About Tantra

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:45:50 GMT

Tantra is a spiritual tradition that originated in India some 4,000 years ago. It is a way of life that celebrates and strives for the union of body, mind, heart and soul. Tantra is a form of yoga. Yoga means union. The ultimate purpose of Tantra is the union of lovers, and ultimately union with the Divine. In the Tantric tradition, sexuality and spirituality are joined. Lovers actually invite God into their bed!

The practices of Tantra were first introduced to the west in the 1800s, but a Tantric revival in the ashrams of India during the late 1960s has led to a gradual popularization of these practices in Europe and North America. Recent testimonials by celebrity musicians and movie stars like Sting and Woody Harrelson have promoted it and Tantra is becoming the sexual learning of choice for those who want to have it all: a passionate sex life, a healthy body, and spiritual growth.

The Male Tantrika

clipper's remarks: The male tantrika practices semen retention through transmutation of the sexual energy. There is more to this than meets the eye.

Clip Source: tantra-sex.blogspot.com

Practicing semen retention does not mean "Never ejaculating." I simply means retaining semen long enough to avoid depletion.
Avoiding ejaculation for too long leads to congestion/stagnation (commonly known as "blue balls") in the male genitalia which can be a problem in itself.
Congestion/stagnation can be lessened through specific practices such as taoist male genital massage.
More important than simple semen retention is learning transmutation of the sexual energy, where the orgasmic impulse is directed up the spine, (spinal orgasm).
With practice, the frequency of ejaculation lengthens as does the time spent lovemaking.
Although orgasm may become more frequent and powerful, it becomes separated from the impulse to ejaculate so that ejaculation occurs only occasionally.
Eventually, the habit of ejaculation will be relearned so that ejaculation becomes difficult. When this happens, intention must be focused to make it occur from time to time."

How to Get Your Partner Excited about Engaging in Tantric Sex

Step 1: Just touch on the topic. Start the conversation by discussing how you want her to enjoy sex more.

Step 2: Start the education process.

Talk about Tantric sex' goals first and not its ways or methods.

Step 3: Tell her it's not even THAT big a mystery.

Let her know that rock star Sting and his wife engages in Tantric sex all the time.

Step 4: Reassure her that your interest in Tantric sex is NOT because there's something 'wrong' in your relationship now.

Step 5: Suggest a good way to start practicing Tantric sex.

A great way to end the discussion is to suggest (not push!) moving forward into trying Tantric sex.

Tantra and Kama Sutra Sex Positions -"Sexual Fire Breath"

clipper's remarks: Sexual Fire Breath

* Lie on your back. Feet flat on the floor/bed. Knees bent. Legs comfortably apart. Hands at your sides, palms up. Eyes closed.

* Begin to breathe slowly and deeply into your belly.

* Focus your attention on your genitals and visualize drawing breath in and out through them.

* When you have a comfortable breathing rhythm established, begin to rock your pelvis, tilting it up toward the sky. Use your feet to slightly push off the floor so that you are not using your abdominal muscles to rock and they can remain loose and open.

* Inhale as you rock back. Exhale as you rock forward. (Note: some bodies want to do it the opposite way – listen to yours and go with what feels right).

* Make sound as you exhale – AAAAAHHHH. (This is the most difficult part for many people but it helps enormously, sound carries the energy).

* When you are in a comfortable rhythm, add PC Pumping. Tighten your PC muscles as you rock back. Relax th

The sexual fire breath is one of the best exercises, especially with a partner (but you can also do it alone), for rapidly building a hot sexual charge and moving it up through your body, helping to open all of your chakra centers. In the sexual fire breath you use a combination of sound, pelvic rocking, PC (pubococcygeous) muscle squeezes, deep abdominal breathing, visualization and hand movements.

Tantra Sacred Spiritual Sex

Sacred sex goes far beyond the bedroom, helping partners open fully to each other in trust and love through all facets of their relationship. Your relationship itself becomes a vehicle for spiritual growth and personal awareness. As you learn to open to yourself, to your own inner lover, you naturally open to others around you. You begin to understand that surrender does not mean submission or loss of self, but rather a loving expansion to something that is much greater than you are.

Balancing Feminine (Yin) and Masculine (Yang)

n both Taoist (China) and Tantric (India) traditions there are two opposite yet complementary forces at play in the universe, what the Taoists call Yin and Yang. Yin represents the feminine: cool, receptive, moist, and nourishing. Yang represents the masculine: active, dry, and fiery. Women are mostly yin, men are mostly yang—what popular author John Grey calls Venus and Mars—but within each woman there is some masculine energy and within each man some feminine.
