The Differences Between Tantra and Sensual Massage by Goddess Devi

Tantra incorporates theses fundamental differences:
Consciousness
Integration
Breath/Sound
Eye Gazing
Intention/Awareness
Transformation
Movement

Consciousness:
"Tantra teaches us that the universe is consciousness. This consciousness is both masculine and feminine. Shiva, the masculine force, is solid and unchanging. It is possibility and pure potential. Shakti, the feminine force, is always changing. It is dynamic and creative. From her, all else springs forth."

http://www.netplaces.com/tantric-sex/the-spiritual-side-of-tantra/consciousness-and-tantra.htm

My experience with consciousness and Tantra and or Sacred Sexuality comes from merely bringing the attention of the Tantra participants onto consciousness and the ability to cultivate a deeper erotic connection increases incredibility. When the partners are in a committed or long standing relationship will find an intense intimacy. Consciousness reminds us as human beings that we are all connected. A part of the whole and A sum of it parts.

Integration:
"All Life is energy and, as such, it moves. We function as a system but the system has more than one part. In fact, science is discovering that we are much more complex than was originally thought."

http://tantricintegration.com/integration.html

Integration and Tantra/Sacred Sexuality creates a bond between tantra partners.  Integration into the wholeness of being experienced through Chakra alignment. Including Tantra Toning with Mantras like: RAM VAM LAM (R-ham, V-ham, L-ham, Y-oom H-oom Aah-ooM)

 

Lam=First Root Sacrum- Muladahara
Vam=Second Belly-
Svahadistana
Ram=Third Solarplexus
- Manipura
Yam=Fourth Heart
- Anahata
Ham=Fifth Throat
- Vissudi
Aum=Sixth/Seventh=Third Eye/Crown
- Ajna-Sahasara

After the climax holding one another in the Magnetic Chakra embrace.
Magnetic Chakra Embrace:
Right Hand of Male (if right hand dominate) on back at heart center of Female.
Left Hand of Male on Sacrum of Female Root Chakra.
Right Hand of Female (if right hand dominate) on Sacrum of Male Root Chakra.
Left Hand of Female on back at heart center of Male the fourth Heart Center.

Can be done standing or lying down. As long as roots centers align between Tantra partners.

Breath/Sound:
"Just think about it. The less oxygen you have running through you during sex, the less nitric oxide is produced. The less nitric oxide is produced, the less blood flows into your genitals, decreasing engorgement (in women) and weakening erections (in men)."

http://womenawakened.com/tantric-sex-technique-2-the-power-of-tantric-breathing/

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Tantricas know that Kundalini rises upon the breath. Kundalini is the orgasmic energy activate from sensual arousal. The Circular Breath is a great start to activate and cultivate arousal energy. Breath in through your nose, allowing the body’s natural filtering system clean the air as it passes into your lungs. Breath in completely filling the lungs with air and without a pause release all air through the mouth sighing “ahhhh” as you exhale completely and immediately and begin to inhale again.  Breath continuously especially during orgasm.

Eye Gazing:
“Eye Gazing is a very powerful healing method because it very quickly takes us to an experience of recognising the other as ourself. It directly challenges the illusion of separation and offers us the chance to repeatedly taste our fundamental unity. If followed the practice offers the possibility of a complete dissolving of self and other into what Rumi calls the 'Consciousness of Union'.”

http://www.eye-gaze.co.uk/eyegazing.php

As I begun my practice as a tantrica I found eye gazing to be the area where I have transformed the most. I never made eye contact with strangers much loess my loved ones.  In one of my favorite programs, Landmark Education, we practiced ten minutes of eye gazing where the exercise lasted thirty minutes total. The love pouring from the room was astounding. For the new tantra practice I recommend combining Ho’o Pono Pono and eye gazing.

I love you, Please forgive me. I am sorry or I apologize. Thank you.

I have discovered this practice to open me up to a deeper level and allow you in.

Intention/Awareness:
“Setting your intent is about directing your focus in the present moment toward a future outcome. It is about making conscious and committed decisions to attract certain experiences and outcomes in your life, even when you aren't sure when or how they will manifest. “Intention” is not so much something you do--it is more about the kind of experiences you attract by consciously focusing on what you want. Once you set your intent, it will affect how you behave, your communication, your mood, and even how you respond to life.”

http://lifecoaching.dieterpauwels.com/post/2011/03/25/Setting-Your-Intention-to-Change-Your-Life.aspx

Intention in the tantra session can look like relaxation to inner peace. The mind of muscle principle is easily experienced in the tantra session. With intention setting the ‘sacred space’ is an action taken to create a ‘sacred space’ to get real and intimate. Like a bubble of protection to let ones self have full self-expression.

Awareness:
“The word Tantra comes from ancient Sanskrit language meaning “expansion through awareness.”  Tantra is a spiritual path that involves practices that use breath, sounds, movements and symbols to quiet the mind and activate sexual energy.”

http://www.tantricsacredjourneys.com/abouttantra.html

Awareness is having an authentic interest in your partner.  By clearing our personal space through chakra alignment and ceremony, awareness becomes acute. The technique of sharing what is “flirting” with your attention in the ‘sacred space’ disappears the “flirt” in your mind to be PRESENT.

Transformation:
Tantric Transformational Healing is a highly effective way of making powerful shifts in your life.  As you transform within, external life begins to reflect this transformation immediately!

http://www.pinklotuss.com/TantricTransfHealing.htm

There are thousands of books on tantra. Transformational learning is innate, comes from with in us. The Self-Practice of tantra is transformational.

Movement:
“Body Movement: Lack of movement encourages body tightness and stiffness that restricts your energies and block out feelings. Tantric-yoga body movements and stretches help to loosen up and open both the body and the mind. As a result it opens the energy channels from head to toe fully, giving access to a free flow of energy throughout your body to help achieve full body orgasms.”

http://www.tantricjourney.co.uk/how_to_book.html

Move your body. Move your body.

Shakti:
“Shakti is energy. Shakti is power. Shakti is consciousness in action.”

Is Tantra sex?

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Last Updated on Thursday, 29 September 2011 17:53 Written by Dr. Corynna Clarke Thursday, 29 September 2011 17:48

Tantra Yoga is both a written and oral tradition that dates back at least 4,000 - some say 20,000 years. It is common in the West to equate Tantra with sex, but in actuality it is a spiritual science and way of life, more concerned with artfully approaching every activity and creating a well-rounded and masterful balance of each aspect of life.

While people are prone to attach Tantra to the Kama Sutra, history reveals the Kama Sutra to be merely a book that has been translated many times, often for kings or rulers who wanted to impose certain sexual standards. Although it does have its roots in Tantra, it has been changed so many times that you would never know it by modern translation.


Tantra is about embracing all of life and taking the middle path. It doesn’t advocate hedonistic indulgence that depletes the life force, nor is it about living an unrealistic saint-like existence that doesn’t include things like lower chakras and bodily functions and needs.

 


Contrary to Western assumption, several partners, or even one partner is not needed to be Tantric. There are many single and even celibate Tantricas. If the desire for transformation, empowerment and enlightenment is present, then everything needed is within. Each person is born Tantric, the inside wiring is already there.

Can a Man Really Become Multi-Orgasmic?

Can a Man Really Become Multi-Orgasmic? By Mare Simone

I get asked this question a lot. For the record, the answer is Ohhhh Yes!!! From the tantric perspective, orgasm is not a goal or completion of sex, but rather an aroused physical and emotional state that literally can be experienced throughout one's entire being. The longer one lingers in this aroused state of excitement, the more energy and life force they can absorb and radiate. A man may have multiple orgasms without ejaculating and yet actually feel energized in the afterglow. As a woman, I can only tell you that it's extraordinarily satisfying to be with a man who can continue to ride wave upon wave of pleasure with me. It creates a deeper and profound feeling of union.

The techniques that assist one in developing these skills can be learned and mastered with practice. Physiologically, it is possible for a man to have orgasm without ejaculating. Sadly, it is also possible for a man to ejaculate without much physical pleasure at all! Orgasm and ejaculation are functions that are activated by separate parts of the nervous system. Although they often do occur simultaneously, each of these functions can be experienced independent of one another. To a man this means prolonged and multiple orgasms are possible without an ejaculation.

Tantric Awareness

TANTRIC AWARENESS Kathryn Ryder

Tantra manipulates the materials, energies, and limited awareness
associated with the human body, to help the practitioner realize the
unlimited consciousness that permeates all space, time, energy, and
matter.

There are many methods in Tantra.

Some use complicated rituals of dramatic actions using ritual objects
to lead the mind to a particular feeling or awareness (Kriya Tantra).

Some tantric methods use no external objects, but still rely on
physical technique to move energy and awareness in the body - prime
examples are Tantric hatha yoga, and the sexual rituals called
Maithuna.

Tantric Hatha Yoga uses physical techniques (postures, breath
awareness, internal breath pressure, spinal manipulation, hand and
body gestures, internal muscle contractions, pressure on the various
external pressure points called marmas).

These same physical methods are shared in some varieties of Tantric
Maithuna (love ritual or union), with the added ingredient of sexual,
emotional, and spiritual arousal.

Other methods use intentional, patterned movement of the consciousness
through the body to harness and control the jumpy cognitive "monkey
mind".

For example, in Tantric Kriya Yoga, the practitioner moves his or her
awareness along specific meridian pathways (nadis) in order to achieve
more calmness of mind, along with and internal control of prana (chi
or vital breath energy).

Control of internal energy and placement of awareness allows the
practitioner to modify his or her consciousness and emotional state at
will, as well as claming the mind enough to achieve meditative samadhi
(absorption), and, by adding additional techniques from other systems,
or simpley abiding in naked awareness, Realization.

Hindu Kriya Yoga is analagous is practice and purpose to the
Taoistsystems of internal Qigong called Nei Gung.

In Tantric Laya Yoga, also known as the yoga of kundalini, the tantric
uses the resonant frequencies of the various parts of her energetic or
physical anatomy to "tune in" to new, different, or more precise
"bands" or wavelengths of consciousness, often using auditory tools
(mantra), visual tools(yantra), and anthropomorphized principles
(devata) to amplify and fine-tune her awareness and energy.

Laya Yoga principles can be used individually, in a loving couple, or
in a practice group or sangha.

In internal martial arts like kalaripayattu, tai chi, hsing-yi,
baguazhang, hoshinjutaijutsu, and pencak silat, the external
(physical) training and internal (breath, energy and mind) training,
mirror each other, similarly producing awareness of aspects of the
mind, energy, and physicality that are ignored or overlooked by the
normal person.

There are many more methods and schools within Tantric practice - but
they all intersect and build on each other...and they all rely on
experiences provided by the practice itself, not on book learning, to
deliver increased awareness of the nature of humanity and the nature
of consciousness.

If you truly practice and understand the view, principles, and methods
of any complete esoteric method, from any full system, in any culture,
when you really investigate any other system, you will see how things
fit together in the broader spectrum of tantric practice.

You will also see that if you wish to cut away all attachments and
prejudices, to really free you mind from limited concepts, there are
as many cultural prejudices in the esoteric arts as in any other
field.

The truly universal personality will want to leap over these
prejudices, ultimately leaving behind even the ideas that enabled the
practitioner to travel inwards towards freedom.

There are wonderful esoteric tools and traditions in all of the major
religions and spiritual traditions of the world.

Because of early human migrations and later the trade and cultural
exchange along the silk and spice routes, every one of those
traditions has absorbed practices from every other- nothing is, or can
be, ethnically, culturally, or religiously "pure"or separate -
Archeology is showing us over and over that everything culturally
distinct will ultimately mingle with, share fractals of, or reflect
everything else, or die off entirely.

Tantra would say thet the root or base of all these memes (ideas,
thought forms, or concepts), permutations, traditions, and individual
splinters of consciousness is the same ineffable primordial
consciousness behind and within everything, beyond name, beyond
concept.

The esoteric traditions are merely systematic methods to
experientially realize and live in full awareness of that primordial
consciousness!

If you begin esoteric practices - yogic, sexual, meditative,
scientific, shamanic, or otherwise - take each principle or method you
learn, practice it, play with it, experiment and explore it, and fit it
and its experiences into the bigger whole!
