What Is Tantra?
Tantra is a body of practices that include ways to unite spirituality and sexuality.It is closely related to yoga. Tantra brings consciousness to sex and opens a doorway into sexual and spiritual ecstasy. Sexual energy is considered a resource to attain higher conciousness, an energy which accelerates human evolution, both physical and spiritual. Tantra does not expound any dogma and does not ask students to forgo their own beliefs.
Tantra involves methods such as breath work, movement, visualization, chakra work, meditation and exercises for sensuality, sexuality and intimacy.
How Tantra Works To Accelerate Your Development
During tantric lovemaking sex energy is 'refined' (by means of certain specific tantric techniques) into a higher energy frequency, or vibration.
When the human system vibrates at this higher frequency, healing takes place in the body, energy field and emotions--and spiritual transformation begins. Over time the human energy system naturally evolves into higher states of being. The goal of tantra, as of all yoga, is to reach union with The-All-That-Is.
What If I'm Not Spiritual?
Naturally not everyone is interested in tantra for the purpose of accelerating spiritual growth. Many people explore tantra to learn how to intensify sexual pleasure for themselves and their partners. This is a valid and important pursuit because bodily pleasure is a central component of physical, mental and emotional health.
Tantra is a great path for the sensualitst, the intellectual, the hedonist, the spiritual seeker-- and for the rest of us ordinary folks too.
What's all this bliss stuff about?
Spiritual-sex practices of tantra intensify and extend sexual pleasure far beyond the usual sex we experience.
In the process it also provides access to realms of being beyond the physical. In those realms lies bliss. "Bliss" may sound sort of "airy-fairy" but it's actually very real body-brain state. It's accessible, and the experience is repeatable.
Because tantric techniques produce repeatable results, it has been called a scientific practice. Do the technique, get the result.
Effects of a night of good loving can last for 24 or 48 hours. During long-lasting intense pleasure states, such as the extended orgasm, you body generates healthy chemicals which circulate throughout your bloodstream, and a dramatic increase of 'energetic charge' occurs in your energy system. The circulation of healthy chemical nourishes the body, repairs cells, and provides a sense of emotional and mental well-being
How To Get Tantric
There is a step-by-step path of study in tantra, a process in which a student learns new skills, techniques and attitudes.
Each level of skill you complete brings new pleasure and wisdom into your life, and prepares you for the next level of skills. So it continues: pleasure, satisfaction, and personal growth accumulate with each level of skill.

Tantric Exercise
To Increase Intimacy
The how-to's of intimacy have escaped some people. But I have good news for those who scratch their heads when the word intimacy comes up-- and for their partners, too, who may have given up trying to get some!
Below is an explanation of intimacy, and a simple way to create intimacy.
What Is Intimacy?
Intimacy is emotional closeness. It doesn't necessarily mean having loving feelings. It does mean the ability to be with someone with an open and undefended heart.
This exercise will help you to create intimacy, even without words.
When To Use This Exercise
1. When you are angry or arguing
This is a wonderful exercise to do if one of you is out-of-sorts, or if you've had a fight that talking can't seem to fix. Your energy field is all spikey and turbulent and so are your emotions. Words can't calm things down.
However, if both people are willing, you can still generate closeness by going beyond words. In the following exercise you use breathing and attention (concentration) to calm your energy field. You have an energy body just as you have a physical body. The energy body interpenetrates the physical body and vice-versa. Think of the invisible magnetic field that surrounds a magnet. Your energy body creates a 'field' of energy around you.
This non-verbal approach creates intimacy quickly. After 20 minutes of this exercise, your energy fields will begin to vibrate in harmony with one another.
2. This is also great to do if you've been apart for a while.
Doing this together brings your energy fields into harmony again.
3. Anytime, just to stay close and connected.
Even if you and your partner are getting along well, it's powerful to do this together at the start of every day, in bed as you're still waking up. (O.K, so maybe you won't do it every day. But at least do it on Saturday mornings!)
4. This technique is also something you can do before you make love, to generate closeness.
Generating Intimacy Exercise
1) Lie down with your partner in 'spoon' position (one person lies on their side, the other person lies on their same side, with their back snuggled into the other's chest. like two spoons together in the kitchen drawer!). Person in the back, place the palm of one hand over your partner's heart.
2) Pay close attention to your partner's breath, and then match your own breath exactly to it. Breathe in unison with your partner, making sure you make an audible sound as you exhale. Your partner has to hear you exhaling in rhythm with her/him. So check that you can be heard, and breathe louder if necessary. The effects are much stronger if your partner can hear you matching her/his breath.
3) Do this for 10-20 minutes.
4) Switch positons with your partner if you wish, and snuggle them into your chest.
Good luck with this exercise! I hope you get many years of use and enjoyment out of it. Now go practice ! Rock and roll!
