Another major difference between the westernized way of sex and Tantric sex is the emphasis of breathing and slowing down sexual behavior compared to the hectic, orgasm - focused westernized approach. In the art of Tantra there are a variety of individual and partnered activities that are designed to focus on breathing and meditation. The activities and exercises help to bring attention, focus and intention into the moment. This also for greater pleasure and sensation of the experience. In addition, breathing directs energy, frees emotions, increasing stamina and orgasmic intensity as oxygen is disbursed throughout the muscles and bloodstream.
Tantra can be very breathtaking, literally & figuratively, journey especially when practiced with a partner who is open to transcending into a spiritual journey while experiencing sexual ecstasy. The benefits to Tantric sex are endless. Some benefits of Tantra include: the ability to delay orgasm, ability to heal past emotional wounds, deepen connection to partner, rejuvenation of health, the ability to experience ecstatic sexual states. Practicing Tantra will increase intimacy, energy of attraction, communication, and spirituality ultimately enhancing the richness of the relationship. Through its rituals, Tantra teaches ways to carry this intense focus of concentration into all areas of life. The rituals make it possible to enjoy not only sex but increase happiness in all other dimensions in our lives.
Tantric sex extends far beyond the bedroom, by helping partners open fully to each other in trust and love through all facets of their relationship creating a space for spiritual growth and personal awareness. And as you learn to open to yourself to the path of love, you naturally open to others around you. You begin to understand that surrender does not mean submission or loss of self, but rather a loving expansion to something that is much greater than you are. The practice of Tantra sex shows us how to reclaim the sexual intimacy that is our inherent birthright. Through this most ancient of art, we discover new joys of the erotic pleasure and expand our moments of sexual ecstasy into a lifetime of happiness and bliss. The real essence of Tantra cannot be captured in neither oral or in written words. To truly understand Tantra, you have to experience it!
