What is Tantric Sex?

The ancient practice of tantric sex is enjoying new popularity in America, making this the perfect time for you to harness what you already know about love and sexuality and take it to the next level.

The world we live in is more ready than ever for tantric sex because of our new appreciation for deeper spiritual practices. In addition, as life is increasingly driven by technology so that person-to-person contact is diminishing, there is more desire for the intimate, meaningful contact that tantric sex offers.

What Is Tantra?

To understand tantric sex, first you must understand what tantra is. The word tantra comes from ancient Sanskrit language meaning expansion through awareness. Tantra is a spiritual path that involves very specific practices that use breath, sounds, movements, and symbols to quiet the mind and activate sexual energy, directing it throughout the body to achieve states of consciousness and bliss.

Tantra traditions come from ancient practices in India, Nepal, and China. Whereas once they were reserved for royalty, now they are for all of us.
The practices also help heal past hurts, often stored in sexual centers of the body, so that you can be more fully
present in the moment and open to love. When practiced together, the techniques bring about a powerful
flow of energy between you and your partner, which energizes your being and expands your love for each other
and the universe.

Sacred Sex the Tantric Way

Feel your sex center now and sense any energy flowing there. Press yourself against the chair if you are sitting, or
squeeze the muscles of your buttocks if you are standing. Therein lies a powerful energy generator, according to
the tantric sex tradition but the path does not end at just physical pleasure. Imagine feeling volts of electricity surging in your sexual area, which you could direct to your heart to feel more love or to your mind for mindblowing orgasms that last endlessly and put you in a state of complete joy and bliss.

Tantric sex involves the practice of various meditations and exercises (including yoga) to arouse and channel tremendous energy within the body, cycle that energy with a partner, and send it out into the world. It is intended for personal fulfillment, interpersonal intimacy, and connection to the entire world of beings. The energy generated by tantric sex can be used for either pleasure intended for blissful enlightenment
or for healing.

So what is tantric sex? It can be any and all of the following:

-Achieving a balance between male and female energies within the self and with a partner.
-Sexuality that directs energy toward free expression and breaks barriers internally and interpersonally.
This is attained by elevating sex acts into a divine practice and uniting as beloveds for whom every touch and movement
is considered a divine gift.
-Aligning with another being and with the world through divine sexual experience.
-Celebrating sexual union as an honoring of all beings and creation.
-Practices that liberate the soul to experience the highest levels of bliss.
