Tantra is that feeling that you can take on the whole world. That power, that tingling is sexual energy, a special source that is present everywhere in your life. Once you can tap into it (even outside the bedroom), you can add sparkle to your entire life. In this training, journalist Pauline Bijster takes you on a journey to get out of your head and into your body with tantra.
What will you learn in this training?
A tingling in your body, the powerful feeling that you can take on the world - do you know that? You may experience it when you see your loved one again after a while, and the chemistry between you makes the air electric. Or in bed, when the sparks fly. But this sexual energy is also a source of power outside the bedroom. She is always present, you just have to know how to tap into her. How to let the sparkle shine in your whole life, that's what tantra is about.
You may recognize the feeling of being in an off state, as if life is passing you by and you're not quite there. Would you like nothing more than to feel alive, in every fiber of your being? Which can. With tantra you become 'on'. You discover a bubbling pleasure within yourself that you can return to again and again. Even on bad days.
If you dance, you probably do it because it relaxes you, because it's fun to do. But dance is also a very good way to get from your head into your body and to explore your sexual energy. You can lead when dancing - then you let your masculine energy prevail. But dancing always involves the feminine energy of receiving. These energies play a role in your entire life. Dancing helps you recognize them and use them consciously.
In tantra, every exhalation is an end, and every inhalation a new life. To inhale is to be born, to exhale is to die. That sounds tough, but you can also look at it another way: it means that you can start over about twenty thousand times a day. The more consciously you breathe, the more you are in the 'now'.
Gently tapping fingers on the back of your hand: the smallest touch can be very exciting. Simply because we are not used to caressing each other softly and attentively. It is precisely by practicing these kinds of subtle touches – on others and on yourself – that you make new discoveries. You get to the core of your feelings and tantric energy.
If you become more aware of your body and your energy flows better, you will also feel more emotions. We are sometimes a little afraid of this, especially when it comes to 'negative' feelings such as anger or fear. Our brains work furiously to explain those emotions. But you can also simply experience feelings. Even, or perhaps especially, if they are powerful. The trick: don't retreat into your thoughts, but stay in your body.
As a young child you were already introduced to your own sexual energy. Playfully, for example by touching yourself. Yet you may have already been an adult for a long time when you really became aware of that energy. Not surprising, because many of us have not learned to deal with it. Sexual energy is associated with shame and discomfort, while it is something that every person possesses. Tantrica Martina Gijsbers teaches you to get in touch with this side of yourself. If you can feel the difference between your pelvis, stomach and heart, you come closer to yourself. Then you start, as Martina calls it, “living in your body”.
Sex as we know it in the West has a lot to do with what happens in our heads. Pictures, images and thoughts create a sexual drive there, according to tantrica Pema Gitama. In India she learned about tantra from great masters. She described her experiences in the book series 'Tantra – The Hidden Mysteries'. With her partner Sahido she gives tantra workshops for advanced students. In tantra it is not about horniness, or what is happening in your head, but about contact, satisfaction and maintenance of sexual energy. The latter is especially a challenge. If you succeed, you stay relaxed.
The yoni and the lingam – or vagina and penis – are a central part of tantra. Logical: sexual energy would not exist without that tingling feeling in your lower body when you are completely 'on'. But as you learned in the previous lesson, tantra goes beyond sex. Your genitals have more to offer you than satisfaction. Your yoni or lingam is the central point of an energy that you can use for more than just a nice sex session. That energy can make you feel more alive, more awake than ever.
Once you have completed all the lessons, you have largely unraveled the mystery of tantra. For example, you know how to allow the energy that flows through your body. The energy that you can call kundalini, sexual energy or life energy. That you always have with you, deep inside. You can meditate on it, you can induce it, you can hold it for a while. It's a tingling in your lower stomach that feels like falling in love. The more you keep that energy 'awake', the better you live. And the best part is: the energy keeps flowing. It never runs out.
Why this training?
Tantra is body-oriented. By becoming aware of your senses you learn to feel where energy flows and where it blocks. This way you live more in your body, and you can tap into sexual energy - also called kundalini or life energy - even on bad days.
In this training for beginners we look for where that source of energy is most noticeable in your body. What happens when you dance, you breathe, you touch or are touched? When do you feel that special tingling sensation, and can you retain that energy for longer? As soon as you connect your head and heart with your body, you live lighter, freer and more full of life.
