Thoughts on Tantra


Life is full of Dualism. It has been divided in two, after observing the play of energy dynamics and it's characteristics. This dualism is visible in the entire life form existing here.

The forces of male and female, Yin and Yang, Adam and Eve, Shakti and Siva, Prakriti and Purush.
The masculine and feminine parts of the energy, constantly in motion, playing, creating, destroying...

We tend to perceive the visible dual nature of any of the force. The union of this dualism is Tantra. From here was derived Tantric Yoga. Tantric yoga is the effort to unite these two forces in the single energy force to achieve the peak of creation. Thus, trying to copulate on physical basis, in form of a man and woman. One should remember that the essence of such a practice can be beneficial but the real essence or Tantra is to feel that merging of the 2 forces within oneself. This can only be achieved by Observation and Practice of Being in the Inner Realms.

This form of Tantra doesn't require an outward partner.

It is a constant partnership between your physical, mental, emotional, etherical and your spiritual body. The unity of all these bodies will bring the most beautiful Union, exploding into millions of moments of bliss, raising your energy from subliminal levels to something beyond...

Such a partnership can be achieved through the practice and training the following:

Physical Body
Emotional Body
Mental Body
Spiritual Body

The typical training involves:

Physical labor involving exercise, yoga-asanas, breathwork, martial arts etc
Mental and Emotional Quietness through knowledge, breathwork, procrastination, breaking the ego, dancing, Mantra chanting, praying etc.
Training of Spirit by observing silence, teaching and Acceptance as Buddha said 'Tathata'.

So if you are on this quest, going towards your inner journey through the above mentioned training know that you are on the Right path.
