Getting Your Chakras in Sync as a Couple

For two people in a romantic relationship, it is important that their chakras be in harmony. In Tantra, it is considered very important for a couple to get their chakras in sync for a happy and harmonious sexual union.

Tantric gurus recommend this exercise — which they call “Chakra Spooning” — to help synchronize your chakras with your partner's. This is also a great way to sustain your spiritual energies after lovemaking.

1/ Lie down on something soft and comfortable.

2/ Spoon. This means lying on your sides, one in front of the other, in a close embrace. (Most couples generally spoon with the same partner in front every time, but it can be fun to switch this up once in a while.)

3/ The person in back places his or her hand on the other's first chakra.

4/ The person in the inner position sets the breathing pattern by doing deep, slow belly breathing. The partner should follow this rhythm.

5/ Together, both of you should visualize your breath drawing energy into your first chakras and swirling together. Imagine the energy releasing as you exhale.

6/ Breathe into each chakra at least three times. If it seems like a particular chakra needs more attention, give it as many additional breaths as you feel necessary.

7/ When ready, the inside person moves on to the second chakra, and the partner follows.

After breathing into the last chakra, lie together quietly and feel the energies in your bodies and explore the experiences with each other. This is a great opportunity to create a powerful formula for lovemaking in the New Year!

Happy Spooning...
