There is a cultural longing for more connection and intimacy in relationships. There is also a call for sacred and spiritual connections. People of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations are feeling the need for a place to connect with their body, mind, and spirit in community. Tantra offers ways to deepen your relationship with yourself and others.
For those who are new to Tantra, it is a practice that combines movement, breath, meditation, bodywork, and sound to assist the energy system within the body, also known as chakras, to open. This opening allows dormant energy, also known as kundalini, to move up from the pelvis, along the spine. As this life-force energy moves up the spine, it helps one to transform and heal. The healing involves loosening constrictions within the body that develop throughout life. When the constrictions are loosened, one’s true identity is revealed. Transformation takes place, as well as life shifts: significant physical and emotional health improvements, new jobs, new or deeper partnerships, moves to one’s dream location—these are just some of the outcomes I have witnessed.
The intention of tantric practices is to expand one’s body and experience back to the soul’s original essence (known as purusha in Sanskrit): who you were as a fetus, free of stress or trauma, and who you are growing into as you become free. This is when we can come into our fullest potential, with acute awareness and clear, loving connection with others.
