What is Tantra?
You've heard the word bantered around, but what is tantra anyway?
Ask that question 100 times and receive, well, a lot of different answers.
And do we mean Left Handed Tantra, or Right Handed? Trika Kashmiri Shaivismsm or California Tantra? What about the tantra that is primarily Shakti based?
And what is kundalini rising? Who is Kali? And what is the role of the yang masculine in today's spiritual adventure?
Some think that tantra is simply a shortcut to great sex. Or about breathing with one's partner. In the East, Tantra is considered a transgressive path.
The deeper truth is that Tantra is what a Tantrika does. And a Tantrika is one who lives according to the Principles of Tantra...
The Living Principles of Tantra:
Everything is an Experiment
As Within, So Without
Tapas & Spanda
Multiple Realities
Inner Marriage
Ascending Energy & Descending Consciousness
The Healing Power of Pleasure
