About Tantra
|
 Yoga and Tantra form the primary basis of Indian spirituality, and they are closely connected to universal philosophy. Many things have been written and reported about these spiritual disciplines, but due to their depth and hidden symbolism, they mostly remain unknown to the West. Being hidden along ages, Tantra remains diffuse, mysterious and enigmatic, despite occurring in many yoga techniques, particularly in Tibetan forms of yoga. At a consistent approach it unveils as an original science about man, where the cosmic powers merge with physiology, psychology, magic and spiritualism. |

About Tantra
|
 The Sanskrit word “Tantra”, basically meaning “woven material, net” could be translated in several other ways such as “consciousness amplifier” for instance. Tantra is neither a religion – such as the term is generally understood - nor a philosophy or a mystical path based upon metaphysical concepts. Tantra is an empirical instrument of the searcher on the path to spiritual accomplishment. It is a group of practical techniques (not only erotic ones) whose success is based upon the personal experience acquired in daily life. Amplifying one’s consciousness, understood as such, includes all aspects of life and within this very frame Tantra is the only discipline generating a synthesis between the seemingly opposed dimensions of sensory pleasure and Liberation. Our very hedonist desires based upon the principle of simple and immediate satisfaction are Tantra’s dynamics generating consciousness expansion until the mystical experience is reached – thus, sexual practices turn into a vehicle of spiritual progress. As Guhyasamaja Tantra mentions, “no one can achieve Liberation only through difficult and tormenting practices; Liberation may be also achieved through conscious satisfaction of all desires.” |

About Tantra

Tantra is an assembly of methods and processes that uses inner energies (like sexual energy) to accelerate spiritual evolution and regenerate us on all levels.
Tantric sexuality is an ancient secret key, which opens the gate to inconceivable sexual joys, and in the same time helps to achieve extraordinary spiritual psychic powers. This system is a kind of "White magic of sexuality", which brings us- if practiced constantly and correctly- pleasure, increased energy and amazing powers of control over the forces of nature. Even though these special techniques have existed for thousands of years, most of them are - despite what snobbish orientalists may say - still not familiar to the western world. To any smart person, they give the possibility to reach indescribable climaxes of sexual pleasure, as well as to gradually free up the sublimed sexual energy, so that it can be used in a creative superior way in different aspects of life, both material and subtle. Modern psychologists have discovered only recently what the tantric masters knew from ancient times: the fact that all animals, including humans, experience the most intense state of concentration of the psychic energies, both conscious and unconscious, during a successful sexual union.
