So what is Tantra?
Let's start by describing what Tantra is not...
Tantra is not the "Kamasutra" (the Kamasutra is the Ancient Indian playbook of sexual positions... that can come later)
Tantra is not a quick fix to a relationship that is lacking commitment
Tantra is not about reaching "the destination"
However Tantra can be described as...
The Ancient Wisdom of sharing energy between two people in such a profound way that it has the potential to be life changing
The Tantric philosophy to relationships is a more connected approach and also provides the techniques to help you tune in to yourself and your partner. The result is a feeling of greater closeness with yourself and your partner - and a deeper sense of intimacy
Tantra is a mental attitude and a set of skills that can be learnt to strengthen the connection between two people that are committed to going deeper into their relationship
Tantra involves developing a meditative style of intimacy which is more about harnessing energy and being mentally present with eachother, and helping you navigate how you can feel more connected as a couple
The biggest sexual organ in both a man and a woman is actually the brain (not the genitals). So Tantra is not just about helping you "get in the mood", it is more about helping you think about intimacy in a different way - and it is this Tantric approach that will bring about greater closeness between you and your sexuality, and you and your partner. In a nutshell, Tantra is about bringing the right headspace and mental attitude into intimacy. For couples, once your energetic and mental closeness is improved, then your sexual closeness will naturally follow in your own time - in your own space - and in your own way
For a woman, Tantra is about deepening her feminine “receptive” energy. For a man, it’s about deepening his masculine “penetrative” energy of virility. This is not about creating a dynamic of one submissive and one dominant energy - Tantra is not a power play - Tantra is an equal sharing of energy that is deeper than just physical sex
Tantra is definitely about having better sex, but it is also about both a man and a woman feeling more vital and having more energy to utilise in their daily lives
Tantra is also about "channeling" your sexual energy and harnessing this energy to be used in other ways. Especially when you are without a partner, this helps to ease sexual frustration
Tantric Sex is a new way of having sex that has the potential to create multiple orgasms for a woman and to generate less of an energy drain for a man
Tantra is the feeling of "breathing into eachother"... this gives another level of emotional closeness that cannot be achieved through the act of just physical sex
BENEFITS OF TANTRA
A philosophy and techniques for deeper intimacy and closer relationships based on Ancient credentials that you can enjoy life-long benefits from
A way of becoming more close with your partner, emotionally and psychically, and and a deeper understanding of your partner and yourself
A deeper connection with your partner giving you more passion & more intimacy
More energy & vitality for your own daily life
More confidence in sex
More confidence in body image
Better quality sex
The health benefits are immeasurable - being able to reach orgasm more often and more easily - the increase in touch and increase of orgasms alone will reap enormous health benefit with the cocktail of feel-good / do-good chemicals that every orgasm releases into your brain (as does touching) - which are all important for mental well-being, physical health, relaxation, happiness and to help you feel more deeply sexually satisfied
Stress relief
Tantra also helps with letting go of body image issues – seeing the innate beauty of your partner - including all their physical imperfections - Tantra can help you get to a place of deeper love for the person right in front of you - just the way they are - and not wanting to change them
Tantra helps you create a lifestyle of healthy habits that will last a lifetime
Tantra is for you if...
You are interested in exploring a way of thinking and philosophy about relationships that is based on tried and true Ancient Wisdoms
You are interested in techniques and an approach which will offer you greater emotional and physical closeness
You would like to deepen your connection with your partner
You would like to explore something new and fun with your partner
You are interested in harnessing more energy to utilise in your daily life
You are not satisfied with the current level of intimacy in your relationship
You and your partner have mismatched libidos (meaning - one partner wants sex more than the other)
You feel sexually frustrated (meaning - you experience periods of excess sexual energy that feels like it has nowhere to go) and you would like to learn some skills to help you channel your sexual energy and use it as a vital force in other areas of your life
You feel sexually shy and would like some support to open up from where you are now in your sexuality and some help in letting go
You don't feel wildly fulfilled sexually and you would like to feel more sexually satisfied
You feel you have a wonderful sex life but you would like to take your intimacy to another level
Your sex life has gone stale and you would like to introduce a new level of spice and passion into your lives
You have difficulty reaching orgasm (either a man or a woman) - in fact did you know that about 75% of women have never reached a vaginal orgasm through intercourse alone? And up to 10% of men have difficulty with orgasm... If this is you, you are not alone, and Tantra can help you get there...***
You have difficulty holding back - meaning - you reach orgasm too quickly (man or woman)
You are interested in being "multi orgasmic"- which means - more than one orgasm in one love making session (YES this is absolutely within your reach and available to everybody - both men and women!)
You are having any type of intimacy issues
Tantra is the solution for both couples and singles
