  1. What is Tantra Yoga? Beyond the Bedroom Bliss ( Core Principles and Techniques ) Tantra Yoga finds its roots in Ancient India's golden period of Hinduism - a time free from superstitions and high on spirituality. While the foundations have faded over centuries, people continue to follow its rituals, mostly unaware that they belong to Tantra Yoga. The modern world limits Tantra to practice spiritual sexuality - a ritual to enjoy “sinless sex”. In reality, Tantra opens the cosmic door to a realm of enlightenment, self-awareness, and liberation. In this article, we will discover the true essence of Tantra Yoga, its core principles, and the top techniques meant to attain “moksha”. Let's get started. What is Tantra Yoga? Tantra Yoga is a spiritual practice that considers the human body as a physical manifestation of the universe. Its main purpose is to connect you with cosmic consciousness through a number

  2. of techniques, rituals, and practices like meditation, breathing exercises, visualization, yoga asanas, as well as sexual energy. While utilizing your sexual energy to attain higher consciousness is a part of Tantra Yoga, the ancient medium to enlightenment doesn't solely focus on the physical. Its various channels allow you to use your mental, emotional, and spiritual energy as well to reach and become one with the divine force. Undoubtedly, it helps you elevate your sex life. But limiting its benefits to the bedroom is like limiting an ocean to a drop. Tantra guides you to a serene state where you are undisturbed by loss or victory. In this state, you discover solace amidst both pain and joy, cultivating a life infused with a constant sense of love and happiness. Top 4 core principles of Tantra Yoga 1. Non-duality: The soul and universe are one Non-duality, also known as “Advaitavada” is the most fundamental principle of Tantra Yoga. It states that the soul is the microcosm of the universe - it means you are an entire universe on your own. It emphasizes the oneness or unity of the ultimate reality. According to the non-dual reality, the individual soul (Atman) is identical to the universal soul (Brahman), and realizing this unity is the key to spiritual liberation (moksha). 2. The concept of the five elements or the “panch tattva” The Panch Tattva, known as the “Prithvi” (earth), “Jal” (water), “Agni” (Fire), Vayu (Air), and Akasha (Space or Ether) are the fundamental five elements that constitute the entire universe. Tantra Yoga views the elements as manifestations of energy. Practitioners aim to balance and refine these energies within the body, leading to a harmonious state conducive to spiritual awakening. Balancing these elements through practices like meditation and asanas is believed to activate and purify your chakras, facilitating a free flow of energy. 3. Shiva and Shakti In Tantra Yoga, Shiva represents pure consciousness and Shakti symbolizes dynamic energy. The union of Shiva and Shakti is central, signifying the merging of divine masculine and feminine energies.

  3. The ancient practice seeks to balance and awaken these forces within, a revelation important to realize the ultimate unity of existence. 4. Kundalini Awakening: The coiled serpent In Tantra Yoga, Kundalini is a dormant spiritual energy believed to reside at the base of the spine. Various practices like meditation, breathwork, and asanas are aimed towards awakening and ascending the Kundalini energy along the spine, passing through energy centers or chakras. Kundalini is often depicted as a coiled serpent, emphasizing the potential for transformative power within. Skillful management of this potent energy is central to Tantra, guiding individuals towards higher states of consciousness. Also Read: Is Tantra all about Sex? Demystifying 8 Common Misconceptions Surrounding Tantra Yoga Top 6 techniques of Tantra Yoga: 1. Dhyan: Stimulation of mental energy with Meditation The physical body has its boundaries, but the mind has none. Thus, meditation finds a special place in Tantra Yoga. Unlike conventional practices, it goes above and beyond to include extensive concentration, visualization, and energy manipulation. The objective is to transcend the ordinary, leaving the illusions of the temporary world and connect with the ever-expanding awareness. 2. Pranayama: Stimulation of life force with breathing exercises To breathe is to be alive. Pranayama, or breath control, is a fundamental aspect of Tantra. It involves the conscious regulation of breath to expand life force energy (prana) throughout the body. By mastering different breathing techniques, practitioners aim to purify the energetic channels and awaken dormant spiritual energy (Kundalini). 3. Asanas: Stimulation of physical energy with yoga poses Your body holds energy. All of your emotions from happiness, anger, fear, love, trauma, and disappointment get stored in your body. Yoga is a medium to release this energy and bring your body to its natural state.

  4. Yoga Asanas within Tantra involves intentional physical postures aimed at harmonizing the body's energy flow. These postures are not merely exercises but tools to activate and balance the chakras or energy centers. 4. Mantra: Stimulation of sound energy with affirmations Have you ever been advised to speak wisely as your words carry energy? Tantra Yoga not only proposes the same but delves so deeply into it that the results are breathtaking. In Tantra Yoga, mantras or sacred chants are potent tools used to evoke specific positive energies and vibrations. It is a way to attune the mind and body with cosmic frequencies. 5. Deity worship: Stimulation of spiritual energy Another principle of Tantra Yoga which continues till date is worshiping a deity whose qualities you wish to embody. This method involves intricate rituals, worship, and offerings to invoke divine energies. Practitioners engage in symbolic acts, recite mantras, and use sacred items to establish a connection with the chosen deity. It is believed that worshiping a deity provides you with their positive energy helpful in purifying the mind, body, and environment. 6. Kama: Stimulation of sexual energy Tantra views the union of masculine (Shiva) and feminine (Shakti) energies, often symbolized through sexual symbolism, as a metaphor for cosmic harmony and the integration of opposites. This is not the only method to practice Tantra yoga and can be used by like-minded partners who wish to be on this path together. Way to go! Tantra Yoga is much more than the spiritual union of two bodies, it's the union of the soul with the universe. Are you ready to embark on this transformative journey?
