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’.

Discovering Tantra, The Ancient Art Of Pleasure

Here is a sad fact – nothing that you ever hoped to gain from the ancient art of tantra will come to fruition if you follow one of its pop-culture variants.

The market is rife with people expounding knowledge of tantra techniques that they claim to have acquired from the East. The fact is that many of them have only been exposed to or understood limited aspects of the vast body of tantra knowledge.

You, who seek the true path, need more than superficial knowledge and concoctions of half-truths mixed with New Age fables aimed at a good, fast read. There is a reason why there is so much secrecy surrounding the authentic spiritual Tantra practices – it is meant only for true seekers.

The tantric way is far from easy. It is Tantra is the very life blood of spiritual practice, and this blood rushes in hot streams. It has the power to utterly vanquish all futile concepts of happiness and replace them with a fierce new path of unthought-of bliss and power.

For that reason, its ways are preserved for those who genuinely wish to transform their lives. Tantra is not the way of the Lotus Eater – it is the path of the tiger.

To learn tantra, you need unswerving motivation, genuine intentions and unyielding integrity of purpose. Because of all the puerile, soft-core hype that has been attached to tantra and tantric techniques in the recent past, your tantra teacher may have to help you unlearn everything you have picked up about this sacred science so far.

Ask yourself this: we claim to have all the comforts of modern life, but are we feeling pleasured at all? How many orgasms have you had in your entire life? According to the most recent research, close to 70% of all women alive today have never reached an orgasm during sexual intercourse.

In most cases, human beings have surrendered to a future bereft of anything close to true pleasure. They are instead satisfied with the fleeting satisfaction of wealth amassment and electronic gadgetry -  and the cold comfort of  superficial spiritual boluses.

The order of the ancient tantra master knew where humankind was headed. These pioneers of tantra may not have seen iPads, the vibrators and the unfortunate arrival of Viagra in their visions of the future, but they knew that we are chronically focused on Easy Street.

They knew that in the end, even the sacred teachings that they held would be diluted, bastardized and served up in impotent forms for the consumption of those who would not choose the path of authentic tantra.

Disturbed by these visions, they wrapped their hard-earned knowledge in the cloak of almost impenetrable secrecy. The traditional secrets of tantra were only handed down a bloodline of genuine tantra teachers.

These teachers survive to the present day, and they hold the key to the True Path. By learning and using authentic tantric techniques under their supervision, you can still discover how to live life to the fullest.

The Path of Tantra cannot be divorced from its fundamentals; but by learning the intricacies of tantric breathing and visualization from a genuine tantra master, you can learn how to trigger the charmananda bindu to release sexual energy from the sex organs up the spine to the back of the brain. You can learn how to ride the waves of tantric orgasm and also achieve enlightenment.

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?
