What is Tantra?

TANTRA means weaving and expansion in the Ancient Sanskrit language. It is the process of integrating all aspects of a person, spiritual and physical; expanding your energy, awareness and intention to become a whole being who is in tune with his/her mind, body and soul. It is an “awakening” on all levels.

Tantra is an ancient spiritual philosophy that originated in India. It is a way of life that celebrates and strives for the union of body, mind, heart and soul. Some aspects of Tantric tradition view sexuality and lovemaking as a gateway to a strong union with your partner. This intentional cultivation and use of sexual energy for spiritual growth, healing, creativity and enhanced pleasure has become popular in the western world, thanks in large part to testimonials by celebrities like Sting and Woody Harrelson.

Modern Tantra is the sexual learning of choice for those who want to have it all: a passionate sex life, a healthy body, and spiritual awakening. You will feel comfortable with your body. Your eyes will be opened to a new level of sexuality, one that includes spirituality and awareness of your partner's innermost feelings and desires. It involves conscious breathing, muscle contraction, sound, visualization, meditation, sensual massage, sexual play, creating a sacred loving space and other ceremonial practices.

Part of the delight for Tantra students is that you can continue to learn and advance throughout years of practice; your potential for energetic/spiritual growth is never-ending. At the same time, this is a practice that yields immediate results—you'll notice a difference in your lovemaking and your relationship right away.
