What Is Tantra Yoga?
Continued from Rod Stryker: Tantra Yoga.
Okay. So all Tantra is not sex, and sex in the Tantric world is maithuna. So, what is Tantra yoga then?
Tantra in Sanskrit means “to weave.” It describes the weaving of fabric or tapestry from the ancient times.
With Tantra, one attempts to weave spiritual experience throughout daily life, instead of keeping them separate. It doesn’t ignore urges, but instead embraces them and helps us use them wisely in order to live our lives more fully.
In Tantra, one weaves practices of yoga postures, breathing techniques, energy locks, meditation, chanting, Kundalini, astrology and many others, including maithuna.
The lesson is that all aspects of life are sacred, not just our yoga practice, but our household activities, our work and our relationships. The practices are used to help each of us shine brightly and find more joy in our life.
