body parts should work together in synchronicity. Regular practice of tantra yoga raises awareness of this vital synchronous functioning. This awareness helps us to live in the moment – a very important spiritual principle. It also encourages us to appreciate and respect this mind-body unit we have been blessed with on our earthly journey.

Practice of tantra yoga also creates an awareness of the spiritual power – our tantric energy – which lies dormant within until awakened. From awareness and the harnessing of this tantric energy springs forth the ability enjoy everything much more, including (but certainly not limited to) intimate contact with our partner. When tantric energy is unleashed with diligent pursuit of tantra yoga, it cleanses and unblocks the mind-body-spirit connection which is so essential for all other aspects of tantra practice.

Not least of all, tantra yoga is an important tool in achieving mental and physical relaxation. In the pursuit of our daily lives, we invite and harbour stresses which no feat of modern medicine can free us of. Medicine is helpless in the face of chronic stress because it is a spiritual malaise, not a medical one. The meditation techniques you learn in tantric instruction sessions cut through the Gordian knot of stress with a ‘slow knife’.

It is a mistake to approach any form of yoga as a means of healing. The quest for healing implies that there is something wrong with you. While this may be true, yoga itself does not focus on negatives. It is part of a spiritual path that accepts everything human ‘as is’, not ‘as it should be’, In other words, you can embrace the practice and benefits of tantra yoga no matter what your mental, physical or spiritual condition is.

No matter what your current state is, tantra yoga will awaken your mind, allow you to access the latent spiritual energy within and have a more complete and holistic earthly journey. Your tantra teacher will be your guide on this journey – follow his instructions, and do not attempt to rush the process. The various kriyas and mudras of tantric yoga may at times seem tedious, but each of them serves as a tool in the larger purpose.

Above all, focus on the spiritual principles of this ancient path of love and life. Most people tend to seek out a tantra teacher because they want to pep up their sex lives. While sex is an important part of the journey, it is not an integral one. When your mind, body and spirit have achieved a sufficient level of synchronicity by the practice of tantra yoga and tantric meditation, spiritual sex comes naturally and joyfully into your life.

Do You Need To Learn Tantra?

Chances are that you have come across the word ‘tantra’ often enough before. You may even know that tantra is basically the art of spiritual sex. (While this definition is a limited one, it is fundamentally correct.) You may have asked yourself – would I benefit from finding a tantra teacher and learning tantra?

The best way to find an answer to this question is to do a reality check on the quality of intimacy you and your partner have now. Do you discern a rift in your relationship with him or her? Is this rift threatening to widen if the trend continues? Is sex more of a routine thing than the blissful union of two loving people that it should be? When sex does occur, is mutual orgasm more of a happy coincidence than the norm?

If the answer to some of these questions is ‘yes’, you and your partner would definitely benefit from professional tantra instructions. Your relationship is sacred in the eyes of the cosmos. It was never meant to be a mere arrangement of convenience. Sex was never meant to be routine.

Thousands of years ago, the ancient tantra masters established that the root of misery in most human lives is lack of or faulty intimacy. They formulated a science of physical and spiritual love, based on meditation and yogic precepts. This science also factored in one the most fundamental truths of modern psychology – sexual repression causes the human spirit to wither and die.

This is how tantra was born. The knowledge of sacred sexuality was passed down from one tantra teacher to another, to be put to use wherever lack of intimacy was strangling relationships. Under the guidance of an accomplished tantra master, this healing art can rescue of your relationship too.

You may have already done some reading up on tantra. The prospect of the much-touted multiple tantra orgasm may have initially attracted you to it. You and your intimate partner may even have attempted some of the tantric techniques outlined in books on the subject. If these efforts have not yielded satisfactory results, don’t be surprised.

Tantra is a systematic science, and there are no shortcuts. Only a genuine tantra teacher can help you discover and benefit from this ancient science of love and life.  It involves an internal awakening of your sacred core, which can only come once the authentic tantric teachings are fully understood and then put into practice. You need the guidance of a qualified tantric master who has received this knowledge from its source.

If your relationship seems stagnant and lifeless now, you and your partner are definitely candidates for tantric instructions. Tantra has rejuvenated countless relationships through the ages, fulfilling its original purpose time and again. Do you wish to give yourself and your loved one the gift of sacred sexuality? There is no time like the present to begin.

How To Apply Tantra Techniques To Life, Love And Sex

As we all know, tantra techniques are a system of meditation that encompasses the most dynamic principles of tantra yoga, mudras and yantras. In fact, tantra, as an area of study and as a way of life, holds immense self-transformative potential for the human mind.

However, it is necessary to acquire thorough understanding of Tantra under the guidance of a qualified tantra teacher in order to experience the life-transforming powers of tantra techniques.

As a student of tantra, you will learn:

•    Specific, time-triggered reciting of tantric mantras (energized tantric sounds and incantations)
•    The use of various tantra yoga techniques that includes pranayama (tantra breathing) and tantric yantra visualizations in a structured process of tantra meditation

By activating the tantric mandalas, it is possible attain spiritual enlightenment. In fact, samadhi (or supreme enlightenment) relies heavily on various tantra techniques and teachings. Yes, that’s right – it is  possible to achieve an extremely high level of awareness with the help of the tantra path).

At the end of this path lies an unexplainable joy – the state of ‘Sat-Chit-Ananda’. Following the path that leads to this state – and finally attaining it  -  is the penultimate purpose of these techniques and practices.

Okay, now for the big question – how does tantra work in life and love (and before you even ask, in sex?) Well, the fact is that apart from its spiritual applications, tantra also has great relevance in our day-to-day existence. It can improve any area of our lives, and that includes the emotional and physical realms.

Globally, tantra has received a ‘sexy’ tag. Though not entirely inappropriate, the misdirected publicity that has put the full focus on the sex-enhancing powers of tantra has been the bane of the tantra master.

As any tantra teacher will tell you, sex is just one of the most integral aspects of the tantric path. Unfortunately, countless men across the globe have wasted a lot of their time and money trying to find in tantra the fountainhead of everlasting youth and sexual satisfaction to help them keep going all night.

Let me clarify – yes, it is absolutely possible to enhance your sexual performance and pleasure through tantric techniques. However, there is no shortcut to sexual tantra nirvana – the fundamental techniques must be practiced under the tutelage of an authentic tantra teacher before that can happen.

Some of initial lessons may appear unnecessary, but they themselves are not the final goal. Rather, they are essential psycho-spiritual tools for achieving specific levels of tantric awareness. And as soon as proficiency in their practice is achieved, they segue naturally into the advanced techniques that add the sought-after ‘orgasmic heights’.
