Tantra Yoga
Today we live in a world and a society that evolves at the speed of light, not to mention the repetitive and sometimes exhausting daily lives that are our own. These changes and actions that can be described as "routine" affect the human being emotionally, physically and psychologically. Thus, it is not impossible that you may feel a form of frustration and uneasiness regarding your personal development.
However, it is not only the emotional state that is affected. Our body works on a simple principle: the exchange of messages sent by our mind that can impact and bring an impact on our intimate life and sexuality.
This is why we are going to talk about " Tantra Yoga ", a rather controversial yoga practice because of its particularity and my role is to educate you on the subject in order to break down all barriers!
What is Tantra Yoga?
The practice of Tantra Yoga allows us to learn to use our body, not as ourselves, but as a springboard to access an energetic dimension that our body emits. The term "tantra" is the English translation of the word "tantrism" whose etymology is "tan" to mean "tender".
To explain in more detail, the human mechanism is an accumulation of the physical body through what we consume during our meals, our addictions such as cigarettes and many other things. We are what we consume, just as we are what we think.
But that's not all, there is also our mental body which is related to a software program with a memory that leads each individual to act in a way that is unique to him or her.
Finally, we have an energetic body, attracted to magnetism and to what it attracts around us, whether it is the law of attraction or repulsion. This energetic dimension remains the most difficult to reach, because it requires a consequent work on oneself as well as an attentive listening of our sensations. It is then an exercise with convincing results that only those who practice it can see the benefits.
Contrary to what the collective mind may think, Tantra Yoga has nothing to do with unbridled sexuality, as many people assume. Sexuality is a fundamental instinct that has been present in our bodies since the appearance of the first Men in order to ensure our durability and maintain our evolution.
However, we owe it to ourselves to know our limits going well beyond our means. It is only by becoming aware of these limits and wanting to go further that Tantra Yoga intervenes.
How does Tantra Yoga work?
Tantra Yoga is based on a simple and direct principle: "anything that can bring you down, can also take you away". For example, when we encounter difficult times in our lives, we go through ways to relieve ourselves such as food, alcoholic beverages but also sexuality.
How does Tantra Yoga work? Well imagine building a kind of trick with our energies so that the energies are drained from the top and not the bottom. The intention is to deploy all the instincts like emotions, survival or sexual instincts for which a certain amount of energy is dedicated in the body. If someone commits a sexual act, its accumulation and purpose will be lost.
It is important to keep in mind that the practice of Tantra resides in many things we do throughout our lives in an indirect way. For example, making sure that your state of mind is aligned with your needs, your well-being, is also a form of Tantra. When you work on your emotional feelings in order to overwhelm your surroundings with love and kindness, this is also Tantra. Also, making your body extremely powerful and resistant in order to achieve incredible feats is also Tantra.
The practice of Tantra is implicitly conducted when we focus our energies on a specific goal.
What are the benefits of Tantra Yoga?
Generally speaking, whether for men or women, Tantra Yoga is a practice that mixes rhythmic movements, martial arts, acupressure and nervous movements along our energy lines.
Also included are various yoga stretching exercises and work on breathing to create a slow and fluid form of dance around our bodies. With this type of practice, you create a powerful way to release stress and anxiety that will only increase your vitality and sense of well-being.
From a body point of view, this practice will require a lot of body work through the asanas (postures) and it brings many benefits on your ability to relax.
With this type of teaching, you will also exercise your muscles, while also improving your blood circulation, relieving any tension or muscle spasms, increasing your metabolism, strengthening your immune system and balancing your body's energies, creating a calm, healthy and serene mind.
For women
Now, let's take a closer look at the benefits of this practice for the female community!
Tantra Yoga helps women improve their overall health and helps channel all the energy through their bodies. This practice looks very feminine because it is refined and helps women calm their minds. Women experience burnout and fatigue very quickly as much as men. It is therefore important to ensure that women find a way to take care of themselves and have a moment of complete relaxation.
The practice is gentle and calm, not endangering the female body. Women of all ages can practice and benefit from the teachings of Tantra Yoga. In order to see the long-term benefits, it is necessary to practice Tantra on a continuous basis.
The results are not visible immediately, after a session for example, but the benefits you gain over a period of time are invaluable and will give you a new perspective on your view of the world and the people around you. I advise you to practice this at that time with someone who is an expert in the field, who will accompany you and encourage you to start or motivate you to continue.
For men
And yes, among men, the practice of Tantra also goes hand in hand, and I'll explain why:
This practice helps men understand that a reaction to stress is natural in situations where they are challenged. Strong emotional intelligence can help them control stress by recognizing what their reaction is and what causes it. Men generally feel more relaxed after several sessions. They feel able to cope with periods of increased pressure in their work, family or social situations. Studies show that emotional intelligence is responsible for 58% of work performance and that 90% of the top performers are high to some extent.
Furthermore, men tend to know less about their bodies, unlike women, who over time learn to explore every facet of their anatomy and sensations. For them, Tantra will only intensify and bring the experience of their relationship to their bodies to a higher plane.
Thus, the practice of Tantra will open the doors for men to a new, deeper knowledge of themselves. Understanding their bodies and what makes them feel good, accepting their own pleasure, without judgment or filtering, can lead to a much deeper sense of completeness in them and a deeper intimacy with their partner. All of this will promote mutual understanding and better body communication during intimate moments.
Tantra Yoga: an intimate apprenticeship
If among the readers of this article there are people encountering certain intimate blockages, then read the following carefully!
The practice of Tantra Yoga not only improves your general health, but also your intimate life. It helps to channel all your sexual energy into one central point so that none of these energies escape from the body during an orgasm. In addition, this teaching can also help a person suffering from sexual blockages to free themselves and reconcile with their intimacy.
Thus, you learn to discover your body, to approach it step by step and at your own pace. You will reconnect with your senses, your desires, your desires without fear of being judged.
The goal here is the awareness that your body is indeed present and that it is one with your mind. The majority of sexual blockages come from some kind of physical trauma, which has impacted your psyche and subsequently impacting certain channels present in your body. Thus, no energy can circulate in order to contribute to the proper functioning of intimate life.
Knowing and experiencing intimate fulfillment is the key to personal development. In order to feel accepted by others, you must accept yourself, and this comes through deep self-knowledge!
But also an apprenticeship for two...
You can practice Tantra Yoga alone, as a couple or in a group. By practicing with your partner for example, you grow together and develop your relationship. It is an excellent tool to maintain the passion that resides between two people. By trying new poses and exploring your body, you develop confidence in yourself and in your partner. You feel more spiritually connected, the fear of intimacy disappears and your energy level aligns and stays in tune with yourself.
In addition, the Tantra poses stimulate the production of hormones rich in Oxytocin and Serotonin. This can also help reproductive health.
As your bond grows, so does communication when there are only two of you. You then open yourself up to a better, more adventurous, intimate life! Isn't that beautiful?
