Tantra, an ancient spiritual practice and high art form given us by
the gods, helps us--their children--awaken, be conscious, feel
oneness with each other, remember who we are and experience unity
with all that is. Tantra's spiritual psychology that clears chakras
(energy centers in the body), heals ancient wounds and reprograms
cultural conditioning that has distanced us from those we love.

Tantra involves yoga stretching to heal our bodies, connect our
breath and postures, center and balance us. Tantra meditation
triggers electromagnetic kundalini that surges orgasmically up our
spines, connecting us to lovers and tothe divine. Tantric practices
simultaneously make heighten our sense of both individuality and
loving oneness with our beloveds. Tantra mandates clear
communication, kind relating and sensual mating that soars us in
sweet sacred surrender from the depths of our soul to stratospheric
heights where we lose ourselves in the beauty of love.

Tantra's centering, the balance of yin/yang, male female,
inner/outer, above/below, adult/child. When we center ourselves, we
develop an Aware Ego and become conscious of prejudices and
judgements towards others. We notice criticisms with which we punish
ourselves. We tame our demons and learn how to take personal
responsibility for our own baggage and not project it outward onto
others in harmful ways.

Tantra's feeling others as we feel ourselves–taking others into
consideration when making decisions. Tantra's consensus reality,
embracing group mind while honoring individuality and consciousness
in each being, respecting and granting all free will and creative
expression.

The tantric path is a spiritual discipline, where we practice bakti
yoga (divine service), to the apparent others, the beloveds, our
lovers and personalized Gods or Goddesses. They, in kind, lovingly
are in service to us, devoted to our healing, well-being and personal
growth. In this sacred service We discover giving and receiving are
the same.

Tantra's weaving, weaving all the levels of our awareness, called
chakras, within us and between us and those we love. Chakras
correlate with our body parts, loosely associated where ganglia join;
at the bottom of our torso, genitals, belly, heart, throat, brain and
neocortex. Our first chakra relates to our perineum, our need to
belong, feel safe, secure and healthy, grounded in our material and
emotional existence. The second chakra relates to our sexuality and
reproductive organs, our need to feel sexual and sensual. The third
chakra's our belly, the need to take what's rightfully ours and
empower ourselves. The fourth chakra's our heart which guides us to
love, cherish, support, heal and encourage ourselves and our lover.
The fifth chakra's the throat where we learn how to communicate
clearly, kindly, authentically. The sixth chakra's the home of the
brain: vision, intuition, intellect where we learn how to receive,
share and expand visions for ourselves, each other, others We love,
our community and world. In the crown chakra tantric meditations
invoke awareness of our unity with everyone and everything.

Tantra helps us rise to broader perspectives, yet stay aware of the
wisdom of all our chakras. We encompass more than what we think we
are and expand our awareness to more than our body. We expand our
perspective to even more than awareness of us and our darling, more
than the awareness we share with each other and with humans, with
life itself, or even with the Earth. We feel our oneness with
everyone and everything everywhere at all-times. We experience unity,
the seamless web of consciousness linking the manifest universe. We
merge with the latent--unformed but constantly arising––reality of
the metacosmic void, identify with divine play that can manifest all
forms and appreciate endless diversity while knowing we're one with
it all, in love will all creation.
