Couples Tantra – opening to intimacy
Tantra is a 5,000-year-old Eastern spiritual practice, a lifestyle more than a religion, and contrary to popular western perception, it is not focused upon sex although it does encourage the weaving together of the Spiritual and the Sensual.
Tantra is a “Sanskrit” word that has two meanings. It’s a homonym. It can be translated to mean “weaving” or the tools of weaving such as warp and loom. It can also be translated as a “Sacred or Divinely revealed theory, doctrine or book”. Both meanings are applicable.
Tantra is a set of teachings and practices that originated in ancient Hindu and Buddhist cultures of India and Tibet, which view the material world as a manifestation of the Divine. There are many Tantras and teachers of Tantra that each have their own slant on the teachings. The basic Tantra philosophy accepts everything about the mortal, material condition and its connection with Spirit. Tantra sees them as woven together, as contrasted to the Abrahamic view that they oppose each other. By becoming conscious of the unity of perceived opposites (male and female, light and dark, Spirit and Matter) human beings can transcend dualism and know the Oneness of Life. Tantric practices help us to become conscious of how the sensory Matter of our bodies is woven together and unified with Spirit, which allows us to experience more depth and enjoyment in every aspect of our daily lives.
Tantra is not goal oriented; the point is to feel and act from a deeply realized sense of unity. It is not about achieving Unity but noticing it in the world and revealing it in ourselves. Most of the exercises related to Tantra involve slowing things down, trying not to focus on anything outside of our experience of the moment. A Tantric experience involves conscious breathing, conscious movement, using the senses, sound, visualization, meditation, sensual touch, creating a sacred loving space, and sacred spiritual rituals. Through these practices we increase our awareness leading to greater understanding of ourselves, which eventually leads to enlightenment. Tantra teaches the importance of conscious awareness, of being completely present within your actions as the spiritual self. By focusing your spiritual attention on your body, mind and actions, you become all-around healthier and happier.
