What is Tantra?<\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tantra translates from Sanskrit to mean \u2018to weave\u2019 or \u2018to expand\u2019.<\/span><\/h3>\n

My teacher Katie Silcox, describes Tantra as the practice of keeping \u201cone foot in Divinity and one foot in the world.\u201d One of her teachers, Pandit Rajmani explains it as, \u201cthe process of eliminating the wall between spiritual fulfillment and worldly fulfillment.\u201d or more simply: weaving the two together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All is Sacred<\/h3>\n

Tantra is the movement from the gross sensory experiences to the subtle realms. Discovering or perhaps rediscovering the joy of being alive, the importance of stopping to smell the roses, scheduling time for self-care, slowing down to eat and really taste one\u2019s meal. Tantra is using sacred geometry to design spaces and using the stars to understand auspicious timing for important events. Tantra is putting one\u2019s body in shapes (called asana) and meditating on the sensations and experiences that shape invokes. It is exploring the pauses in breath retention and connecting with ancestors through the creation of altars and the use of prayerful intention. Tantra is the totality of this experience, it leaves nothing out, it is the belief that all is sacred, that it is all here to help us grow, to help us expand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Way Beyond Sex<\/span><\/h3>\n

While it does include the kama sutra (the study of pleasure practices including sex) it is far beyond just that. And while I\u2019m grateful to have discovered a path that includes love making as one of our most sacred acts, I also realize the limiting box this has put around something that is as big as the universe. There is a reason many of the other spiritual paths demand sexual abstinence to become an advanced practitioner such as a monk, nun or priest. By removing this potent practice you free up a huge amount of time and energy that is dedicated to the pursuit of love making. That energy can then be re-channeled into prayers, meditation and the mastery of a skill. The path of the true Tantric, is one of the most challenging paths because there is a slippery slope in the world of pleasure, and some have found abstinence the easy of the two paths to traverse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pleasure Practice<\/h3>\n

Pleasure, however, has also received a bad rap in the process. Why would we ever want to renounce such a beautiful, natural thing? Again, we come to the slippery part of the path. It is challenging for the ego to enjoy without craving, to acknowledge without repressing, to acquire without greed and to share without giving it all away. There is a middle path, and the more and more subtle you go, the tighter and tighter the rope gets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
