Tantra seeks to animate and control the life force.
Tantra teaches that there is a constant exchange of energies between people, animals, plants, planets, stars and the universe.
So, at a given instant, try to be totally cognizant of as many sensations (what you smell, what you see, what you hear, the sensations on your skin, etc) as possible.
It is a given that Tantric mind training teaches us how to control our thoughts and moods, aware of the fact that by thinking consciously, our thoughts become focused and quite powerful.
Now keeping this in mind along with the enigma of the ages (THE SECRET) that your very thoughts do create your reality, I am sure you can now clearly see how Tantra can help you literally create a better, wealthier, healthier and happier existence for yourself...and the world!
Tantra uses love's energies to awaken the soul's light, power, and awareness. When Tantric lovers connect deeply and their energies join, they can exchange and magnify the energies and the life forces in themselves and each other by holding one another and breathing together.
When done correctly, this can lead to a pure and enlightened love that is beyond sex.
However, If one person is a Succubus and constantly drains the other's life energies, this could be construed as blatant vampirism.
Several forms of Hinduism teach that the world is an illusion.
Tantra, however, teaches that our world is real.
Tantra celebrates all physical aspects of creation.
Tantrikas enjoy all aspects of life: composing poems, drawing, painting, singing, dancing, chanting, writing, gardening, cooking, playing musical instruments, meditation, sports, gymnastics and... sexuality.
Tantra; a way of life, is a path to discovering the ecstasy of everyday life.
Tantra practitioners know that all seemingly ordinary activities, if done mindfully and skillfully, can lead one to higher mystical awareness. So, everything is to be experienced as a gift from "God".
Passion is important in all aspects of life for in Tantra, it is understood that our search for passion and pleasure is really a search for our "God".
Sex is only one doorway to the Divine.
Each flower is a doorway.
Each smile is a doorway.
Listening to music is a doorway.
Eating and drinking are doorways.
Frankly, there is nothing but doorways.
