Tantra is often considered as sex, but the fact is that tantra is really about connection either with oneself or between partners. The word tantra is derived from the ancient Sanskrit, which means “web” or “to weave energy”. It is basically about getting to know your body just like yoga, and it is all about physical and spiritual awareness.
Just like meditation, Tantra is a spiritual practice and it is also a vast science that embraces the wisdom or concept of Ayurveda medicine, Yoga philosophy, Vedanga and Jyotish. The goal of Tantra is to utilize all methods to improve transformation and help the individual create a richer and more complete life. This means your mind is needs as much as your body, and when tantra is practiced, the body, mind, and soul are connected.
When tantra is practiced, you become more in tune with your body, discover what pleasures it, and the way it feels to be pleasured with the added advantage of the energies you channel during Tantric sex flow throughout your body and will intensify your orgasm. However, Tantra is not only focused on reaching a higher state of mind and body consciousness, but also about creating a deeper, more euphonious bond with your partner.
When you practice tantra, you and your partner become physically aware and spiritually present, giving each other energy that continues even after you have finished having sex. Some people find spending 10 to 15 minutes of meditation helps prepare the mind for tantra practice as it allows you to be calm and examine your thoughts.
Tantric Sex Life
Tantric sex is usually a slow and meditative form of sex where the main goal is not orgasm but enjoying the sex, effects and sensations of the body. The aim is usually to move sexual energy for healing, transfiguration, and enlightenment all-round the body. Tantric sex is believed to have techniques that can help reduce and resolve sexual complications like premature ejaculation as well as erectile dysfunction.
If you are searching for something new to do in bed or you want to become more intimate with your partner or you even want to try reconnecting with your partner, a Tantric method might just be what you need. As a matter of fact, Tantric sex helps people to know their bodies and their partners as well as becoming in tune with it.
By knowing and understanding the desire of your own body, you can adopt this during sex with a partner which may lead to having better sexual fulfillment and more intense orgasms.
