What is Tantra and what is Tantric Sex?
Perhaps you think that Tantric sex is one specific, monotonous style of sex that you have to comply with ‘or you won’t reach illumination’ or something akin to that. That couldn’t be any further from the truth of what Tantra is. In actual fact, Tantra isn’t about sex at all.
Just like addiction goes beyond porn and is rooted in isolation, Tantra goes way beyond sex. Tantra is rooted firmly in connection.
What truly matters is the intention behind what you do. This intention extends to whatever style, or position of sex you want to have with your partner.
Today in the West, Tantra is packaged and sold as just another way to spice up your sex life. In reality, that is only about 5%.
Sometimes it’s presented as something only hippies and ‘earth warriors’ at market stalls do. Perhaps you imagine gazing into your partner’s eyes in adoration for five minutes, drinking kombucha, hugging for what seems forever, and making sweet love in missionary position. Or maybe missionary with a pillow. Wrong!
Is tantra more than sex?
Tantra is an ancient Indian path rooted in a deep philosophy of enjoyment and pleasure. But pleasure is a much wider category than mere sex.
Tantra can include walking, talking, sleeping, waking up, eating, drinking, and everything in between. It asks you to put consciousness into every action and moment. These ancient teachings show you how to be present with awareness.
Most spiritual paths tell you to avoid stuff. Food, relationships, activities, sex. By forbidding, they create an imbalance that is often filled with addictive behaviors. Restriction or lack and addiction are the two sides of the same coin.
Tantra is saying yes to life
Tantra is the complete opposite of that. It’s saying a loud YES to life and everything it has to offer. It teaches how you to take whatever your everyday life throws at you andtransmute it into spiritual energy.
This is the energy that raises you up to a whole new level of consciousness and pleasure. That’s the secret. Taking energy from the good, bad and the ugly, and turning it into something sacred. Something that lifts you up and sends you into ecstasy.
It’s a process of inner alchemy. Tantra is driven by practice, intent, focus, and love. And yes, this applies to sex as well!
Tantric sex, also known as conscious sexuality, doesn’t look like anything specific. It accepts all sexual orientations and genders. It includes each and every position and style. From the most romantic lovemaking with music and candlelight to the roughest sex of your life. It’s all good. Tantra rejects nothing.
