Quite simply, tantra is a gateway to rising consciousness. Awakening from our dulled senses and conditioned minds to feel the Peace, Love and Joy that we truly are. In our modern world of pressure and performance we have become disconnected to the divine within us and our natural state of bliss and aliveness.
Tantra offers a path of ‘awakening through the body’ by raising and expanding your life force energy. With the guidance of a qualified practitioner and use of three tantric keys (breath, sound and movement), your energy is guided upward through the seven chakras (energy centres) to the crown of the head, opening the energetic body and accessing expanded consciousness. Over time, your entire being—mind, body, and spirit—has the potential to go through a huge energetic shift into a new state of embodied awareness and a more expansive sense of self. This is a journey to:
• Increased feelings of Peace, Love & Joy - your true nature!
• Greater feelings of compassion and empathy
• Expanded self-awareness
• Enhanced intuition or even psychic abilities
• Improved creativity
• Increased spiritual connection
• A stronger feeling of being aligned and in the flow of life
I’ll conclude this short blog with a quote from world renowned tantra teacher, Ma Ananda Sarita:
Children are born in this state (embodied awareness) before the conditioning of life pulls them away from presence. They feel fully, move freely, and follow what lights them up. That childlike bliss is a glimpse of what we return to when we reconnect with the body's wisdom and allow ourselves to be inspired by our true nature. In the tantric path, as adults, we meet that innocence again but now woven with the insight we've gained through our journey.
