Tantra - A Way to Transform Your Sex Life and Your Relationship

In spite of being an ancient art of lovemaking, Tantra can be considered to be a revolutionary idea in the modern Western world of quick 20-minute lovemaking. A follower of tantric sex techniques makes loves meditatively. When you convert lovemaking into an act of meditation, your senses will be able to perceive pleasure better. Therefore, Tantra enhances the pleasure of lovemaking.  

What is Tantra?  

Tantra was born in India more than 60 centuries ago. Tantra philosophy and way of life was an open rebellion against traditional religion, which considered sex and other pleasures of the body to be sinful. Tantra, on the other hand, preached that sex, food, dancing, and all forms of creative expression are sacred acts that can lead a human soul to the divine. 

Tantra has myriad shades of meaning and can easily be associated with the English words “weaving,” “showing,” “expanding,” and “manifesting.” According to Tantra, sex expands human consciousness and weaves together the female and male energies into a harmonious whole.  

What does Tantra teach you about sex? 

Tantra teaches you to prolong the sexual act as long as possible and to make the fullest use of the energy that rises during lovemaking. Christiane Northrup’s book “Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom,” which makes great reading, says: “Sexual energy is one of our most powerful energies for creating health.”  

Tantra teaches you not only to enhance your sense of sexual pleasure by prolonging the sexual act and converting it into a sacred act of meditation, but also to use the arising sexual energy to enhance you health. 

What is unique about Tantric sex?  

Tantra says that sex is a force of transformation. Tantric sex enables you to connect more fully with your lover. Tantric sex is a continuous dance; it has no beginning and no end. It is meditative, explores greater depths of intimacy, and gives an opportunity for complete self-expression. A single sexual encounter need not mean a single orgasm or no orgasm anymore. With Tantric sex, you can have multiple orgasms in a single sexual encounter. Tantric sex preaches immense love and respect for your partner.  

Lovers who have learned and practiced these ancient techniques of Tantric sex have also learned to direct sexual energy through the energy centers (Chakras) of their body. Moving the sexual energy through your energy centers enables you to feel those ecstatic sensations throughout you body, and this can also improve your health.  

How do your learn Tantra?  

Tantra is a fascinating branch of study; you cannot learn everything about Tantra overnight. Tantra can be summed up in the words of Caroline Muir and Charles who wrote the book “Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving”: “Tantra is a school of many courses in which there are many levels of study and an unlimited degree of potential for spiritual gain, for sexual delight, and for worldly success.”  

What does Tantra promise?  

Over the centuries, we have learned to regard sex with fear. We enjoy it, crave for it, and we need it with all our beings; yet we have been taught that to enjoy sex is sinful. Such negative beliefs have robbed us of our birthright of enjoying sensual pleasures to the utmost.  

Tantra teaches us to regain that lost birthright—the ability to enjoy the pleasures of sex with all our senses.
