Tantra - a System of Self-Liberation and Transformation

Tantra is the ancient science of liberating energy in order to expand consciousness.

Tantra and  Yoga are intimately related. Many yogic techniques are used as part of tantric practice and ritual. Both yoga and tantra share the common goal of union with higher Self.

Tantra is a rich and diverse Indian philosophical tradition, a profound system of self-transformation that teaches liberation of the mind through the release of energy.

Energy is often trapped in tensions and old unconscious habits and patterns within the body-mind. When energy is trapped our capacity to fuel all the dimensions of our life is limited. We may feel small, powerless, and out of touch with our true Self.

Tantra teaches philosophy, methods, techniques and rituals that can be applied to the body-mind to liberate energy. This energy awakens the dormant higher Self, the more competent, bigger us.

Tantra is both a philosophy and a ‘sadhana shastra’. ‘Sadhana’ is yogic or spiritual practice. ‘Shastra’ is a text that gives instruction on how to perform techniques.

Tantra Practices and Techniques

Tantra is above all, a very practical system that aims at producing defined results. Tantra provides us with simple techniques that we can perform daily, either as formal practices or applied into our daily lives for more creative living. By practicing these techniques we can remove tensions and negative patterns, create joyful states of body-mind and awaken consciousness.

The main practices of tantra taught today are Yoga Nidra, meditation on the Chakras and the core yoga-tantra practice Ajapa Japa, which unites breath, mantra and consciousness.
