Living Tantra Every Day

I’m lying in bed.
My belly moves with each breath.
My nostrils widen.
The windows are open — it’s a windy day.

The wind brushes my skin.
The trees outside are moving with it.
I hear sounds — near and far.
I hear myself typing this text.

There’s a subtle energy moving through me.
A quiet excitement.
The feeling of doing exactly what I want to do —
right now,
with awareness,
with love.

And just like that, I’m alive.
And that’s enough.
I could die in this moment and feel complete.

That is Tantra.

Tantra is breath, sound & movement.

It is Sat Chit Ananda —
being, consciousness & bliss.

It’s the simple act of noticing:
what’s happening inside you,
and outside
It’s not about becoming divine.
It’s about realizing
you already are.

Tantra is a rebellion.
A sacred defiance against rigid structures, against “what must be done” and “how it should be done.”
It doesn't conform — it transforms.

When Tantra met the West, Neo-Tantra was born.
It exploded in popularity as a form of liberation — a powerful response to repression and cultural shame around pleasure and the body.
And that’s beautiful.
Neo-Tantra gave many permissions to reclaim sensuality, to worship the Goddess through touch, breath, and erotic awakening.
But like any pendulum, sometimes it swings too far — into over-sexualization, into glorifying the body in a way that can lose the deeper soul of the path.
Much like how yoga, when first Westernized, became only about asana, Neo-Tantra often risks becoming only about sex.

But Tantra is far more vast.
And far more intimate.

Classical Tantra is a deeper remembering.
It is not about worshipping the Goddess.
It is about becoming Her.
It is about feeling Her within you — as your own inner radiance, your own awakened consciousness.

In this view, everything can become sacred — every act a ritual, every breath a prayer.
Not because the external is declared holy, but because you discover the sacred within yourself.
Tantra doesn’t glorify everything — it sanctifies everything.

There are different paths within Tantra, each with their own flavor:

• White Tantra (the Right-Handed Path) is ascetic — celibate, inward, and said to be the most direct road to enlightenment. But in today’s fast-paced, transactional world, it can feel nearly impossible.

• Red Tantra (the Left-Handed Path) embraces life fully — wine, meat, sex, the senses — nothing is denied. It’s devotional, messy, sensual, and holy.

• Kaula Tantra, the Third Path, walks the middle ground. It honors both spirit and body, silence and sound. It rejects nothing.

In all forms, Tantra reveres the body as a temple — a mystical vessel of the Divine.
It is non-dual at its core. It doesn't separate the sacred from the mundane, the human from the divine.
It honors Shiva and Shakti, the masculine and feminine within all beings.
It acknowledges emotions — not to cling, but to witness.
It is a dance of presence and surrender.

In traditional Tantra, the cosmic feminine is not worshipped as a faraway deity, but known as the very fabric of existence: consciousness, creativity, compassion, and wild, birthing power.
Mother Nature is the supreme Goddess — abundant, fierce, tender, erotic, and wise.
Her power is not just in her beauty, but in her capacity to give life.
This is the true power of Woman — a power often misunderstood and overly sexualized in modern interpretations.

But the Goddess is not just sexual —
She is the bliss of simply being.
She is the pulse of Ananda in the heart.
To walk the tantric path is to feel Her — not as an idea, but as a living presence in your breath, your bones, your being.

In essence:

Tantra is Meditation in Movement:

• Maithuna (the act of love making ) is meditation in movement.

• Breathing is meditation in movement.

• Dancing is meditation in movement.

• The movement of the physical and the ethereal.

Tantra is meditation in movement.
