A Guide to Tantric YogaHow Tantra Yoga Works The general aim of Tantra yoga is to work by expanding awareness in all states of consciousness. It is a type of yoga which provides the methodology and the tools that are needed for this sort of work and it teaches us how to be able to properly identify the various factors that influence our thoughts and feelings and as well to transcend the obstacles to our evolution that arise from ignorance. Through Tantra yoga we learn that our desires are natural and that basically as long as we are embodied, we will have them. It uses means of physical and ritual cleaning, breathing exercises, contemplation, visualization and repetition of a mantra in order to help us be able to unfold our divine nature. The Tantras The Tantras are not books involving any kind of sorcery, witchcraft, magic spells, or mysterious formulae, but rather they are wonderful scriptures which are helpful in the gaining of spiritual strength, wisdom and eternal bliss. The Tantra is truly, in some aspects, a secret doctrine, and you cannot learn it from any study of books. The Tantric student must learn the knowledge and practice from the practical Tantrikas and the Gurus who hold the key to it, and they must be endowed with purity, faith and devotion, as absence of any of these qualities in the practitioner means a gross abuse of Saktism. Tantric yoga is also considered as being able to help with cosmic and sexual energy, and it stresses the idea that a great vein runs from the lowest part of the spine, where the serpent power, Kundalini, rests, to the highest and most psychic center, the mind, which is symbolized by the lotus. Overall it is easy to see just how widely positive Tantric yoga is, and as well how popular it is, not only in North America but worldwide. It is by far one of the most popular types of yoga, and because it has so many spiritual and physical advantages, it is often used as a combination with other types of yoga as well. |
