Tantric Spirituality and Practice

Tantra is a form of yoga that offers a philosophy and practices showing how to generate, enhance and consciously direct life force energy that can awaken, arouse, enlighten, and heal the self and others. Primarily, Tantra is a path of the heart and a path of pleasure. Tantra literally means weaving together the polarities of the male and female forces. The path of the 23 is non-dualistic, meaning there is no separation of the physical/material world and the spiritual realm. Everything perceived is a manifestation of the "one" divine source. The body and its masculine or feminine sexual nature is not a source of original sin, guilt, and shame. The Tantrika looks into the eyes of the beloved and sees the divine.
