SPIRIT OF TANTRA
Tantra is the doorway to ecstasy. Since pleasure is everyone's
birthright and divine nature, by studying and practicing the
ancient art of eternal Tantra Love, you can learn to merge
sex with spirit.
Tantrikas believe that each of us embodies aspects of the
divine spirit, that we're all perfect and complete the way
we are.
In Western terms, where things always seem to fall short of
our standards, this may seem hard to grasp. But from this
spiritual perspective, mental projections of good and bad,
right and wrong have little basis. If you find what brings
you joy, your divine essence flows and you'll feel and project
serenity, inner peace, and compassion.
Of course, Tantra Practice is often sexual, but it always
starts with honoring spirit. If you seek a lasting connection
of your body with the earth, the heavens, the divine powers,
and your inner being, then you will soon accept sexuality
as sacred.
Tantric Sex is often referred to as spiritual because we believe
that the sacred union of two divine beings is the paramount
display of love as well as the prime crucible for healing
relationships.
Though this may appear another example of Tantra's eclectic
nature of borrowing any principles and myths that convey its
story, one might ask where did this spiritual view come from?
As our teacher Margot Anand says in her book, The Art Of Sexual
Ecstasy...
"Tantra was born in India around 5000 BC through the cult of the
Hindu god Shiva and his consort, the goddess Shakti. Shiva was worshipped
as the embodiment of pure consciousness in its most ecstatic state,
and Shakti as the embodiment of pure energy. The Hindus believed that
through uniting spiritually and sexually with Shiva, Shakti gave form
to his spirit and created the universe. Tantra, therefore, views the
creation of the world as an erotic act of love. The joyful dance between
Shiva and Shakti is reflected in all living beings and manifests itself
as pleasure, beauty, and happiness. This, in Tantra, is the nature of
the divine, the root of all that exists."
Supreme Bliss Tantra says accept the intelligence of the universe that
drives each of us in different directions. Some might say this is the
divine working within us.
In essence, Tantrikas harness and use the power of the universe to remember
who they really are: divine beings experimenting and adventuring on the
physical plane.
There is no more powerful means of finding out who you really are than
challenging yourself to be here, now, all the time. Be in the body, feel,
be the energy of life. Love yourself and all that you are. Who do you
think you are? Really? How are you connected to the cosmic energies?
Tantra can help you find the answers, the spiritual answers.
