What is tantra sex? This cannot be explained in puerile terms.
Tantra sex is a lot more than just the practice of a few kamasutra positions. If you have ever known a state of complete sexual ecstasy, how do you recall it? Surely you felt something profound. Maybe you discovered a new depth to the physical and emotional connection between you and your partner. Maybe you experienced a brief glimmer of the divinity of the man-woman relationship – the divinity it was always meant to have.
This is what tantra sex promises us, but it is beyond our grasp because it is beyond our comprehension.
We all want that kind of sexual connection with our partner. We all crave to reach the ultimate heights of sexual bliss. And yet, an accomplished tantra teacher will tell you that we also fear these states. This is because we feel inadequate – both physically and emotionally. And so we avoid the very states that we crave. The sexual passion and the blissful intimacy perpetually elude us.
Under the instructions of a tantra master, this ancient art of love and life holds within it the secrets of perfect, profound sexual intimacy – a level of intimacy that each of us was always meant to have, but never claim. Tantra sex is not a series of sexual techniques, it is a means to attain – and sustain – the joy of ultimate erotic pleasure in our lives. It not only embellishes our bodies with new sexual prowess and vigor, but our minds with a new understanding of us as perfect sexual beings.
The secrets of ancient tantra are more than sixty centuries old. Originating from India, they were born from a weariness of religious stances against sex. Tantra set out to disprove the lie that sex and sexual desire are immoral and impediments on the road to spiritual enlightenment. It upheld the ultimate truth – that our erotic desires and drives are, in fact, both manifestations of our divineness and tools that we must use to reach its fullest potential.
Thus were born the concepts of the tantra goddess and the tantra god – the Shakti and Shiva in each of us. The practice of tantra sex is a celebration of our sexuality – it provides us with the means of the Ultimate Celebration. Once you master its secrets under the tutelage of an experienced tantra master, you will never fear sex again. You will be suffused with a sexual confidence you never thought possible. Your body will bond with your spirit, and you will never know any division between them again.
You will have attained your highest sexual potential – a potential that will last your entire lifetime…

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.

This article describes a number of Hindu tantra positions, including the Tantra Cobra Position, Tantra Stretch Position and Tantra Extreme Stretch Position.
Tantra Cobra Position:
1) To begin this tantra technique, lie down in a prostrate position, keeping your legs tightly together and stretched to the rear.
2) Position your hands under your shoulders, palms facing down.
3) Inhale and raise your head, stretching your neck to the rear and using your hands to stretch your trunk upwards until you form a graceful arc from the lower back to the back of your neck. Do not proceed beyond this if you experience strain; however, if you have the flexibility, straighten out your arms altogether, bending the legs at the knees and dropping your head back to touch your feet. If your head does not reach feet, drop it back as far as you can and maintain the position with deep breathing.
4) Emerge from this tantra posture gradually, returning to the prostrate posture.
5) Relax with your head to one side, then repeat the exercise.
Tantra Stretch Position:
1) Lie down prostrate on your exercise mat. Ensure that the mat is properly cushioned if you are very lean.
3) Inhale deeply, bending your knees upward. Stretch your arms to the rear and grab your ankles, keeping fingers and thumbs together.
4) Breathe in and simultaneously raise your head and chest, pulling in at your ankles and lifting your knees and thighs. Breathe normally and try to lift your legs higher upwards, simultaneously lifting your head as if to meet them. You will wind up in a bent bow position, focusing the weight of your body on your belly. You can stop at this stage if you cannot proceed further, but can also stretch further and slide your hands down your legs, lifting them higher. Keep the knees together and pull back as much as you can.
5) Maintain this tantra posture for the duration of a couple of deep breaths, then return to the prostrate position with head to one side.
Tantra Extreme Stretch Position:
1) Sit down with both legs stretched out in front, keeping your back straight.
2) Reach forward with both hands and hold your feet, grabbing the right foot with the left hand and the left foot with the right hand.
3) Breathe in, bending the left knee and drawing your foot across your body and around your chest, maneuvering the elbow up and twisting your body slightly to the right. The left hand continues to firmly hold the right foot. Maintain this tantra position with normal breathing, the release it slowly and relax
4) Repeat the posture. Initially, it is adequate to clasp the bent left leg with the right hand. When this is comfortably achieved, stretch down and clasp the left foot with the right hand. Continue pulling the left foot, lifting it higher as you breathe out in sequence.
Do not attempt these Tantra techniques without the close guidance and supervision of an experienced Tantra teacher if you wish to derive the optimum benefits. Without proper guidance and supervision, many Tantra exercises can cause harm.
