What is Tantric Yoga?
The word tantra literally means "expansion." Tantra yoga concentrates on expanding all levels of his or her consciousness to unveil and realize the Supreme Reality. Tantra yoga focuses on the dynamic aspect of divinity called Shakti, or "the Cosmic Mother. Tantric yoga strives to attune with the spiritual dynamic energy in order to transform personal limitations and release subconscious blockages.
What is Tantra Yoga Good For
Tantra yoga is not concerned with sexuality, but with the creative force and transmuting this energy into higher channels. Rather, the goal of tantra yoga is to awaken and harmonize the male and female aspects within each person in order to spiritually awaken and realize the whole universe as an expression of the Cosmic Mother, the divine life force, or Spirit.
Tantra yoga meditation is often practiced this way: A tantra devotee sits calmly and purifies mind and heart of wayward thoughts and desires. The devotee then senses the life force within his or her being and gradually, through imagination and feeling, directs the life force to rise up the spine, from the tailbone into the neck and then into the forehead.
When considerable life force is gathered in the forehead, the tantra yogi, through practice, directs that the life force move out from the forehead and form a body of light and energy three to six feet before him or her. The body of light in front of the devotee is encouraged to become dense and expand until it is as large as a human form.
The tantric yogi then directs love and devotion toward the dynamic body of light which is a profound representation of his or her soul and essence. Usually, after fifteen to thirty minutes of this meditation, the yogi invites the light and energy to slowly return into his forehead and down through the body to the base of the spine.Through practice, amazing renewal is felt through tantric meditation and spiritual awakening is accelerated.
