What is Tantra?

The goal of Tantra is to awaken and harmonize the male and female aspects within each of us in order to spiritually and soulfully realize the entire universe as an expression of the Cosmic Divine Mother, the divine life force, or our own True Spirit. Tantra is symbolically about interweaving our Masculine (Shiva) energy, and expanding our Feminine (Shakti) side. Therefore, these two polarities dance brilliantly with each other as ONE, just like our bodies, minds, and spirits dance the human experience called “Life.” Only here in the West, ahs tantra been often interpreted as a sacred sexual experience, which leads the meaning to be confusing and obscure.


Over the next several weeks, I will begin to answer questions about tantra and share my experiences as a Tantric.
