“What is tantra? Although often synonymous with sex, tantra is really about connection — whether that’s with yourself or between you and a partner. After all, the word itself — derived from the ancient Sanskrit — means “web” or “to weave energy.” In practice, tantra is about enlightenment: to transcend both the sexual and spiritual planes by engaging in deeply meditative, spontaneous, and intimate sex. It’s about getting to know your body Like yoga, tantra is all about physical and spiritual awareness. When you learn and practice tantra, you become more in-tune with your body, what gives it pleasure, and the way it feels pleasure. This allows you to pay better attention to your body’s wants and needs and make sure they’re fulfilled. Plus, the energies you channel during tantric sex flow throughout your body and can intensify your orgasm. “How to prepare your space Tantra is a holistic practice. It isn’t about sex or orgasm — it’s about the journey to get there. Your environment has a direct impact on your mindset and your ability to relax and enjoy that journey. Try this Make sure your space is at a comfortable temperature. If it’s cold, turn on the heat an hour before your practice so that your room is cozy and warm. If it’s hot, turn on the air conditioner, but set it to the high 70’s, so that the space is cool, but not chilly. Set the mood with candles or tinted light bulbs. Candlelight will add romance to the space, while soft red bulbs will give the area a sensual touch. Fill the space with your favorite scent. Light a scented candle, diffuse an essential oil, burn incense sticks, or hang flowers. Pick a smell that makes you feel sexy, but isn’t overwhelming. Soften your space. Lay down a satin throw blanket and a few plush cushions. Create a romantic or sexual vibe. Playing some music that you can move to, either by yourself or with a partner.” “Try not to overwhelm your partner with information. Instead, explain to them what you enjoy about your sex life and how you could enhance the experience. Listen to what they have to say. Your partner may give you an enthusiastic yes or a hard no. Or they may be somewhere in the middle. No matter their response, listen to and respect what they have to say. Let a teacher lead the way. If your partner is open to tantra, seek out a teacher who can guide you both as you learn more about the practice.” “Try this Focus on breathwork. Take 15 to 30 minutes to breathe gently all the way down into your belly and lower back, and get in touch with what’s going on in your mind — whether it’s stress or fulfilling your desires. Stretch for a few minutes. As you stretch each limb, clear your mind of any negative thoughts that are weighing you down. The more you unpack, the lighter you’ll become. Spend at least 30 minutes a day journaling. Work through the thoughts that may be blocking your spiritual growth by writing them down.” “How to prepare your mind Tantra is a spiritual practice, which means your mind comes into play as much as your body. When you practice tantra, you’re connecting your body, mind, and soul. A clear mindset and willingness to step out of your comfort zone are important to uniting those parts of yourself. Some people find that spending 10 to 15 minutes in meditation can help prepare your mind for tantra practice, as it allows you to go inward and examine your thoughts.” “It’s about getting to know your body Like yoga, tantra is all about physical and spiritual awareness.
